BALTIMORE — Dominic Tyshaun and Kharon made the trek up Monument Street, carrying balloons to the scene where four of their friends were shot earlier this month.⁠
⁠
"It just hurt me when I saw all of them with wrappings around their legs and stitches in their legs and stuff and I was like....mmm," said Tyshaun.⁠
⁠
It's a painful reality for the Newton brothers and dozens of other children across Baltimore.⁠
⁠
Within the last year Baltimore's youth fell victim to nearly 40 non-fatal shootings. Dominc and Kharon now add their friends, a 12-year-old boy, 14-year-old twins and a 17-year-old, to that list. Their wounds are not just physical, but mental and emotional.⁠
⁠
That understanding also drives Uncle T to invest his time in the children in his mentoring program.⁠
