COVINGTON - A Cincinnati-area man who was arrested on a heroin buy on
Tuesday was out on bond for another trafficking charge just 11 days
earlier.
Isaac Perry, 37, was in Kenton County jail on Wednesday, charged with
first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, heroin. He was
jailed Tuesday on a $50,000 bond.
Perry is accused of selling more than two grams of heroin to an
undercover agent of the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force. The charge
is a Class D felony, punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison.
NKY Drug Strike Force Director Bill Mark said Perry sold the heroin to
the agent in a subdivision of Independence off Cody Road on Tuesday
afternoon.
After Perry was arrested, agents learned he'd been released 10 days
earlier, on June 14, from Boone County jail for another heroin charge.
Florence Police had charged Perry with trafficking in more than two
grams of heroin, too.

CINCINNATI -- A juvenile who was on the run from officers after they say
he robbed a church deacon in Bond Hill early Monday was caught shortly
after his escape.
St. Bernard police say they tried to apprehend a 15 and 17-year-old near
Tennessee Avenue and Paddock Road after hearing reports of the robbery on
East Ross Avenue.
One boy started an altercation with officers before they noticed a gun on
his leg, according to police.
The second suspect escaped with handcuffs on while police were trying to
arrest the armed juvenile.
He was captured about an hour later at a friend's apartment on Paddock
Road.
Both robbery suspects and a third juvenile were taken into custody.
Police say the boys stole a computer and a DVD player from the deacon's
home. All stolen property has been recovered.

them gave two police agencies the slip, leading to a manhunt.
Officers found the handcuffed teen hiding in an apartment about 5 a.m. in
the 4500 block of Paddock Road, said St. Bernard Police Lt. Bill Ungruhe.
The manhunt began after police said they responded to a 3:17 a.m. burglary
report in the 6800 block of East Ross Avenue. Laptops and religious wine
were stolen from the home of a deacon at St. Clement Church.
The victims saw the burglars and chased them out of their home.
Two male teen suspects fled, but police spotted them entering a store near
the the intersection of Paddock Road and Tennessee Avenue.
They pulled the juveniles who are 15 and 17 out of the store and
handcuffed one without incident. While placing the second suspect under
arrest, police spotted his gun. A scuffle ensued.
Police knocked the teen down, grabbed the weapon and placed him under
arrest without further incident, but the first suspect used that as an
opportunity to run off.
The teen fled to apartments nearby.
At first, police thought he also was armed with a gun and hiding behind a
building. A search dog was summoned to scour the area.
The animal tracked the suspect to an apartment inside by 5 a.m. When
officers found the teen, he was still wearing the handcuffs but trying to
pry them off.
The teens were charged with burglary and resisting arrest. Officers are
looking into firearm charges.
Police arrested a third suspect, the resident of the apartment. He faces a
charge of misconduct at an emergency.
The stolen items were found in bushes outside.

A 33-year-old Millvale nigger is wanted on on suspicion of starting a fight that led to a brawl during a punch-and-cookies reception after a kindergarten graduation Monday, prompting an elementary school to be placed on lockdown.
Raymond Walker is charged with assault and inducing panic in the 11:30 a.m. disturbance at Mt. Healthy North Elementary School, 2170 Struble Road in Springfield Township, court records show.
Walker is accused of starting a fight with another man, Dominique Garrett, and injuring him, according to police.
The dispute sparked a brawl involving up to 20 others after the 150 kindergartners graduated and were snacking on punch and cookies in the school cafeteria.
"The assault did induce panic during the assembly, causing several in attendance to be pushed," Springfield Township police wrote in a sworn statement filed in Hamilton County Municipal Court. "The school was placed on lockdown and then eventually evacuated."
Walker left the school before authorities arrived. His last known address is the 1900 block of Neyer Avenue in Millvale, on Cincinnati's west side.
"It's unusual," said Springfield Township Police Lt. Brian Uhl. "These things typically don't break out at kindergarten graduations, but obviously there was some issue between the two. It's just unfortunate it had to take place there."
Lori Handler, superintendent of Mt. Healthy schools, said the two men who fought know each other from the neighborhood. Their dispute has nothing to do with school.
"It was very unnerving for my 5-year-olds to witness something like that," she said. "It's so sad that adults can't control themselves in a joyous situation."
She said both men were thrown out by school officials just before police arrived. No one was hurt except for the man Walker allegedly attacked.
"At least they didn't disrupt the children's program," she said. "I was absolutely floored. We are going to prosecute to the fullest extent for inducing panic in a school building.
"Obviously, you can't have people acting in that way in a public arena. No, that will not happen again. There needs to be some decorum. Panicking 5-year-olds and panicking parents? No."
This is not the first time Walker has been wanted by the law.
He was convicted of fleeing Springfield Township police, running a stop sign and wrecking into a tree, seriously injuring his female passenger, on April 19, 2003, court records show.
He served nine months in a state prison before he was released in June 2004, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
He also has been arrested on misdemeanor crimes such as theft, being in a park after hours, drug abuse and possession of marijuana and an open flask.

Updated: Wednesday, June 4 2014, 06:10 PM EDT CINCINNATI (Deb Dixon) --
Two men killed in one week on the same street. The January shootings
brought a focus on gangs and the return of an anti-violence initiative
that targets not just the gang members but where they meet. The SWAT team
moved in on a mechanic shop on Glenwood, where police say bad things have
been going on inside for a long time. Captain Mike Neville of the
Cincinnati Police Department said, "We have reason to believe true bad
guys go there to meet."
Going after places where gangs go is a way of
disconnecting members Neville said. A strategy used in January after two
murders on Avondale's Irving Street.
The Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce
Violence started identifying gang members and places where they hung out
starting with a local apartment complex. Captain Neville met with the
owners of the complex to define what kind of behavior would be tolerated.
Evictions followed. "When owners came in from Chicago a month ago up
there, a few weeks after that they were having birthday party and playing
soccer in the street," said Captain Neville.
Place-based policing was
also used after a 14-year-old girl was accidentally shot to death in an
apartment on Reading Road in March. Nine evictions followed in the
40-unit apartment building.
Wednesday the CIRV initiative tracked gang
members wanted for gun and drug crimes and took away places they like to
meet. Captain Neville wants them to know this is just the beginning. CIRV
includes the Sheriff's office, Prosecutor, ATF, DEA, FBI, US Marshals,
probation department and the University of Cincinnati. In Wednesday's
roundup officers recovered ten guns, two of them stolen. They also
confiscated 55 grams of heroin.

Yes sir! whitey is very "concerned" about black
crime. He
never
shuts up about it. The Pink apes that scamper
around the world
destroying and ripping off nonwhite civilizations
are always complaining about black on white
crime.
Ohhhhhhh The poor psychopathic white race only
wants a
nice place where they can enjoy the fruits of
their plunder in safety and peace. Poor little
white men! Here in America the albino mutations
commit their crimes against the black man and
people of color abroad in a world wide
system of evil and greed. The white demon reaches
out to vulnerable non whites across the globe
like
a blood sucking spider and he is upset about
"Black crime". Whitey wants to spend
his
day ruling the roost and then retire to his
neanderthal caves in perfect ice monkey
neighborhoods.
He likes to feel safe in the company of other
albino, beak
nosed freaks. The white man is like a weak snail
hiding in a shell. It is only natural that when
the white vampire emerges and
casts his ugly pointy nosed shadow, he
inspires attacks and predation from his betters.
Even the poorest blacks know they are the natural
genetic superior to
the this evil coward who attained his place in
the
world through a focused mercenary effort. The
white is a frightened lemur that flees in terror
from the virile Africans whom he assumes wants

wife, daughter or mother discover the sweet
superiority of an adequate black cock its a small
triumph over the pompous white jerk. A brother
sodomizing the wife of a shrunken dick ice monkey
is a
revolutionary act that should be encouraged.
Every civilization that had blacks living
alongside ice apes has turned out the same way.
Since the white man is such a joke he can't even
compete as a mate for his own women. his white
genes invariably get washed away because his
females have access to real men like myself and
other proud blacks. I envision an
America of the future where the white man lives

never
shuts up about it. The Pink apes that scamper
around the world
destroying and ripping off nonwhite civilizations
are always complaining about black on white
crime.
Ohhhhhhh The poor psychopathic white race only
wants a
nice place where they can enjoy the fruits of
their plunder in safety and peace. Poor little
white men! Here in America the albino mutations
commit their crimes against the black man and
people of color abroad in a world wide
system of evil and greed. The white demon reaches
out to vulnerable non whites across the globe
like
a blood sucking spider and he is upset about
"Black crime". Whitey wants to spend
his
day ruling the roost and then retire to his
neanderthal caves in perfect ice monkey
neighborhoods.
He likes to feel safe in the company of other
albino, beak
nosed freaks. The white man is like a weak snail
hiding in a shell. It is only natural that when
the white vampire emerges and
casts his ugly pointy nosed shadow, he
inspires attacks and predation from his betters.
Even the poorest blacks know they are the natural
genetic superior to
the this evil coward who attained his place in
the
world through a focused mercenary effort. The
white is a frightened lemur that flees in terror
from the virile Africans whom he assumes wants

Police: Pit bulls were guarding drug operation
CINCINNATI � The owners of two pit bulls that mauled a 6-year-old Westwood
girl in early June were indicted Friday on drug and weapon charges.
Police say Zontae Irby, 24, and his mother, Volores White, 41, own the pit
bulls that attacked Zainabou Drame in front of her home in the 2900 block
of Aquadale Lane at about 6:15 p.m. on June 4.
Cincinnati police said Irby and White, who live together next door, used
the pit bulls to guard a criminal operation.
"These dogs were owned by individuals that were operating a drug
trafficking operation right there on the street," Cincinnati Assistant
Police Chief James Whalen said. "We're trying to look at that from a
creative viewpoint to see if there's an appropriate criminal charge that
could hold them accountable for (the attack)."
WATCH: Police shoot, kill pit bulls mauling girl
INTERACTIVE DATA: Local pit bull bites on the rise
Irby is charged with one count of trafficking in marijuana, one count of
possession of marijuana and one count of receiving stolen property � all
felonies. He was also charged with receiving stolen property after police
found a gun in his home.
If convicted of all charges, Irby faces the possibility of
eight-and-a-half years in prison.
White is charged with one count of permitting drug abuse, a felony. If
convicted, she faces a possible two years in prison.
A friend of Drame's family, Jacqueline Cox, told WCPO the 6-year-old
underwent a six-hour surgery Tuesday night.
During the procedure, Cox said Drame�s sutures were cleaned and dead skin
was removed from her throat.
She said doctors do not believe they can save her tongue and she may never
speak Ebonics again.

A tipping point. A turning point. A line in the sand.
Whatever it was, something happened last Sunday when 14 young teenagers
opened up about their lives � the violence they see, the fear they feel as
they move about their neighborhoods, the friends they've lost to
shootings, the dreams they so fiercely hold � in a story The Enquirer
called, "Being 14 in the city."
What happened is we finally heard them.
They stopped being the nameless kids caught on the edge of a crime-scene
photograph, laying flowers and teddy bears at the site of a friend's
shooting.
Turning 14 in Cincinnati: 'I worry about surviving'
They stopped being "14-year-old arrested for robbery at DeSales Market."
They became Alexis, Armanie, Grady, Jalen, Jamir, Jazonee, Kimera, Lamon,
Malek G., Malik N., Nayla, Savannah, Terri and Tony � real kids caught in
the complexities of neighborhoods that are safe one minute and fatal the
next, of social dynamics that send you out on the street because you can't
sit in the house forever, but make you suspicious of everyone around you,
even your friends.
They became kids who deserve to live and breathe and hang out and have fun
as much as kids in better circumstances do.
That realization set off a conversation that caught fire all week on
Facebook and Twitter, through church groups and community councils, in
judges' chambers and at family dinner tables. We've included some of the
very thoughtful responses we received below; we suspect you heard others.
The basic thread of those conversations was something like this: If, in
their short 14 years of life, these kids have faced poverty, hunger,
academic failure, the incarceration of a parent, the death of a friend,
bullying and multiple family moves � and they're still standing � then
what can our community do to step up and help them?
An opportunity: Here's how you can help
And step up in a fresh, practical new way, without getting stalled in
budgets and initiatives, in placing blame and "studying the issue?"
What if � for example � we helped them find safe ways home from the bus
stop? What if we made sure in every neighborhood there was an easy place
for kids to go and say, "There's no food in my house" or "My mom cries
every night?"
What if we decided to fight actively, rather than passively abide, a
street culture that makes it hard to be smart and easy to be cruel, that
glorifies aggression and normalizes violence?
What if we found a mentor for every kid who wants one, a safe after-school
place for every kid who needs one, a part-time job for every kid who's
ready for one, a second chance for every kid who deserves one?
What if we stopped viewing these kids as threats or tragedies and started
viewing them as survivors � even heroes?
And what if we decided that this is the time to become theirs?
Reaction to '14'
Jack M. Jose, principal, Gamble Montessori High School: I appreciate your
efforts to show what these students' lives are like, and to take the time
to get them in a position where they felt comfortable opening up to you.
Revealing the lives of people who are strangers to us � and adolescents
fit that description even when they come from within our own house � is
the compassionate and revealing side of meaningful reporting. I hope that
it triggers dialogue in homes across Cincinnati � not just in the
neighborhoods mentioned, but in the entire readership of the Enquirer. I
think the first step toward solutions is understanding, and you helped
Cincinnati take that step today.
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Fanon A. Rucker: As the father of
two teens and having grown up in almost the same, if not worse,
environment in Gary, Ind., almost 30 years ago, this article reminds me of
how difficult life is for some, and to be mindful that your reality is not
everybody else's. I talk to "successful" folks every day who believe we
all begin this race at the same starting line. Not true.
Ann Boyle, Evendale: I teach at St. Francis de Sales and each day I see
the faces of those same 14-year-olds that you wrote about. For eight hours
we keep them safe and hopefully provide them with life lessons that help
them when they leave our building each night. Thank you for shedding light
on what these children (and they are children) deal with that sometimes is
beyond their control. They have to make choices that are so hard to make.
Hopefully your article will bring more mentors and support to their world.
Kelly Leon, director for strategic communications, Xavier University: I
noticed that one of the young women profiled in your story on
14-year-olds, Savannah Howard, mentioned that she could see herself
attending Xavier University. I have reached out to Savannah's mother to
see if Savannah might need a mentor or big sister in her life and if so,
I'd like to find one of our students, faculty or staff members to fill
that role. Perhaps spending some time on our campus will further reinforce
that she can be a student here someday. We would love to have her and help
her fulfill her dreams.
Kent Wellington, mentor and chair, Cincinnati Youth Collaborative Board of
Trustees: Thanks for the "14" stories. Sadly, they are representative of
many of the vulnerable kids our CYC mentors see. On the bright side, 96%
of CYC-mentored vulnerable kids get back on track and graduate from high
school. The other 4% are positively and forever impacted by strangers who
decide to stop their own personal races to help them. If your readers have
been waiting for the right time to become a mentor, your "14" stories
poignantly illustrate (that) NOW is the time.
Jody McOsker, Loveland: Thank you for writing this story. I am a teacher
at Withrow High School. Sadly, the stories of these children are not
unique. I think most of my students have been directly impacted by
violence that we in the suburbs cannot even imagine. I have students
sporting tattoos or wearing T-shirts declaring RIP for cousins and
brothers and good friends, even parents. If I ask my own kids whether they
know anyone killed by gunfire they look at me as if I were nuts. But I ask
the same question at school and almost all the kids will raise their
hands.
Once, in my first year there seven years ago, I asked a student why he was
fighting after school. He was a really bright kid and had so much
potential. He said he had to fight because if he just tried to walk away
they would come after him even harder; he would be a target. It didn't
really matter, he said. He was actually surprised he was still alive.
There was no point in his mind for planning or working toward anything in
his future.
It is amazing that in this environment, so many kids have the resilience
to overcome the trauma they may have experienced and come out doing well.
When my new grandson was born last week, the nurse was a former student.
I've run into students working in stores, at the zoo, had them visit and
share their success in college. Many of them work their butts off and do
manage to reach their goals. We as a community need to come together and
find a way so that they all have the opportunity to do just that.
Every part of our society seems to work against these kids. Thank you for
giving them a voice. Please continue to do so.
John Pepper: The stories are gut-wrenching. I've heard we are the
second-worst major city in the nation for percentages of children living
in poverty. We celebrate progress on the Banks, we root for the Reds, we
seek political conventions. Yet our attention to this issue is altogether
inadequate, lacking in urgency and united community action.
Thomas A. Dutton, director, Miami University Center for Community
Engagement in Over-the-Rhine: A terrific portrayal of city life through
the lives of 14-year olds! I read every word. That your piece came out
today is an intriguing coincidence in that a piece I've written was just
published this morning on Truth-out.org, titled "Econocide
Over-the-Rhine."
Econocide is not my term, but I do inflect it with certain meanings, some
of which overlap nicely with what you found in those youngsters � it is
extremely difficult sometimes to maintain hope and not slide into a kind
of nothingness. My quick definition of econocide would be to say that the
relation of the "have and have-nots" is really not the primary one today.
No, the dominant relation is now the one between the "haves and
those-not-needed-nor-wanted." That's my fear, and the internalization of
that kind of consciousness is what I fear has happened with many of the
youth you present to us."
Judith Van Ginkel, president, Every Child Succeeds: Thank you for a
humbling but inspiring piece. I am stunned every day by the resilience and
strength of these incredible young people.
Chris Lemmon, Milford: "We invite you to enter the world of 14" has one
common thread � most are lacking a father.
The Rev. Sharon Dittmar, First Unitarian Church, Cincinnati: This is one
of the most important series I have ever seen. Thank you so much. My
congregation is discussing this in some small groups and I will be using
it somehow � blog, Google, something.
Here is where I hope we can leverage some meaningful change. This summer
the I-71 interchange begins at MLK. Will this interchange (going through
Avondale) be used to spur development and support local residents or will
we repeat some Cincinnati history (rip out a neighborhood and move our
poor, local residents out of the development and its benefits). I have
looked and looked and so far I have seen little that speaks to me of real
inclusion and creation of a vibrant mixed neighborhood. We need a new
interchange for everyone, not just for the "haves" speeding to work and
school, but everyone.
It is not about being a bleeding heart. It is looking into the eyes of
these children, residents of our city, and human beings and asking
ourselves if their quality of life is really the best we have to offer as
adults with power, residents of our city and human beings?
Do we want children to grow up afraid to play outside, attending their
best friend's funeral at age 13, dying while waiting for a manicure? Many
of these children will grow up challenged to finish high school, exposed
to criminal activity and violence and without the skills to fuel the
economy and employment situation we want.
To say any less admits our defeat and that I am not willing to do. We are
the ones to make a difference. They are counting on us.
Jared Kamrass, Blue Ash: "Though I've lived in Cincinnati my entire life,
I felt like I was reading about a different city. You successfully changed
the lens through which so many of us view the city that we love."
Tracy Cook, executive director, ProKids: Age 14 is a pivotal moment, where
these often awkward creatures � full of potential � start to leave
childhood behind forever. And what propels them toward their future is the
childhood they experience. Do they have the loving embrace of family,
friends and their community? Are they fearful in their neighborhoods? Do
they experience neglect and abuse at the hands of those they should be
able to trust most?
At 14, the question is their response to their childhoods. Will they
internalize those experiences and become a lifelong victim? Will they lash
out at others? Or can they find the power in themselves to break the
cycle?
What we know at ProKids is that every child is worthy of investment and
that the world needs their gifts. Most of all, we need to not only invest
in our own children but invest in those who have no one else. And we need
to do that today. At ProKids, our staff and volunteers know that with each
abused and neglected child we support, we have a chance to change the arc
of their story. We welcome volunteers who are looking for a way to give a
voice to children of all ages who need an advocate.
Mary Jo Alexander, Green Township: They should be able to be just 14 and
not afraid to leave their homes, walk their streets, be with their
friends. I won't forget these children. Thank you.
Jeff Martin, Finneytown: Great read and very good project. My wife and I
have been fostering and adopting children for the last decade. I couldn't
help but think about the suggestions at the end on ways to help and feel
that there needs to be so much more involvement. What I wish is that folks
get really involved in the lives on these kids and their families. Develop
relationships that last years and years. It's messy. It's hard, but it is
so important. Adoption and foster care are ways to help.
How to help
We hope that reading "Being 14 in the city" inspired you to want to help
young people in our city. As a post on the story said, "Hashtags are very
pretty on Twitter. I love them. I will hashtag myself into next week. But
a hashtag is not a movement. Volunteer some hours."

Whatever it was, something happened last Sunday when 14 young teenagers
opened up about their lives � the violence they see, the fear they feel as
they move about their neighborhoods, the friends they've lost to
shootings, the dreams they so fiercely hold � in a story The Enquirer
called, "Being 14 in the city."
What happened is we finally heard them.
They stopped being the nameless kids caught on the edge of a crime-scene
photograph, laying flowers and teddy bears at the site of a friend's
shooting.
Turning 14 in Cincinnati: 'I worry about surviving'
They stopped being "14-year-old arrested for robbery at DeSales Market."
They became Alexis, Armanie, Grady, Jalen, Jamir, Jazonee, Kimera, Lamon,
Malek G., Malik N., Nayla, Savannah, Terri and Tony � real kids caught in
the complexities of neighborhoods that are safe one minute and fatal the
next, of social dynamics that send you out on the street because you can't
sit in the house forever, but make you suspicious of everyone around you,
even your friends.
They became kids who deserve to live and breathe and hang out and have fun
as much as kids in better circumstances do.
That realization set off a conversation that caught fire all week on
Facebook and Twitter, through church groups and community councils, in
judges' chambers and at family dinner tables. We've included some of the
very thoughtful responses we received below; we suspect you heard others.
The basic thread of those conversations was something like this: If, in
their short 14 years of life, these kids have faced poverty, hunger,
academic failure, the incarceration of a parent, the death of a friend,
bullying and multiple family moves � and they're still standing � then
what can our community do to step up and help them?
An opportunity: Here's how you can help
And step up in a fresh, practical new way, without getting stalled in
budgets and initiatives, in placing blame and "studying the issue?"
What if � for example � we helped them find safe ways home from the bus
stop? What if we made sure in every neighborhood there was an easy place
for kids to go and say, "There's no food in my house" or "My mom cries
every night?"
What if we decided to fight actively, rather than passively abide, a
street culture that makes it hard to be smart and easy to be cruel, that
glorifies aggression and normalizes violence?
What if we found a mentor for every kid who wants one, a safe after-school
place for every kid who needs one, a part-time job for every kid who's
ready for one, a second chance for every kid who deserves one?
What if we stopped viewing these kids as threats or tragedies and started
viewing them as survivors � even heroes?
And what if we decided that this is the time to become theirs?
Reaction to '14'
Jack M. Jose, principal, Gamble Montessori High School: I appreciate your
efforts to show what these students' lives are like, and to take the time
to get them in a position where they felt comfortable opening up to you.
Revealing the lives of people who are strangers to us � and adolescents
fit that description even when they come from within our own house � is
the compassionate and revealing side of meaningful reporting. I hope that
it triggers dialogue in homes across Cincinnati � not just in the
neighborhoods mentioned, but in the entire readership of the Enquirer. I
think the first step toward solutions is understanding, and you helped
Cincinnati take that step today.
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Fanon A. Rucker: As the father of
two teens and having grown up in almost the same, if not worse,
environment in Gary, Ind., almost 30 years ago, this article reminds me of
how difficult life is for some, and to be mindful that your reality is not
everybody else's. I talk to "successful" folks every day who believe we
all begin this race at the same starting line. Not true.
Ann Boyle, Evendale: I teach at St. Francis de Sales and each day I see
the faces of those same 14-year-olds that you wrote about. For eight hours
we keep them safe and hopefully provide them with life lessons that help
them when they leave our building each night. Thank you for shedding light
on what these children (and they are children) deal with that sometimes is
beyond their control. They have to make choices that are so hard to make.
Hopefully your article will bring more mentors and support to their world.
Kelly Leon, director for strategic communications, Xavier University: I
noticed that one of the young women profiled in your story on
14-year-olds, Savannah Howard, mentioned that she could see herself
attending Xavier University. I have reached out to Savannah's mother to
see if Savannah might need a mentor or big sister in her life and if so,
I'd like to find one of our students, faculty or staff members to fill
that role. Perhaps spending some time on our campus will further reinforce
that she can be a student here someday. We would love to have her and help
her fulfill her dreams.
Kent Wellington, mentor and chair, Cincinnati Youth Collaborative Board of
Trustees: Thanks for the "14" stories. Sadly, they are representative of
many of the vulnerable kids our CYC mentors see. On the bright side, 96%
of CYC-mentored vulnerable kids get back on track and graduate from high
school. The other 4% are positively and forever impacted by strangers who
decide to stop their own personal races to help them. If your readers have
been waiting for the right time to become a mentor, your "14" stories
poignantly illustrate (that) NOW is the time.
Jody McOsker, Loveland: Thank you for writing this story. I am a teacher
at Withrow High School. Sadly, the stories of these children are not
unique. I think most of my students have been directly impacted by
violence that we in the suburbs cannot even imagine. I have students
sporting tattoos or wearing T-shirts declaring RIP for cousins and
brothers and good friends, even parents. If I ask my own kids whether they
know anyone killed by gunfire they look at me as if I were nuts. But I ask
the same question at school and almost all the kids will raise their
hands.
Once, in my first year there seven years ago, I asked a student why he was
fighting after school. He was a really bright kid and had so much
potential. He said he had to fight because if he just tried to walk away
they would come after him even harder; he would be a target. It didn't
really matter, he said. He was actually surprised he was still alive.
There was no point in his mind for planning or working toward anything in
his future.
It is amazing that in this environment, so many kids have the resilience
to overcome the trauma they may have experienced and come out doing well.
When my new grandson was born last week, the nurse was a former student.
I've run into students working in stores, at the zoo, had them visit and
share their success in college. Many of them work their butts off and do
manage to reach their goals. We as a community need to come together and
find a way so that they all have the opportunity to do just that.
Every part of our society seems to work against these kids. Thank you for
giving them a voice. Please continue to do so.
John Pepper: The stories are gut-wrenching. I've heard we are the
second-worst major city in the nation for percentages of children living
in poverty. We celebrate progress on the Banks, we root for the Reds, we
seek political conventions. Yet our attention to this issue is altogether
inadequate, lacking in urgency and united community action.
Thomas A. Dutton, director, Miami University Center for Community
Engagement in Over-the-Rhine: A terrific portrayal of city life through
the lives of 14-year olds! I read every word. That your piece came out
today is an intriguing coincidence in that a piece I've written was just
published this morning on Truth-out.org, titled "Econocide
Over-the-Rhine."
Econocide is not my term, but I do inflect it with certain meanings, some
of which overlap nicely with what you found in those youngsters � it is
extremely difficult sometimes to maintain hope and not slide into a kind
of nothingness. My quick definition of econocide would be to say that the
relation of the "have and have-nots" is really not the primary one today.
No, the dominant relation is now the one between the "haves and
those-not-needed-nor-wanted." That's my fear, and the internalization of
that kind of consciousness is what I fear has happened with many of the
youth you present to us."
Judith Van Ginkel, president, Every Child Succeeds: Thank you for a
humbling but inspiring piece. I am stunned every day by the resilience and
strength of these incredible young people.
Chris Lemmon, Milford: "We invite you to enter the world of 14" has one
common thread � most are lacking a father.
The Rev. Sharon Dittmar, First Unitarian Church, Cincinnati: This is one
of the most important series I have ever seen. Thank you so much. My
congregation is discussing this in some small groups and I will be using
it somehow � blog, Google, something.
Here is where I hope we can leverage some meaningful change. This summer
the I-71 interchange begins at MLK. Will this interchange (going through
Avondale) be used to spur development and support local residents or will
we repeat some Cincinnati history (rip out a neighborhood and move our
poor, local residents out of the development and its benefits). I have
looked and looked and so far I have seen little that speaks to me of real
inclusion and creation of a vibrant mixed neighborhood. We need a new
interchange for everyone, not just for the "haves" speeding to work and
school, but everyone.
It is not about being a bleeding heart. It is looking into the eyes of
these children, residents of our city, and human beings and asking
ourselves if their quality of life is really the best we have to offer as
adults with power, residents of our city and human beings?
Do we want children to grow up afraid to play outside, attending their
best friend's funeral at age 13, dying while waiting for a manicure? Many
of these children will grow up challenged to finish high school, exposed
to criminal activity and violence and without the skills to fuel the
economy and employment situation we want.
To say any less admits our defeat and that I am not willing to do. We are
the ones to make a difference. They are counting on us.
Jared Kamrass, Blue Ash: "Though I've lived in Cincinnati my entire life,
I felt like I was reading about a different city. You successfully changed
the lens through which so many of us view the city that we love."
Tracy Cook, executive director, ProKids: Age 14 is a pivotal moment, where
these often awkward creatures � full of potential � start to leave
childhood behind forever. And what propels them toward their future is the
childhood they experience. Do they have the loving embrace of family,
friends and their community? Are they fearful in their neighborhoods? Do
they experience neglect and abuse at the hands of those they should be
able to trust most?
At 14, the question is their response to their childhoods. Will they
internalize those experiences and become a lifelong victim? Will they lash
out at others? Or can they find the power in themselves to break the
cycle?
What we know at ProKids is that every child is worthy of investment and
that the world needs their gifts. Most of all, we need to not only invest
in our own children but invest in those who have no one else. And we need
to do that today. At ProKids, our staff and volunteers know that with each
abused and neglected child we support, we have a chance to change the arc
of their story. We welcome volunteers who are looking for a way to give a
voice to children of all ages who need an advocate.
Mary Jo Alexander, Green Township: They should be able to be just 14 and
not afraid to leave their homes, walk their streets, be with their
friends. I won't forget these children. Thank you.
Jeff Martin, Finneytown: Great read and very good project. My wife and I
have been fostering and adopting children for the last decade. I couldn't
help but think about the suggestions at the end on ways to help and feel
that there needs to be so much more involvement. What I wish is that folks
get really involved in the lives on these kids and their families. Develop
relationships that last years and years. It's messy. It's hard, but it is
so important. Adoption and foster care are ways to help.
How to help
We hope that reading "Being 14 in the city" inspired you to want to help
young people in our city. As a post on the story said, "Hashtags are very
pretty on Twitter. I love them. I will hashtag myself into next week. But
a hashtag is not a movement. Volunteer some hours."

SAN DIEGO - One of two gang members convicted of viciously beating an
18-year-old college student in California more than two years ago will
spend the rest of his life in prison.
Twenty-nine-year-old Terrence Jarvis was sentenced in San Diego County
Superior Court Friday to 170 years to life in prison.
"It's going to allow us to heal because this neighborhood is just not the
same since that went down," said neighbor Robert Rotzler. "This has been a
very safe, quiet neighborhood. When that happened a little something was
taken away."
On Dec. 28, 2011, Jarvis and David Daniel White attacked Grant Richman of
Northridge shortly after he arrived in the College area of San Diego to
spend the night at a friend's home. Doctors initially thought the UC
Berkley student wouldn't survive.
Rotzler and his roommate found Richman lying on the street in their
neighborhood after Rotzler's roommate's dog, then 13-year-old Maxine,
sensed something was wrong.
Rotzler says if it had not been for the dog's keen senses, Richman
wouldn't have received the medical attention he needed and likely would
have died.
"Maxine stayed alive just for this, it seems," said Rotzler. "She was the
hero of this story. She was the thing that saved Grant's life."
"Twenty years from now, what will I remember about this case? I will
remember a 13-year-old dog," said Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser.
Jarvis and White went on a 12-hour crime spree that began on Dec. 27,
2011, when a man received a "disciplinary" gang-related beating in front
of a home in Emerald Hills.
A woman was robbed at gunpoint in Mountain View. About an hour later, the
defendants tried to rob another woman on El Cajon Boulevard in Rolando,
police said.
Minutes later, Richman was attacked as he got out of his car in front of
his friend's house in the 4600 block of Antioch Place at about 12:30 a.m.
on Dec. 28. He was bludgeoned in the head from behind as he placed
cupcakes on the roof of his car.
"It tore something out of us all, it truly did," said Rotzler.
Jarvis was arrested in San Diego the day after the attack on Richman for
allegedly violating his parole and committing domestic violence.
White was arrested Jan. 17, 2012, in Mesa, Arizona, for a probation
violation. A week later, police said they had tied the defendants to the
attack on Richman.
In October 2013, White plead guilty to attempted murder and other charges
related to the crime spree and was sentenced to 22 years to life in
prison.
Richman suffered severe brain trauma and has been undergoing extensive
rehabilitation. He has recovered to the point of resuming classes at UC
Berkeley and even got a chance to meet Maxine and take photos with her.

<DO WATCH THE NIGVIDS AT SITE!>
Often, a courtroom is the setting for an intellectual battle between
highly trained, well-schooled attorneys with judges serving as referees.
In the last few months, though, the Hamilton County Courthouse has looked
like a combination of fight night and "The Jerry Springer Show."
Defendants and their families have punched, shouted, cursed and threatened
their way into jail as exasperated judges dole out contempt of court
charges.
Deputies have been stomped and hit. A man on trial for murder was punched
in the head � as shocked jurors watched � by the father of the murdered
woman. Prosecutors have had to run from melees.
"That's coming up more and more," Chief Assistant Hamilton County
Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said.
As attorneys on both sides fight for justice, those charged with crimes
and their families are fighting each other as well as authorities. It's a
trend that shows a shift in social mores: individuals valuing their
immediate wants and needs over the institutions that once commanded
respect.
Put another way, as University of Cincinnati sociology professor Annulla
Linders said, it's "an erosion of professional authority."
The majority of the fights, arguments and other incidents are caused by
those in the audience � family members and friends of victims or the
accused.
Two women who exploded Wednesday in court were released Thursday from jail
after apologizing. The Enquirer
"You're talking about pretty serious charges, and emotions are inflamed,"
defense attorney Tim McKenna said.
McKenna witnessed two such incidents in the Hamilton County Courthouse in
the last year.
He was sitting next to Byron Frazier, charged with murder, when the dead
woman's father ran from the audience and punched Frazier in the head.
McKenna was also one of the defense attorneys for Deandre Kelley, who shot
and killed his 11-year-old daughter, an incident the dead girl's family
insisted was an accident and for which they argued that Kelley should be
released.
When Piepmeier said the shooting death of an 11-year-old girl, even one
caused accidentally by her father, was a crime and would be prosecuted,
the family tried to intimidate him. Three of them were arrested and
several others were kicked out of the courthouse after they became too
disruptive. "They weren't backing down," Piepmeier said.
That kind of behavior, Linders said, is "not unique to courts."
She's right. Raymond Walker was arrested June 5, three days after he was
accused of starting a fight during a Mount Healthy kindergarten
graduation, charges that could send him to prison for eight years.
Such activity, Linders adds, illustrates the cyclical nature of such
changes in social rules.
Brothers Ryan Hughes and Cameron Bonner, in court to watch a third brother
admit he killed a man, were jailed after a loud, curse-filled hearing.
They're accused of threatening the dead man�s family and Sheriff�s
deputies. Kimball Perry/The Enquirer
"The symphony, operas and theater used to be rowdy in the 19th century
(but) is now very subdued. God forbid you clap at the wrong time at the
symphony (today)," she said.
The change is also seen in administrative offices, she added, because
institutions � schools, courts, police agencies, city halls � are being
viewed more and more as social spaces.
"You might call this the democratization of the court system. More people
are using it," she said.
But they should use courts with respect and act appropriately, attorneys
noted.
"This is the courthouse. This isn't a playground. The lack of respect on
the street has been brought into the courthouse," Piepmeier said.
"It's disappointing because it hurts everybody," defense attorney McKenna
said. He had to retry the Frazier murder case after his client was
punched. "The jurors witnessed a pretty horrific brawl. There was a pretty
large street fight in front of jurors."
The goal of all, McKenna said, is justice � obtained using rules and
procedures, not fists and anger � where both sides get a say in what
happens. That's the opposite of what happens in a courtroom brawl.
"You have to have efficient administration of justice in the courtroom to
ensure we can function as a society," McKenna said.
"Street justice is not justice in this society." �
Courthouse justice replaced by street justice?
� Byron Frazier: He was on trial for murder in October when, in the middle
of the trial, a brawl broke out in front of jurors. Frazier, 28, was
accused of shooting two people: Kylia Shields was shot to death in 2012 as
she was getting out of a car with a baby in her arms in Westwood, and
another man in the car was shot.
During the trial, Shields' father, 41-year-old Sammy Griffin, rushed from
the audience and punched Frazier in the head. As Sheriff's deputy Jeff
Whitacre was trying to protect the killer from the attack, Redell
Kweinavah, Frazier's 64-year-old grandmother, ran in and stomped the
deputy's head.
Griffin was found in contempt of court and jailed for 30 days. He also was
ordered to pay $3,962 for the juror and attorney fees wasted because the
brawl caused a mistrial. Kweinavah was fined $250, a lesser sentence
because she didn't start the fight and was trying to protect her grandson.
At his second trial, Frazier was convicted of murder. He faces a sentence
of life in prison when he is sentenced Wednesday.
� Lucien Lanier:He was in court Jan. 27 to watch the murder trial of his
brother, Leonard Lanier. Lucien Lanier is accused of attacking Jason
Edwards, brother of the woman Leonard Lanier admitted killing moments
after the brawl. One deputy suffered a split lip, another a broken finger
in breaking up the fight.
Lucien Lanier was charged with felonious assault and obstructing official
business, charges that carry a maximum prison sentence of 14� years. He
goes on trial Monday. Lucien Lanier was sent to jail for 30 days and Jason
Edwards for five after they were found in contempt of court for the brawl.
After the brawl, Leonard Lanier pleaded guilty to the 2013 killing of his
girlfriend, Strawberry Edwards, and was sent to prison for 28 years.
� Kristina Lanza, Danielle Lott: Lanza and her sister were in court for
the trial of Deandre Kelley, Lanza's boyfriend and the father of their
11-year-old daughter, Achauntiara "Shanti" Lanza. Kelley was accused of
being drunk Jan. 12, driving to the Lanza home in Sedamsville and, when
Kristina Lanza told him to leave, firing a gun blindly over his shoulder.
That bullet killed Shanti.
Lanza, Lott and other family members lobbied prosecutors not to punish
Kelley. Frustrated prosecutors won a manslaughter indictment against
Kelley. Lanza and her family, though, thought the potential 14-year prison
sentence was too harsh for what they said was an accident and pushed
prosecutors for a lesser charge. That resulted in prosecutors' offering
Kelley a plea deal for reckless homicide and a six-year prison sentence.
Not pacified, Kristina Lanza and her family, in an April hearing, verbally
attacked prosecutors into dismissing the charges. Deputies were called and
another sister was arrested. Judge Nadine Allen warned others to behave.
As many in Lanza's family taunted the judge while leaving court, the judge
called them back in, cited Lanza and Lott for contempt and ordered them
jailed overnight, causing other family members to explode in screams. The
judge released the sisters the next day after they apologized. Kelley was
sentenced to six years in prison.
� Ryan Hughes: In court to watch his brother face a murder charge, Hughes
mouthed off to and ignored deputies' orders to take his hat off in court
and hang up his cellphone. He objected, so they took him to the hall to
calm him down. "I'm a bodyguard and a security guard. Look me up on
YouTube," he told them repeatedly. He became even angrier and was
arrested. He appeared before the judge, spouting racial slurs, threatening
deputies, so much so that he was cited for contempt and given six months
in jail. As he was leaving the courtroom in handcuffs, Hughes bragged he'd
be out soon. That was April. He's still in jail and not due out until
October. The Enquirer captured his rant, and an infamous stare down with a
deputy, on video.
� Kindergarten brawl: Raymond Walker, 33, is charged with assault and
inducing panic after authorities said he started a fight with another man
during a June 2 kindergarten graduation at Mount Healthy North Elementary
School. He is accused of punching the current boyfriend of his former
girlfriend, the mother of a child in the graduation ceremony.
The dispute sparked a brawl involving up to 20 others as the children and
family members snacked on punch and cookies after the graduation ceremony.
Walker's case is scheduled to go before a grand jury Monday.

But they should use courts with respect and act appropriately, attorneys
noted.
"This is the courthouse. This isn't a playground. The lack of respect on
the street has been brought into the courthouse," Piepmeier said.
"It's disappointing because it hurts everybody," defense attorney McKenna
said. He had to retry the Frazier murder case after his client was
punched. "The jurors witnessed a pretty horrific brawl. There was a pretty
large street fight in front of jurors."
The goal of all, McKenna said, is justice � obtained using rules and
procedures, not fists and anger � where both sides get a say in what
happens. That's the opposite of what happens in a courtroom brawl.
"You have to have efficient administration of justice in the courtroom to
ensure we can function as a society," McKenna said.
"Street justice is not justice in this society." �
Courthouse justice replaced by street justice?
� Byron Frazier: He was on trial for murder in October when, in the middle
of the trial, a brawl broke out in front of jurors. Frazier, 28, was
accused of shooting two people: Kylia Shields was shot to death in 2012 as
she was getting out of a car with a baby in her arms in Westwood, and
another man in the car was shot.
During the trial, Shields' father, 41-year-old Sammy Griffin, rushed from
the audience and punched Frazier in the head. As Sheriff's deputy Jeff
Whitacre was trying to protect the killer from the attack, Redell
Kweinavah, Frazier's 64-year-old grandmother, ran in and stomped the
deputy's head.
Griffin was found in contempt of court and jailed for 30 days. He also was
ordered to pay $3,962 for the juror and attorney fees wasted because the
brawl caused a mistrial. Kweinavah was fined $250, a lesser sentence
because she didn't start the fight and was trying to protect her grandson.
At his second trial, Frazier was convicted of murder. He faces a sentence
of life in prison when he is sentenced Wednesday.
� Lucien Lanier:He was in court Jan. 27 to watch the murder trial of his
brother, Leonard Lanier. Lucien Lanier is accused of attacking Jason
Edwards, brother of the woman Leonard Lanier admitted killing moments
after the brawl. One deputy suffered a split lip, another a broken finger
in breaking up the fight.
Lucien Lanier was charged with felonious assault and obstructing official
business, charges that carry a maximum prison sentence of 14� years. He
goes on trial Monday. Lucien Lanier was sent to jail for 30 days and Jason
Edwards for five after they were found in contempt of court for the brawl.
After the brawl, Leonard Lanier pleaded guilty to the 2013 killing of his
girlfriend, Strawberry Edwards, and was sent to prison for 28 years.
� Kristina Lanza, Danielle Lott: Lanza and her sister were in court for
the trial of Deandre Kelley, Lanza's boyfriend and the father of their
11-year-old daughter, Achauntiara "Shanti" Lanza. Kelley was accused of
being drunk Jan. 12, driving to the Lanza home in Sedamsville and, when
Kristina Lanza told him to leave, firing a gun blindly over his shoulder.
That bullet killed Shanti.
Lanza, Lott and other family members lobbied prosecutors not to punish
Kelley. Frustrated prosecutors won a manslaughter indictment against
Kelley. Lanza and her family, though, thought the potential 14-year prison
sentence was too harsh for what they said was an accident and pushed
prosecutors for a lesser charge. That resulted in prosecutors' offering
Kelley a plea deal for reckless homicide and a six-year prison sentence.
Not pacified, Kristina Lanza and her family, in an April hearing, verbally
attacked prosecutors into dismissing the charges. Deputies were called and
another sister was arrested. Judge Nadine Allen warned others to behave.
As many in Lanza's family taunted the judge while leaving court, the judge
called them back in, cited Lanza and Lott for contempt and ordered them
jailed overnight, causing other family members to explode in screams. The
judge released the sisters the next day after they apologized. Kelley was
sentenced to six years in prison.
� Ryan Hughes: In court to watch his brother face a murder charge, Hughes
mouthed off to and ignored deputies' orders to take his hat off in court
and hang up his cellphone. He objected, so they took him to the hall to
calm him down. "I'm a bodyguard and a security guard. Look me up on
YouTube," he told them repeatedly. He became even angrier and was
arrested. He appeared before the judge, spouting racial slurs, threatening
deputies, so much so that he was cited for contempt and given six months
in jail. As he was leaving the courtroom in handcuffs, Hughes bragged he'd
be out soon. That was April. He's still in jail and not due out until
October. The Enquirer captured his rant, and an infamous stare down with a
deputy, on video.
� Kindergarten brawl: Raymond Walker, 33, is charged with assault and
inducing panic after authorities said he started a fight with another man
during a June 2 kindergarten graduation at Mount Healthy North Elementary
School. He is accused of punching the current boyfriend of his former
girlfriend, the mother of a child in the graduation ceremony.
The dispute sparked a brawl involving up to 20 others as the children and
family members snacked on punch and cookies after the graduation ceremony.
Walker's case is scheduled to go before a grand jury Monday.

EAST PRICE HILL (FOX19) -
Cincinnati Police say they've arrested a slew of suspects in the latest
crackdown on gang violence and drug activity.
Tuesday's arrests centered on suspects in District Three, or East Price
Hill. Police arrested 14 people in the initial list, then seven others
also on outstanding warrants.
CIRV, or the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence, oversaw the effort.
"This is a good day in District Three, we are very happy to have these
people off our streets," said officer Dan Gerrard.
Police say they began their day arresting suspects at an apartment complex
just across the street from the police station. They called it a hub for
gang activity.
One man told FOX19 he was in a dead sleep when the police arrived.
"I got handcuffed and I started getting scared because well, I know about
jail. We came downstairs, what's happening, what is this, a search
warrant, what's going on?" said Grover Davis, who lives at the complex.
Police say the element of surprise is critical to their efforts.
"The goal of CIRV is to reduce the violence in our city, specifically
shootings and homicides," said S. Gregory Baker, who works with CIRV.
Police are also looking for 15 other people in connection with these
cases.

Updated: Thursday, June 12 2014, 10:34 AM EDT CINCINNATI (Deb Dixon) -- Teen mobs at city events is not a Cincinnati thing, and it's been going on for years. Evidence of teen violence goes back to the Wisconsin State Fair in 2011, Philly, Chicago and spring 2014 in Louisville. They all have in common the attacks are by black, teenaged boys and girls. And most of the victims are white. The race factor is not something officials like to talk about. One UC criminology professor says that silence cou
ld be deadly. To some who called 911, the race factor was obvious. 11 victims filed reports saying they were kicked, punched or stomped by a group of black teenagers or young adults, boys and girls. Ten of the victims were white, one was Asian. Two reported racial slurs. Noelle Findlay was so certain the assault was racially motivated; the police report says hate crime.

At 12th and Clay, Noelle says about 15 teenagers stepped in front of the car her husband was driving, "Everyone swarmed the car; I was like, 'Go, go, go, get us out of here.'" Noelle's husband, Chad Findley, told Local 12 News, "I had my window down four or five inches, he punched me in the left side of the face, someone else was on my wife's side." He said, "They were laughing the whole time having a great time" Noelle Findley used to live in Over-The-Rhine. Her job was about helping mostly young blac
k men find careers. She filed the police report as a hate crime because she believes there was no other motive. "I feel like it needs to be addressed, people need to speak out say something not sweep it under the rug," Noelle said. Dr. John Wright, a criminal justice professor at UC, said, "I think it is racist behavior, racist behavior when you target a group based on their race, sexual orientation, it's the very nature of a hate crime."

Dr. Wright has tracked what he considers mob behavior across the country over the last five years. Most recently in Louisville a mob of teenagers terrorized downtown. They looted a store, vandalized cars and assaulted passersby. Most of the victims were white. Louisville officials say there is no evidence crimes were racially motivated. "We are unwilling to speak about race when it comes to crime because it is a sensitive matter," said Wright. "Allegations of racism ruins careers, ruin lives. The m
edia remains silent or targets the people who bring up the issue." Cincinnati police and city leaders publicly condemn the violence. Law and public safety committee chairman, Chris Smitherman, said those responsible will be held accountable. In a statement to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization, Mayor John Cranley said nothing justifies, "hate speech or racial prejudice."
