*"Thank you Barack. Thank you. One more year to go. Let's get criminal justice reform done this year! #SOTU"*

Mr. Simmons, what about Justice for victims of Maternal Oppression & Child Abuse who often develop into depressed teens and adults requiring CJ intervention?

Is there no justice for Kendrick Lamar and Tupac, both men rapping or speaking about adult and childhood depression, as well as experiencing suicidal thoughts?

How about Justice for Freddie Gray, deprived of a safe, fairly happy American kid childhood by an irresponsible maternal caregiver who ignored her parental and societal obligation to place the well being of her child above all else.

Then there is Baltimore teen Michael Singleton. After being introduced to a life of hardship and struggle by a totally irresponsible mom, young Michael became so depressed he joined his depressed classmates in The Street, attempting to cause grave bodily harm to police responsible for protecting his neighbors from depressed kids like Michael.

I am depressed too. Depressed that Americans like Russell Simmons willfully ignore the substantial population of "living wild" (child abuse victim Kendrick Lamar's characterization of his mom's child-rearing lifestyle) married and single moms who for decades have selfishly ignored the welfare and emotional well being of the children they introduce to life.

What depresses me even more is the reason many people willfully ignore "living wild" parenting...because without a significant population of "living wild" parents raising "living wild" children, maturing into "living wild" teens and adults, people like Mr. Simmons would have to find a new line of work and venue for gaining fame.

*(NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers)*

Robert K. Ross, MD, President and CEO of The California Endowment, gives a compelling overview of the role that exposure to childhood trauma plays in the lives of troubled and chronically ill Americans.
