CHICAGO – U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and U.S. Representative Danny Davis today unveiled the Trauma Informed Care for Children and Families Act, which is designed to address the toxic stress and trauma that impacts many children from Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods.
“As we work to address the root causes of violence, we need to focus on the impact that community violence and other traumatic experiences have on Chicago’s children,” said Durbin. “During a visit to the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center last year, I learned that more than 90 percent of youth in the facility had one thing in common: each had experienced trauma earlier in his or her life. Childhood exposure to traumatic events can alter a child’s brain chemistry and without the right help may manifests in a variety of ways: trouble paying attention, acting out in class, depression, fear, anger, or fighting. In the long run, unaddressed trauma can impact mental and physical health, school success, income, employment, and can contribute to a continued cycle of violence. Our bill recognizes the ripple effect that trauma can have and seeks to provide our children with the support to address their emotional scars. Each and every child in Chicago deserves no less.”

Chicago’s been run by democrats for as long as I can remember. You’d think they’d know by now.
What is Turbin Dick up to?
By all means - IGNORE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! (Democrat desecration of the BLACK FAMILY and keeping people On The Plantation for VOTES!)
Good Gawd. These people are feckin’ NUTZ!
“more than 90 percent of youth in the facility had one thing in common: each had experienced trauma earlier in his or her life.”
And, why is that, DICK?
It’s liberal Chicago, DICK.
Don’t blame me, DICK.
I live in Minnesota. We have our own problems.
DICK.
These clowns are ass backwards on how to deal with the overwhelming issues of crime in Chicago
That is exactly correct and more importantly going to the Chicago Machine without which little Dickie would be mayor of Nowhereville, IL instead of a US Senator.
Sounds familiar. We can’t or won’t take out the bad guys so we open camps to house people in to be safe. In the meantime with nothing to do the camps swell from 1 million to ten million in 10 years but that is a different problem.
It is DemoRats, and only DemoRats like Dirty Turban Durbin, that are directly responsible for violence against Chicago children.
Dick, you’re a dick.
“What is Turbin up to”
The usual; don’t solve the problems, just put band aids on the victims.
TYPICAL.

No, not even that.
It opens the barn-door to the lawyers and judicial wing of the revolving-door of the DNC donation machine.
Nothing but vague platitudes of, “We did *something*” electioneering.
create a situation then resolve using OPM - demonrats
Hard to believe it can get worse. And yet, these assclowns have a way!
Well, hey, Dickeo, I can come up with an even higher correlation:
I'm willing to bet near 100% of the youth in the facility come from an area where libs like YOU are in charge.
