Summary
In East Baton Rouge Parish, juvenile violence is spiraling—with 83 young lives lost in six years and kids getting younger every year. Just last week, five teens aged 11 to 17 were shot in a drive-by, suspected to be the work of other juveniles. While numbers dipped briefly, they’re surging again: 13 killed this year alone, with 11 already gone before summer. Law enforcement is partnering with schools and community leaders to tackle group violence and teach conflict resolution—but many argue enforcement alone won’t fix it. The real solution? Deep, sustained investment in youth and families to break this deadly cycle before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
