This is no joke. We have a high-risk youth program where I work and some of these kids have witnessed things that no child should have to see. They allude to things that have happened but they would NEVER go to the police over anything that happens outside of their own "families." And, if something happens within their "families" they take care of it themselves.

Very true. I know that people think "What? Why don't they just tell someone!?" but that's honestly not all to the story. Yes it seems outlandish that one would keep this kind of thing quiet, but that is how they have grown up.
I totally understand where you are coming from, BabyPink. I, due to my parents, live in a better part of Chicago where I could walk down the block and talk to my alderman if I wanted to. But if I go visit my friends in Hyde Park (outside of U of Chicago), I keep walking if I see something up. Sorry, but I am not putting myself at risk. Risk here being greater than just getting mugged.

He was arrested on a parole violation. Basically he was a person of interest and they found a way to keep him in jail until they found something to keep him in jail on.

Although stuff can happen anywhere, I wouldn't classify Hyde Park as a "rough" area. Hyde Park has pockets, meaning there are little areas where you might want to be a bit more careful. On a side note, stuff has really gotten out of hand in this city, especially in Englewood in the past 3 years.

Hyde Park isn't the worst area, but there are trouble spots. Plus, once you head out of the U of C area, it gets progressively worse.
And yes, the city has gotten worse. It makes me sad to see my city slowly destroying parts of itself.
