shocking? sad to say it's almost par for the course. ABC news did a follow up story on the teen from some Spelling Bee movie. even with her brain smarts she got knocked up at seventeen. I wonder what's the siren song from the Projects? it's not just the females but the males, too. I've met some parents who are at their wits end.

Strangely enough this past weekend the Daily News revisited the two year old murder of Tiesha Sargeant who was going place before her life was cut short. She went to all the prestigious schools, got scholarships, and went on to work at Credit Suisse and then a job as a Web designer at Condé Nast. Yet, She got drawn back to the hood, like this girl, by shacking up with a pot dealer boyfriend who has no idea who shot her in their apartment while he was there. http://gothamist.com/2006/05/17/more_clues_in_b.php

They should have just left the projects. That's all.

She's kind of right. NYC is a a terrible place to be a kid, let alone a poor minority kid. PARENTS: IF YOU LOVE YOUR KIDS, TRY TO LEAVE NEW YORK.

You put in broadband and parquet floors and get rid of the tenants and you have prime waterfront property...

What's really shocking is that the death of a crack dealing thug angers more people than the senseless death of this girl.

How many more dead girls does the city need to see that the project of "The Projects" is a disaster!
