(WEAA)—During this segment, Dr. Kaye and community members discuss the Brooklyn mass shooting report, lack of accountability, spike in juvenile crime, and public safety.

In the second half hour, Dr. Kaye is joined by a mother who says her 18-year-old son was both, shot and arrested in connection to the July mass shooting. The anonymous parent expresses her pain on how the traumatic event is not only affecting her son, but the entire family.

Throughout the show, callers share their frustration over city violence and the effectiveness of Baltimore's Safe Streets program.
