Description
The focus of the book is on the innocence of the child:
There is an adverse, rebel, gangster culture in America that's swallowing up INNOCENT KIDS without their CONSCIOUS CONSENT OR AWARENESS. No child comes into the world cursing, being disrespectful or violent, these are all learned behaviors. If the first language that a child hears is profanity then that becomes the child's reality. To the child it's the way the English language should be spoken.
All kids black or white, rich or poor, gang member or college graduate, all come into the world the same way pure, innocent, undefiled with a blank brain hard drive and no data entry. They all come looking for love, needing to belong, wanting to understand and needing to be understood. But many of these INNOCENT ONES are blindsided by a contaminated culture they not sign up for. They are reaping a harvest that they themselves did not sow, they are caught in a web that they did not spin.
We explore how the toxic culture in the home and the polluted culture outside of the home turns innocent children into deviant rebels of society.

From the very first page this book grabbed my attention with its compelling and provocative exploration of the impact of culture on children's innocence. The author's words are a wake-up call, urging readers to reflect on the environments in which children grow and the hidden influences that shape their behaviors and attitudes. This book confronts uncomfortable truths and challenges readers to take a proactive role in preserving the innocence of our children.
Sue E, Reviewer
A profoundly important book that offers a deep dive into the adverse effects of a toxic and rebellious culture on the innocence of children. The author's powerful words unveil the harsh reality that children, irrespective of race, socioeconomic background, or future aspirations, all enter this world with purity and innocence. Yet, the influence of their environment, both inside and outside the home, molds them into individuals who deviate from societal norms. This thought-provoking book serves as a wake-up call, urging parents, educators, and society at large to recognize and address the corrosive elements that taint the innocence of our future generations.
