What is happening in Crofton lived here for 23 years and i personally know the stabbing victims whom the real victim is an outstanding person, and the guilty party never would i have thought could act out a horrid act! now the childs rape has involved people who i have gone to school with, and today the killing of a 13 or 14 yr old? things are out of control,How can this be acceptable behavior? maybe w/o assuming too much the section 8 housing needs to brought out of suburbs and the teens need violence education in school since they get sex education! Seriously a quiet town is now under fire!! Strict police patrol is in the wrong areas! unfortunaltely my generation and younger seem to believe they can act without consiquence and they are destroying lives, familys, and a community! my heart goes to the family of the victim and the family of the guilty teens! Pray for Crofton so our children can be raised in safety and parents can feel safe when they are in school!
