rather, they consider them random acts of violence in an inner city plagued by drugs and crime.onths pass with no new cases of missing or murdered children reported. then on march 4th, 1980, angel lenair's mother becomes frantic when her 12-year-old daughter doesn't come home from school on time. as night falls, she begins a desperate search to find her. >> it was very cold that night. my friends of mine, we drove, we drove, we walked, we strolled. i went forth and back, forth and back, and it was awful. and i just cried and pleaded, and i just said, god, how could this happen? >> six days later, angel's body is discovered bound, gagged, and strangled. >> who found her was some guys that was standing at the bus stop. and they said, they just happened to look down and that's when they seen her body leaned up, propped up against the tree. not laying down but propped up, sitting up against the tree. >> venus taylor says she will never erase the memory of seeing her daughter's body at the morgue that evening. >> and there she was on the table. i just grabbed her and started crying.

guest: the main problem, of course, is the condition of kids in inner cities in america. and i don't blame teachers for that. that is they are getting a lot of kids who do not have parental interest, parental involvement, a lot of kids from single parent homes. look, the singlemost important fact for the american future is 40 percent of our kids are born out of wedlock. this makes a difference in life, this makes a difference in society. so a lot of the kids that the teachers and schools have to work with come to them less than ready for school, and what can they count on after school? some kids find, other kids know, it's not so good. so understand that the material they're getting isn't all potential rhodes scholars, we understand that. nevertheless we expect our teachers to do their best and do better than they're doing and here's the remarkable thing. there are schools that take such children rand do very well by them, teach them, improve them, they learn to read and write and count and think. the educational research now is clear, and i think this is the heart of the

this is the inner city of amsterdam, and the rest of the city are the suburbs. the whole city, there are 2.2 million people, but the real city of amsterdam, there are less than 800,000, which i think is about the same as san francisco. i will also pass around a few sheets. the important thing is that amsterdam is one of the five major economic central's -- economic centers in europe, and we want to stay that way, and we are an attractive city for international business, like the american and asian companies that like to have business in amsterdam. it is a real nice place to stay. experts like to live in amsterdam, and is accessible from all parts of the world. it is also very important case of cycling. what irony said, 2.2 million and happens, but the last line may be the most important, about 120 kilometers per day traffic jams. that is qu7?) a lot. this distance is not more than 25k. we have a real problem. that is not good for business. for us, it is active transport, really important as a solution for being accessible. ok, does it work? yes. this is the city

and right i have one eye of the works in the detroit in or in the inner city schools in detroit you live you know you're going higher rate tom you're worth it but why won't you allow innovations like lead in the catholic church government letting could be riveted given the respect that you're on here organization we're doing everything we can there be those and home there always just we shouldn't be using our money to support a religious home they're making forty two percent more than their public than their private school counterparts yes let me just let's have that right so if you want to have a race to the bottom you know you want you want you on down the workers to make it last in america all of them to compete exactly i want to make money to compete i also want people at the bottom i want both of them in a service where they're succeeding where they're taking challenges and they're overcoming those differences to be able to participate we're so concerned about somebody might learn about jesus and mary they would rather them not ever graduate being able to read the diploma that they'

i grew up in the inner city. know a lot of the black kids my schoolmates, they love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. so there is a lot of black racists around. i am sick of the self-hating white people. this principal is probably whiter than prince harry's butt. get over it. >> it is not white, by the way. >> i think the name was giew -- giew tear res. >> if i would have read the story i would have known. that's my fault for cruising through this show. usually i am on a narcotic. jonathon, you are a filthy foreigner. does this pb and j bashing appeal to your job stealing sensibility? >> yes. peanut butter and overtly racist. we didn't have it growing up in britain in the 1800's. so therefore it is overtly anti-british and i don't like it. but it all goes back to oregon. they are so organic. these portland restaurants that want to sort everything locally. what is more racist than that? they won't buy their chickens from columbia or mexico. that's racist. >> shopping local is racist. >> exactly. >> did you have

maybe finally, in this country, because violence has seeped out of inner city, we'll begin to addressg it as an epidemic. and that means that we're not only going to treat littleton, colorado, but we're also going to treat compton, california, with the same energy in identifying the problems there and creating a community, and giving the kids alternatives to violent behavior and making them understand that being-- that violence is not an ok way of life. and i think that's where the future is. when the medical community begins to deal with an epidemic, it looks for ways to treat those who have been affected and for ways to prevent the disease from spreading. astrid heger: there's two groups of children that we certainly see here and that we're treating. one group are the children who are direct victims of an assault against them, then tr's anothebig grou of kth we're seeing he in thiprogram and that is e childr that are exposed to violence. and we are-- regardless of whether they've ever been hit, whatever, we are engaged in a preventive program with them, immediately when they've been

[cheers and applause] ask not -- folks from the very beginning, mitt romney has articulated a positive forward-looking vision of what he wouldn't have done in the past.

inner city kids may do very well on things like push-ups, sit-ups and less well in running and aerobicof activities. and the investigators discovered that the reason that that had happened was because in this particular study which had been done in a large city that coaches didn't let the kids during p.e., that they had, they didn't let them go out on the playground because the playground was dangerous. p.e. was inside and so the activities that they did was a lot of calisthenics, sit-ups, push-ups, things like that. catherine parrish: i hear lots of stories when i see these kids for check-ups, and many of them are overweight, about how, "i'd like to play a sport but my school doesn't have that." "i can't get to the program. it's on the other side of town." "it's not safe to ride a bike in my neighborhood." "i can't... my bike got stolen. i haven't been able to ride one since that."
