Gun violence is ever-present in this country. From Uvalde, Texas, to Nashville to right here in Charlotte, children are often victims.
Shooting drills in schools are now commonplace. Wth a lack of action by lawmakers, gun violence remains prevalent. What kind of impact does that have on our youth? Are they becoming desensitized? And how should parents be communicating with kids about this issue? We discuss these topics with the editor of The Washington Post's “On Parenting” newsletter.
We also look at gun policies in North Carolina and across the country.
That and more next time on Charlotte Talks.
GUESTS:
Amy Joyce, writer and editor for the “On Parenting” section of the Washington Post
