학교폭력도시 시카고

 

Welcome to World News. Tonight, cities in fear. In two of America’s largest cities, children plagued(괴롭히다 ) by fear of going to school and people who fear being left out in the cold(왕따 당하다). 8 years later, Washington and Kabul consider what’s been achieved by 8 years of war.

 

Good evening. We normally begin this program with the news of the day. But tonight we start with the reality of everyday in a great American city. Children in Chicago terrified of going to school. There was a development today the president sent his top law enforcement officer and his education secretary to Chicago to address that city’s school violence. 34 students were killed there last year. 290 wounded. One recent death prompted Washington’s attention to the problem. Chris Burry reports tonight from Chicago.

 

Today as this city’s children made their often treacherous(위험한) trips to school, the president’s men arrived to confront the crushing(뭉개다) wave of kids killing kids. “We simply cannot stand for an epidemic of violence that robs our youth of their childhood.” What prompted their visit? That infamous school brawl(싸움) captured on a cell phone. 16-year-old Daren Albert, an honor student

beaten with boards and stopped to death.

 

That murder is only the tip of the iceberg. In each of the last two years, Chicago has lost the equivalent of an entire classroom to violence. Many more including this 5-year-old maimed for life. “What kind of injuries do you see here day in and day out?” “Well, the injuries that we see….gun shot wounds.” Mt. Sionai Hospital treats 200 children a year who’ve been shot, stabbed, beaten. Why? Gangs, guns, turf(영역 세력) battles, kids surrounded by violence.

 

In an unprecedented study, school officials examined 500 shootings. Now they plan to shower attention on the most likely instigators(충동하는 사람) and victims. Black males, skipping big chunks of school who get in trouble far more often than fellow students. The safest place in school, the danger in the neighborhoods. Today, the attorney general promised to call to action and more federal money to help keep kids safe. Charlie? Chris Burry reporting tonight from Chicago. Thanks to you and tomorrow, we’re going to look at how police are dealing with gangs with the report from the streets as police confront the most violent offenders.
