In Baltimore, where gun violence claims the lives of hundreds each year, what is missing from so many young men is a solid foundation. The youth workers behind a program called Roca (Spanish for rock) aim to provide that grounding, by teaching alternative ways to handling the stresses of life in a challenging environment. As one Roca participant, a former drug dealer, tells "Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel, "I came a long way, from nothing to something now."

Finally CBS! These are the kinds of stories you do best! See..you can still bring us what we love you for This is the best story you have done in years! It's about hope..and changing our thoughts that lead to violence..because an angry person without out a gun us still an angry person! The efforts being made here by these men IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO END ALL THE VIOLENCE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Exactly… “changing minds” to be resilient, virtuous, and of good character is the solution to the root cause of violence, destruction and poverty. Changing or removing constitutional protections on the human right to tools of self defense is a red herring… down a very dangerous path!

As long as you are aware and know specific areas to go to, you will be fine. It probably would be better to travel with a local. It’s like going anywhere, try not to stand out and just blend in, walk confidently. Don’t think fearfully. Canton, Fells, Fed Hill, Inner Harbor, Harbor East, Locust Point, areas near large parks are all generally very safe. - a local Baltimorean who was born and raised here.

I taught in Baltimore for over twenty years and all of my former students & their families are in my daily prayers. May God keep them and everyone safe, healthy, & happy. May they always make good decisions throughout their precious lives. Much love to all. Thanks for sharing this life saving message.

You taught in Baltimore? - you are the problem lady. "More than 75% test at elementary level in math and reading at Baltimore City High School. "

@patriciaburke2401 Год назад

Brian, I taught in a small private elementary school in the 1980’s and 90’s. Most of my students tested well above grade level at that time. Teachers teach according to a curriculum guide. If your statistics are correct, the curriculum should be improved. Most teachers are certainly not there to make a lot of money and do care about the children.

@kevinm.8682 Год назад

"guns" are not the problem. The mindset of these young men is the problem. I've been black all my life. I had a strong father figure, uncles, older cousins, who taught me how to resolve conflict without resorting to using a weapon. If you could magically wisk away every firearm on the planet, but not fix the mindset problem, they'd still use the most deadly tool around to resolve conflicts.

@patriciaburke2401 Год назад

The problem is twofold… the mentally disturbed and the availability of guns. Yes, anyone who takes the life of another person is mentally disturbed.

I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 175K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts.

Before they can reach their potential, go to college, make a life, have their own families. Make a mark in the world. They will instead be a statistic, and wind up in the morgue.

Initially I was gonna start off this comment by asking, how is it that so many immigrants, documented and undocumented come to this country with little or nothing and make use of the privilege to be here and just be able to work? But thats not the right question, those immigrants like myself had a solid foundation instilled by parents that cared about our well being. Those spankings and rebukes #discipline I got from my mother and father were not acts of abuse, but instilling basic fundamentals of right and wrong and consequences for your actions. Other methods of discipline are applied through different families, so its not one size fits all approach. But the key to making better people is that your parents need to be in your life. Now, honestly, that guy with 5 kids, I wish him all the best, but I hope this is not history repeating itself. Its sad though, through the eyes of an immigrant how so much opportunities are thrown away.
