Message could read = DHS (finds) Oregon DSH CP LINKS TO DEMSs
Oregon Department of Human Services
- Children & Youth Welfare
- Employment Services
- SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
- Wildfire Information and Resources
PART 1)
Who are these "angry youth" involved with current unrest?
Where are the parents? Who raised these kids?
Why do they look like "zombies / brain dead / just looking at their phones"?
Why aren't local officials trying to stop it / asking for help?
Could part of the answer be tied to PART 2?

PART 1 + PART 2 = SAVE THE CHILDREN ???
- What if protestors not just "pawns, braindead, zombies, anarchists, spoiled kids"
- Some may be victims - surviving years of systematic & covered up abuse?
- Still angry and controlled by a false message of hopelessness/division.
OUR WEAKEST ARE OVERLOOKED/MOST VULNERABLE?
- same thing happening with the nursing homes?
- same thing happening with criminal justice / inner cities?
- same thing with immigration/exploited/living in fear?
