There were 208 such deaths among children under age 18 in the latest period ending in 2020, and the majority were among Black residents and other nonwhite groups, according to the Child Fatality Review Report. |

Here is a local story about this tragic truth. Since a majority of Baltimore City Homicide is the leading cause of child fatalities in Baltimore, according to a new city analysis of the unusual and unexpected deaths of 208 minors that occurred over the last five years. The report, written by the Child Fatality Review child fatality team and released Friday, said that new policies and additional resources in child welfare, education, public health and criminal justice systems are needed to bolster prevention and intervention efforts. About 60% of the deceased children’s families did not come to the attention of Baltimore’s child welfare system before the deaths. Deaths fell along lines of age, race, class and gender: infants, toddlers and older youth made up most deaths and boys were twice as likely to die as girls. About 88% of fatalities were to children in low-income families; 85% of fatalities were to Black children. www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2022-01-21/homicide-was-leading-cause-of-city-child-fatalities-from-2016-to-2020Not sure about the "Childrens Lives Matter" comment, workerbee. It seems needlessly sarcastic. They do matter. Many of these homicides were at the hands of parents or other adults. It's not just parents in Baltimore City that kill their children. |

My nephew and youngest son both worked with abused children at different facilities. After several years, they both had to stop. They were so sickened by what a parent could do to their own child. Just heartbreaking.

Not local... but WTH? " New York City 11-month-old girl shot in face, police say". www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-city-11-month-old-girl-shot-in-face-police-say
"An 11-month-old New York City girl sitting in the backseat of her mother’s car suffered a gunshot wound to the face Wednesday evening, according to police.
The incident, stemming from an altercation involving at least two men, sent her to the hospital in critical condition.
The girl and her mother were in a car at the intersection of East 198th Street and Valentine Avenue in the Bronx, within the NYPD’s 42nd Precinct." |
