In our community, shit like this gets swept under the rug, or at least it did when I was growing up. Families knew there was a person no one wanted to leave their children around. Or that neighbor down the street that was just a little too friendly with the little girls in the neighborhood. Don’t continue to perpetuate the cycle. Your daughter isn’t a fast ass little girl, and your son isn’t mannish. If you think about it, I mean really think about it, they weren’t acting like that before they were dropped off or before they went where everwherever, and now they no longer wish to go over to so and so’s house any more or care to be around what’s their face any more. Ask question,questions and be concerned. Don’t act like your child’s welfare and mental health is a chore.

We as a community nor do our child(ren) need to be a #metoo movement statistics. We belong in the statistical category of college graduates, entrepreneurs, Blacks in Tech, and lower incarceration rates in the Blackblack community. We have to do better for our children, ourselves, our community, and our culture. It’s just that important.
