2/ We have millions of chronically traumatized children. 13 million hungry kids, millions in schools where they don’t learn to read, millions with PTSD from simply living in their neighborhoods, sex trafficking, violent abuse at home etc. Current system an inadequate response.

3/ But America does not lack the needed expertise to create community wraparound services, provide for early childhood needs and repair this awful, too often hidden psychological, physical & societal wound. We need political will to create cabinet level Dept. of Children & Youth

Government, Religion, and Corporations are the cause of all human problems and suffering. The Rule of Law is a giant scam.
