signature goal: 1,000

Target: CHILDREN IN PRISONS WITH MORE TIME THAN THE CRIME
Sponsored by: REGINA MARTIN AND THE CHILDREN ARE KIDS FOUNDATION

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE OVER 20,000 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 17 LOCKED UP IN PRISONS THAT DO NOT OFFER A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE SOME OF THESE CHILDREN TIME DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME THEY HAVE COMMITTED. THESE CHILDREN ARE NOT GIVEN PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMS OR BACK HISTORY CHECKS SOME OF THESE CHILDREN IF NOT ALL COME FROM BROKEN HOMES AND ARE INNER CITY CHILDREN THAT HAVE NO REAL ROLE MODELS IN THEIR LIVES. SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO VERBAL, MENTAL, AND PHYSICAL ABUSE MOST OF THERE LIVES AND ONLY HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO VIOLENCE. THESE ARE CHILDREN THAT MINDS HAVE NOT GROWN TO ADULTHOOD SO THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE DEBTS OF THEIR ACTIONS. A CHILDREN OF THE AGES 11 TO 15 ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK OR TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES BUT THEY CAN BE CHARGED AS ADULTS AND GIVEN SENTENCES THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND SENTENCES THAT EVEN ADULT MEN OR WOMEN FEEL THEY CANT DO. WE NEED TO HELP THESE CHILDREN HAVE A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE MOST OF THESE CHILDREN CAN BE REHABILITATED BUT THEY ARE NOT OFFERED ANY HELP OR GUIDENCE. THEY ARE PLACED IN PRISONS AND TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TOLD THEY ARE WORTH ANYTHING TO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM SOMETHING MOST OF THEM HAVE HEARD ALL THEIR LIVES PLEASE HELP US TO FIND ANOTHER WAY FOR THESE CHILDREN. MOST TIME THE CRIMES DONT FIT THE TIME THEY ARE GIVEN.
