Sadly, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac Shakur, Shawn Jay Z Carter and untold numbers of American children of African descent were/are victims of America's expanding and shameful *National Epidemic of Child Abuse and Neglect,* aka *Poverty*, that for decades has deprived untold numbers of emotionally abused and neglected young developing children from experiencing and enjoying a fairly happy American kid childhood with Safe Streets to travel and play on.

Child Abuse and Neglect that often causes depressed children to mature into depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal (NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers) teens and adults lacking empathy and compassion for our/their peaceful neighbors.

Quoting the NYT article, *"The suicide rate among black children has nearly doubled since the early 1990s, surpassing the rate for white children, a new study has found."*

Who is responsible for emotionally and or physically traumatizing, abusing, neglecting, maltreating developing young children to the point where depressed kids believe their lives are not worth living?
