@MelRobertson225 My name is Melinda Robertson, and I'm an author, activist, and advocate from Washington, D.C. I'm also the Executive Director of Black Mother's 4 Justice, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization that educates mothers about the Criminal Justice System because Knowledge is Power!!!
I believe the senseless violence we are witnessing Nationwide results from Kids growing up playing video games like "Grand Theft Auto," where players have to carry out over 700 killings to get from one level to the next. When the schools were on lock-down in 2020, kids played video games 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Consequently, their undeveloped minds can no longer separate the game from real life!!! On August 31, 2021, China, Hong Kong, and Beijing banned kids under 18 from playing video games during the week and limited their play to just 3 hours on weekends. They are aware of the impact gaming has on their young minds and have taken action, something the U.S. will never do because video games are a billion-dollar business. Still, the reality is that they are destroying the minds of an entire generation.
I propose that we provide young mothers with Motherhood training and teach them how to become better mothers. Many are repeating the dysfunctional behavior they were taught and didn't know it's NOT okay to smoke weed with or in front of their kids, curse their children out, or have different men in and out of their beds!!
In order to Stop the Violence, Parents are going to have to take away the iPad's and video games and start being present in their children's lives and establish that Fear Factor because I came from the "I Bought You in this World, and I'll Take you Out," generation, but then the Powers that Be started Arresting Parents for Disciplining their Kids!!!
These youngins need a good old-fashioned ass whipping, and since they never had one, they would rather Kill than take one!!
Melinda Robertson is an author, activist, and advocate born and raised in the S.E. section of Washington, D.C. In 2016 Robertson’s twenty-year old son was in his third year of college when he was falsely accused and wrongfully incarcerated for stabbing a student to death during a brawl on the campus of a prominent HBCU. He went on trial for first degree murder, with no DNA evidence linking him to the heinous crime and found Not Guilty, however, during the trial the judge “added” an accessory after the fact charge, to which he was found guilty. The pre-sentencing investigator recommended time served and/or probation since he had NO PRIORS, but the judge gave him the maximum TEN years. She watched in disbelief as they "railroaded" her only son and fought vigorously until the Court of Special Appeals and the Court of Appeals overturned his conviction in 2019. They assumed that once the conviction was overturned her son would be released immediately, but that's not what happened. He was given another court hearing two months later, at which time the judge set a $50,000 bail!! She couldn't believe the level of corruption they witnessed. Sadly, the student's death remains unsolved today.
