In this third part of the three part series Spiritual Healing From Emotional Trauma we explore the fears that so many adults have of young people based on media images of car jackings, stick ups, robberies, drive by shootings, riots and all the frightening images appearing on the news. Both Chicago mayoral candidates are appealing to the fears of the public in their discussions of "public safety." But what are the young people's point of view? What triggered the rage that exploded in riots across the country? What is the untold side that older adults need to hear? We see a common sight of young people stopped, searched, handcuffed, and eventually let go, after public humiliation at the hands of law enforcement officers. Is this kind of regular degradation really keeping communities "safe"? Or is it further traumatizing our youth? Jessica Ingram returns with more insight on what pushes young people over the edge to commit acts of violence.
