Marijuana Decriminalization

In the article "Marijuana law just creates criminals--CNN.com", was based on people that were arrested for the possession of marijuana.

 This article includes details and  some quotes that support this article such as "More than 50,000 people in 2011 were arrested in New York City for possessing small amounts of marijuana".


 "The majority of whom were black and Latino--at a considerable judicial and financial cost."  "New York City also spends about $75 million every year on arresting people for recreational marijuana possession".


These arrests only happen in a certain areas and neighborhood . Indeed, compounding the injustice is the fact that 85% of the people  that were arrested was black and Latino. 


I just feel that its sad to see people get locked up for things like that I feel that they know that it was wrong but yet they wanted  to be smoking and doing marijuana.

I think that them getting locked up is a good thing the reason I said that I because they know exactly what they doing and they need to be put a stop to and that's what the police officers was doing.

Child Abuse on the Rise, Especially for Babies

In the article "Child Abuse Is on the Rise, Particularly Against Infants" was  based  on child abuse and the things that can keep your child from danger is  base on child abuse and the important of it and how parents can help their kids form danger.

This article have some important quotes from John Leventhal  and he stated Infants tend to be hospitalized at a much higher rate than older children, and I think it's because the injuries they sustain are much more serious," .



Child Abuse Is on The Rise, Particularly Against Infants also  had some quote from John Leventhal and he stated step back, walk away, get help."This quotes means that whenever something goes wrong they should tell someone.

From what I just read I think that this article is very interested because it talks about the important things of what child abuse is and the way you can prevent your child from harm. 

This article just left me with some unanswered questions the reason why I said that is because it really don't shows or tell the important of child abuse nor does it talks about the things that can help your child from all those trouble.

Four Teens Dead in Car Crash !




 In "Four Teens Dead in Car Crash"  by Will James was based Four teenagers that were killed by a 17 year old driver who crashed into a thicket of trees along a Long Island highway early Monday, said the policeman.



The articles  includes a quotes from Heather Senti , chief of the Lake-view Volunteer  Fire Department  said "Unfortunately it has its own nickname of 'dead man's curve' because it comes up so quickly and it's such a sharp turn,"


This article also states Ms. Senti described the scene of the fatal crash as "horrific," with all five youths ejected from the vehicle..

From what I read I think that this article shows that some teenagers are irresponsible and they don't obey the laws. The reason why I said that is because the teenager that was driving the car was not allowed to drive a certain hours or if he is  he need an adult that were over the age of 18 to be in the car with him but instead he took matters into his own hands I had a car crashed and hurt  four other teens because he decided not to listen.


 This article reminds me of the recent article that I just did what was called Should-16-Year-Old drive ? the reason why I said that is because its all about being responsible as a young drive
 and that's what should-16-year-old drive is basically about.
