Giovani ragazzi e adulti nativi americani di molte riserve, non hanno adeguati supporti e aiuti a causa di un ambiente povero. Figli adolescenti si danno all’abuso di droghe, alcol o finiscono nel giro della criminalità.

Armando Madero e sua moglie , quest’anno hanno avviato un’organizzazione chiamata ‘Native Cry Outreach Alliance’ ( http://www.facebook.com/NativeCry) e stanno cercando ora di creare un ambiente fisico in cui questi ”giovani guerrieri” siano in grado di sviluppare positivi meccanismi di adattamento. Sperano di abolire i tassi di suicidio e morte lenta tra questi bambini. E non sono i  soli, si stanno formando molti altri tipi di organizzazioni simili per fermare la morte dei loro figli. Vi preghiamo di aiutarli firmando questa petizione da portare in  Congresso e contribuire a ottenere che questa legge sia approvata. Ecco il link del disegno di legge -  http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation.112hr4467

Young teens and adults on many reservations have no guidance on proper life skills due to a poverished environment. Adolescent children see abuse, drugs, alcohol and crime in multi-generations and are looking for a way out. In our family, my wife had a teenage niece who committed suicide (by triggering a shotgun at close range) one year after giving her high school valedictorian speech. My wife is 31 and has also seen cousins, and friends die because of alcohol and drugs. One year before her cousin committed suicide; a close friend passed away in our home at 27 years old from excessive eating, drinking, drug abuse, and prescription medication. This was all treatable and tied to depression. She asked us for help, and we tried, but it was apparently too late and her body could take no more, and she died in her sleep. According to the National Institute of Mental Health a 2007 a census shows that American Indian and Alaska Natives suicide rates were the highest of all nationalities at 14.3 per 100,000, and it is only getting higher. My wife and I, this year started an organization called Native Cry Outreach Alliance (http://www.facebook.com/nativecry) and are looking forward to creating a physical environment where young Warriors can develop positive coping mechanisms. We are hoping to abolish suicide and slow death rates among these children. We are not alone; most reservations are developing similar types of organizations to stop their children from dying also. Please help us by signing this petition to Congress and help get this bill passed. Here is a link to the bill – http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.4467:
