More than one in four U.S. children are exposed to weapon violence before their eighteenth birthday, either as victims or witnesses, a large study suggests.
About one in 33 kids are directly assaulted during incidents involving guns or knives, researchers report in the journal Pediatrics.
“Millions of children are being exposed to violence involving weapons, and many of them are victimized by guns and knives, with an elevated risk of trauma and serious injury,” said lead study author Kimberly Mitchell, a scientist at the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. |

| A statistic - if validated - says a great deal about the current state of our society. A small proportion of minority populations are inflicting mayhem all out of proportion to representation. These violent perps are documented as being predominantly black, hispanic/illegals and racial mixes of the two by the USDOJ. In that "society" illegitimacy exceeds 75%, rape, prostitution, drug vending and a variety of violent crimes, extortion are commonplace. Small wonder the end product of promiscuous behaviors are "exposed to violence". Its their "normality". |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
