[QUOTE] Prince George’s County Police say the number of juveniles being robbed as they walk to and from school is a serious problem the county right now.

Taking action, the Ardmore Springdale Association is starting a "Community Power Hour" in the neighborhoods around Charles H. Flowers High School, a county school police say saw two incidents targeting students last month.

Prince George’s County Council Chair Jolene Ivey tells FOX 5 she is participating with the association, handing out flyers about "Community Power Hour" effort from 2-3 p.m. Monday, March 11.

The effort is calling on neighbors who have outdoor things to do, like walk their dog or mow the lawn, to purposefully do so between 2-3 p.m. on weekdays.[/QUOTE]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is such an insufficient response to a highly traumatic, urgent, terrifying problem.

As always, the children speak truth to power:

[QUOTE]"I don’t know that I it would make much of a difference ‘cause like [people] still steal in broad daylight," said another student off camera. [/QUOTE]

Pretty much.[/quote]
