IDECLAIR MEDIA, DECLARATIONS OF IDECLAIR... IDECLAIR IT!

Hello World. It's not just the economy that's in the short term tank. The state of many American children and teenagers have also plummeted.

On May 28Th in Landover, Md. 4 teenagers . . . two, age fifteen and two, age fourteen . . . allegedly brutally assaulted Mr. Aboubacar Camara, age 56. He died two days later . . . at an area hospital.

Prince George's County Police Major Dan Dusseau reported "the individuals asked him for a cigarette . . . " when denied, they began beating him violently. They found the cigarettes . . . took them . . . and his shoes. Major Dusseau continued, "they left with the cigarettes."

Mr. Camara had been attacked just two days earlier . . . as he was walking home from work.

All four teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder, and are being held with no bond.

Many of Americas children and teenagers are missing something. A very large and serious something. They are missing parents, love, faith, nurturing, structure, inspiration, discipline, and a character based environment.

Why are our children and teenagers, allowed to walk and loiter the streets at all times of day and night? Is it because they see others do it? Others . . . they look up to. Why are girls and boys coarsened to a point of no return? Is it because society is coarsened and dumbed as a whole? Why are so many young . . . so violent? Is it because they witness so much violence (glamorized and non glamorized). Why are many "allowed" to be mothers and fathers, when clearly they are not qualified or interested in the greatest role of their lives?

These are just a few of the questions that come to mind. Why?

In the meantime . . . if these young people are found guilty . . . they should face the maximum penalty . . . and so should the adults that enabled them.

I know this is corny, old fashioned, and some may say Pollyanna . . . but it ALL starts at HOME. Period. If these were police officers who beat Mr. Camara to death . . . many in the same community would be outraged and in an uproar. Where is the outrage? I believe the outrage is in the "why" and the "who" . . . because it would point a blazing, and vivid finger at the parents and the community as a whole.

Parents must come clean and admit the dirty . . . that is going on literally right underneath their noses. These four young people had some adult(s) around them. All kids leave a "behavior breadcrumb trail" . . . and it's up to us as parents to follow those breadcrumbs . . . and not sweep them under the symbolic rug.

Unfortunately for Mr. Camara's grieving family, and all other families involved . . . it is too late.
