Chicago doctors from Lurie's Children Hospital and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin call for action in wake of this month's mass shootings at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and at a Buffalo, New York grocery store.
It was an early Saturday evening when the radio alarm system went off, alerting Dr. Samaa Kemal, a pediatric emergency medicine fellow at Lurie Children’s Hospital, that an ambulance had called en route to the hospital.
Indya Pinkard, a youth advocate from the South Side, said there is a mental health crisis in the country.“Growing up in the South Side, it’s been many times that I’ve had this experience . Instead of curfews for the young people, it would be better to have after-school programming available later, until midnight,” she said, referring to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s establishment of a 10 p.m. curfew for minors following Holliday’s death.
“Children today are suffering a trauma that can be treated to avoid gun violence, as well as to treat people who have been victims of gun violence,” she said. “People who are survivors of gun violence tend to suffer it more times in their lives.”
