Elementary students on suicide watch. Public schools with "trauma rooms." Teachers having to deal with students who have overwhelming behavioral problems on a daily basis. Millions of children with severe PTSD just from living in their neighborhoods. America, we have a problem.
Millions of children live with chronic trauma, and we should rescue them no differently than if they were victims of a natural disaster. Their despair has been normalized by the political establishment. but not by me. We need a massive realignment of investment in America's kids.
We need trauma-informed education, community wrap-around services, anti-bullying, mental health services, mindfulness in schools. Every school should be a palace of learning, culture and the arts. The best way to serve America's future is by better serving our children today.
We need a US Department of Children and Youth in order to coordinate the efforts needed to provide adequate responses to the unbelievable vulnerabilities & challenges of our kids today. America has the professionals who know what to do to solve all this. I will put them to work!
America, we have a big problem! I am a teacher and I teach traumatized youth! Suicide, drug addiction, self- harm, ( cutting) etc. these students then get sent to hospitals ( Psych hospitals) that “stabilize” them and throw them back on the street within days. This can’t go on!
This is an example of how we treat symptoms but not cause. We need programs that foster community and connection.
I see @marwilliamson as the placeholder for truth America looks for. She is the protector and the peace builder, much like a parent America hasn’t had. Let’s face it—if your not in the top 1%, your underserved. Be part of the solution with #Marianne2020 
The stress from the parents and the society is absorbed by the children, and they don't know how to deal with it.
Pedophiles are protected. Humans are trafficked. Parents are overdosed. A baby has more eye contact w. Dora the explorer than their own parents. We are mining our souls for monetary gain because we are fighting for scraps at the feet of the billionaire class.
They are terrified from all the scare tactics used by literally everybody. From the world ending in 10 years to Trump eating little babies and crushing puppies under his heel. Quit scaring the kids with all the adult's delusions about the climate and society. It ain't that bad.
#BIGtruth As a former educator, I’ve read many suicide notes. I knew kids as young as 11 on antipsychotic medications. I had 2 former students commit suicide. I volunteer now & regardless of age or economic status I see our children struggling.
