Children Living on HUD Properties

While reading recent news articles on the tragic shooting death of A. Dorsett's mother, the drug deals, assaults, and the stolen property, and gun, we should ask ourselves if Aaron's young life inside this crime-ridden subsidized housing complex contributed to the dangerous adult behaviors we now read about in local newspapers.  Afterall, Mr. Dorsett witnessed too many years of drug deals and violence as a child while he grew up on Martha Drive. 
 "It wasn’t until May 28, 2013, the day before the murder trial started, that Dorsett admitted to prosecutors that he had stolen the gun from a man he was charged with robbing a year before the shooting.
    On July 20, 2010, a Rockland man reported that he was at the Spring Gate Apartments in Rockland when two men with guns, later identified as Dorsett and his brother, beat him up and robbed him of a loaded handgun, $800 cash and jewelry. The man told police he was at the complex buying drugs and was set up."
