One of the sections of Jacksonville’s population is getting their time at the microphone this week.

Controversy runs rampant when talking about this city’s unaccompanied youth. Between those trying to serve in a system binding their attempts to the section of this demographic resorting to criminal acts, PR and spin is for the most part has always been sided: for the City, for the service providers, or the businesses trying to attract dollars.

And it’s about time another version got it’s time.

While the air may be light, the fact is teens aging out of services is on the top of Florida crimes. Kids selling their bodies for a meal, out of convenience for a place to sleep at night, for the drugs to escape the nightmare cycle they can’t get out of and nobody’s there to help.

Donations of coffee are much appreciated and will benefit the St. John’s Cathedral coffee service to the homeless.
