      Drugs
      The drug game that Baltimore City political parts and the police system (or force) used these to create a new criminal area ,with the children that was not being attended be their parents mostly because they was on drug. The City politicians and police know what they was doing and it was to destroy these youngster so the other could take their place. ⚖️⚔️⚖️

      We were. (Desperate) We were all too young to be eligible for work permits.
      Luckily, however, I was able to overcome some very dire circumstances and was eventually able to attain my childhood dream of becoming a police officer, and after opening several businesses, acquiring investment properties I've actually been able to provide employment for some of the young people that currently face the same challenges......
