Here’s what I sent these officials…
“Hello elected official,
‘Boy pleads guilty to Toronto’s youngest-ever murder, committed at age 12‘ is the recent headline from the Star.” Can you believe it! It’s incredible that a youngster of 12 would resort to such extreme violence. Some things have to change.
As I repeatedly plead, we need positive and constructive programs that are followed up for results. We need to tackle the issues behind such violence. I have repeatedly pleaded for publicly promoted programs and endeavours to reduce the kinds of stimulation and publication of HATE incidents. We need something constructive that everyone sees, promoting GOOD, constructive action and reaction when in stressful situations.
What are you promoting or doing to help bring about the change we need in our society today?”
