Having a child walk home alone through the city streets when it is 90 plus degrees outside, anywhere in the world can have some gray areas. The situation can be amplified as dangerous when the parent or legal guardian does not expect when the child will be walking, or was not all that prepared for the advent.
In Baltimore City, violent crime is at rates, no child or minor aged individual, should be walking beyond sight of the school or their house.
Straightforwardly put, there are too many ranges of possibilities of things that could go wrong. Frm affected by the heat, to being in the wrong place at wrong time when violence beaks out, or a simple abduction attempt.
Despite the financial challenges Baltiore City has had over the past year, such as the city website shutdown, and other references, schools are set to receive students.
There are more schols that close early due to the heat, than there are schools at all in certain regions.
A little more upward progress is needed to finish the whole circle.
Failing AC units should not be the cause to have a child walking home at 90 to 105 degrees, in high crime areas.
Crime needs to be reduced.
AC units need to be at acceptable par.
Those are the requests.
