Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Children and Shadows
Police officers see children at crime scenes all the time — either as victims or witnesses. A new program in Maryland, called “Handle With Care” directs law enforcement to quickly inform children’s schools that their students have been on the front lines of violence, and to look out for behavior changes or indications that counseling or other support may be necessary.
The program, piloted in West Virginia in 2013, targeted children coping with the drug addiction crisis there, and was adopted by Washington County, Maryland last year.
Last week, the Maryland Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention announced that “Handle With Care” will expand to more counties. It’s expected to begin this school year in Anne Arundel, Charles, Carroll and Harford Counties, among others.
