When the problem is discussed. However, it seems only the teenage mother and her child on the topic. Well, what about the father? What role does he play? What are his responsibilities? Today on City Line, we'll discuss the teen fathers dealing with the problem of displaced workers. I'm t montero and today on news gap. We'll talk about that. Hi, i'm harold anthony.

Good afternoon and thank you for being with us today on City Line. Another lovely day. I think so. Got a rather interesting topic today. You know, the issue of teenage pregnancy has been much discussed, particularly because, as we mentioned, Baltimore is leading the nation in the incidence of teenage pregnancy. But one side that is rarely discussed and is probably as much a part of the situation is that of teen fathers. And we have with us today Mr. Richard Roe from the Baltimore Urban League.

Thanks for being with us. Just how big is the problem? What are we talking about in terms of the scope of the teenage pregnancy problem, particularly here in Baltimore? It's a very, very serious problem. Mr. Belding, we're talking about thousands of young girls who are pregnant before they're 20 before their 20th birthday. We're talking about a large number of young girls who are pregnant before they're 15. And in fact, there are many young girls in Baltimore City who get pregnant before they're before they're 13 years old. It is a very, very serious problem that demands a community effort. I am tired of of the community thinking that only one organization can solve this problem. It requires a community effort, requires the churches, the schools, the Urban League, the NAACP and all the other groups out there and trying to deal with this. What is the cause? I mean, are we simply talking about relaxed social mores or is there a real problem out here that we're not seeing? We're talking about relaxed social mores. We're talking about the media. The media, which pretty much defines for our young kids morals, defines for our young kids, ethics defines for our young kids directions and goals. Anytime you can watch television shows where family members are competing against each other for for one another, you know, in some of the programs revealed those kinds of scenarios the media has of influence our children, and it continues to influence our children to do things that that I believe they should not be doing. Also, we're looking at the breakdown in the family. You know, we have a situation in Baltimore City where 50, 55, 56% of the the households in the black community are headed by single females.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=154.99,257.529"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"You know, we're talking about a situation where 70% of the state prison population are black men. You know, we're talking about a situation where a large percentage of black male children are dropping out of school. Okay. Now, you've said that there are thousands of babies born to women before the age of 20. Give us some sense of those statistics and do a black white breakdown as well. Well, in trying to give you a breakdown, I would say that in 1980 there were 70, 77% of the babies born out of wedlock were born to black women. Out of that 77%, approximately 40% of those children were born to teenage mothers. And we're talking about 8000 births. You know, we're talking about 8000 births. I have been looking at some of the statistics, recent statistics, and reveals that it's interesting that more young white girls in 1983, 1984 are having more children now, keeping their babies than black women, so that there is a decline or decrease in the number of young teenage black females having babies and an increase in the number of white teenage girls having babies. Let's bring these gentlemen into the discussion. Let me ask you first, Winfield, did you think about becoming a father or was it something you considered or was it a mistake? I kind of said it was a mistake. It wasn't nothing I was planning. But by has been as a responsibility that I have to live with. Were you using contraceptives? No. Also, had you considered using contraceptives? Well, yeah, I consider using them, but I just had used it at the time. So then why didn't you use it? Well, I really didn't use it at that time, as they have. Knowing what you know now, would you use it in the future? Yes.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=258.44,369.73"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"What about you, Kenneth?

Well, what it means for me to show the to show people that taking care of a kid is one of the top things to do if you have the responsibility to do it. I would imagine that both of you would encourage your friends if you had friends in a similar situation, to take the responsibility. But. What is your feeling? Do most men your age who fathered children take the responsibility? Someone. Someday. Someday. Some don't care. Yeah, half I'm into. Okay. We're going to continue our discussion in just a minute.

Now, just before the break, we were talking about the whole issue of responsibility with Winfield and Kenneth, your responsibility. Winfield, how have you assumed that? How has it changed your whole thinking now? Because you know what? You're 19, 18, 18. How has it changed you? Well, for right now, it is less as a responsibility. I take care when a baby does a well.

So I have to give it up and take it away. Kenneth, you've got two weeks of experience, roughly. How has it changed you? Well, well, as I was looking forward to it, I feel good about it. I mean, taking care of a kid is a big responsibility, what I'm handling. How are you? How are you adjusting your what you had hoped to do with your life? Are you still going to be able to do the things that you wanted to do before this happened? Yes. What about school? What about work? Well, I finished school this Friday. Graduated from school. And the work, I suppose, to work on this week coming up. Very good. And I plan to work and take care of the kid right now. I think another question that we should really concern ourselves with is why? Why is it that so many of our young people are are having children? And why is it that so many of our teenagers, teenage males, are fathering children? I think that that is a very critical question. Is it due to a lack of of love in the household? Is it due to a lack of direction, a lack of goals? Clarification. How can young children parent children? I mean, how can babies who are I mean, these young people out here.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=573.6,687.79"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"How can they raise children when we, you know, some of the best and brightest out here in the black community can't do it?

You help us get the answers of why not that we are relying on you to provide the sole answer. Why? Why do you think what has the Urban League revealed? We're finding out that a lot of our young people are misdirected. A lot of our young people lack the kind of love and attention that they require in order for them to feel good about themselves. Low self-esteem, low levels of confidence. A very, very difficult time trying to adjust to this society. I mean, these are some of the reasons why some of our young people are simply resorting to having children and not resorting to trying to develop themselves in a very, very holistic manner. I mean, and that is a very, very serious concern in our community. These young kids out here today, if we are not going to give them the kind of attention that they need, then what can we expect ourselves? Okay. We have a call holding from home. I'd like to go to that and see the kind of question and information they have. Good afternoon. You line one city line? Yes. My question is, why don't the parents and the teachers both get together, talk to the students, and start giving them the birds and the bees and a run around and come straight out and tell the truth about the situation and how things are supposed to be.

Did you know about contraception? Did you know enough about it to make a choice, do you think? Yeah, I know. I knew about them. There was a conscious lack on your part that you decided not to use it. Yeah, You chose not to use it. Well, I can't say I didn't chose it, just that, you know, I didn't do that. You know, something that just didn't been done. Okay, let's bring our audience into this. Yes, sir. You have a question? I have a question for teenage fathers. I was wondering if they had like a lot of people find themselves in this situation for that. This is something that would never happen to you. Is this something that you never foresaw someone doing going to the age that I am now? Yes. Well, I didn't think it's going to happen to me, but it happened and I have to deal with it. And faith being around my baby and taking care of her, I'm willing to do so. Thank you. Why? Why do you think it is that most of you mentioned earlier, just before we went to the break, you said that a lot of the fathers were in prison, but a lot of them are. A lot of them are not.

Yeah. Finance and some. Yeah, Some people just don't at all. And a lot of fathers are abusing their babies to mothers and fathers. Let me ask another question. You know, Richard asked one of the things that we should be discussing is why it's happening. You're teenagers, you're out there. You're now a father. You're an expecting father. Why do you think it is happening? Why do you think it's happening? Why are so many teenagers having babies slaughtered? Young girls? I hear that's about it. I say stuff from 14, 15 and up. Well, um, I figure those is the parents these days should put their child in some kind of a tax. And even though if they think their child not doing anything, they should pay them on something. Because, um, majority of the fellows are, you know, they considered a girl when they say this girl fat, I mean she healthy, you know, it's in nice shape and nice body and everything and, uh, one way it leads to another. They pull a girl, and next thing you know, that 15 year old girl, 14 year old girl pregnant. Why would a 14 year old get involved in sex that early? And that's what I'm trying to get it. Why is there such sexual activity out there? It's a lot of things going on up there and it's really feelings on the streets. They hear I guess they hear things from their friends or things that people talk about on the corners.

What else are we providing for them in terms of programs? I should also make this point very clear, too, because a recent Urban Institute study revealed that half of the fathers who in fact impregnate these young teenage girls are over 20 years old. And so we're just not looking at teen age fathers fathering or becoming the fathers of teenage, uh, impregnated teenage mothers. What we're looking at and also another element where a lot of older men are impregnating our young girls out here. And that speaks to a very, very serious problem in our community. Why is that? I think, you know, in trying to really come to grips with why that is, I think young girls may be attracted to older men. I think that older men find young girls less threatening. I mean, we need to be looking at these kinds of complex issues before we start dealing with this this this question out here. These young men, when you put the question to them, why, I mean, what does teen ager mean? Teen age? It means child. And so what we have out here are a lot of young children, you know, raising children. And there are people in our community, experts who equate teenage pregnancy with genocide. You know, the fact that we are simply having children in our community. Okay. Now, another thing that I want to ask when we come back has to do with fathering a child. Is that also is that being also equated with manhood? And I think that's an issue that we'd like to discuss when we come back. Please stay with us and call us at 481 1313.

We were gotten off onto the subject of expressing one's manhood. How does does someone your age define manhood? Is it possible that by having a child proving that you can do it, you've established yourself among your peers? No, I don't figure that it makes you over your peers or that you reached a point in your life to saying you're a man. Because these days, teenagers, 16, probably 15 and up can produce a child. That's I'll forget that's making you a man. But it's you going into manhood, I figure. But isn't that the feeling out there? And a lot of them saying, well, I'm a man because I've got four children out there? Yeah. Some of the young guys can. Some people can consider that by saying that, because I think a man.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=1241.88,1424.26"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"This will make a man.

There's some people find that young, you know, 16, 17, live in their own world, and they find they probably feel good about what they doing. You know, figured they reached the manhood. And Jackie, that is a very serious problem. Our young men are socialized to think that being cool means abandoning your children and also having as many babies as you can have. And they also define manhood by the fact that they can have these children, especially when when they can't acquire manhood in other, more traditional ways, you know, jobs and educational levels and things of this sort. And so a man who is reduced to a very narrow definition of of simply having children or ripping off someone in the community or being cool and all these kinds of things, these are double standards and not condoning it, you know, that that really affects us. Okay. Let's bring our audience back into this. Yes, ma'am. You have a question or comment? I keep hearing the young men refer to assuming their responsibilities. And I was wondering what they perceive these responsibilities to be. You keep saying you are going to assume the responsibilities for this child. And I just want to know, what do you see as your responsibilities as one of the parent of this child? Well, obviously, I feel my responsibility is to call the child, make sure the child have a nice home and a future, and to make sure to tell my child it's.

The thing that frightens me, you talk about assuming responsibilities, and I suspect that at 18 you're not even sure what parenting is. And I just wanted to see if the young men had thought through what parenting really means. I hear references to the financial aspect and I'm delighted about that. And yet I'm not even sure both of them will have a job upon completion of high school. But my big concern was, I think many young men and I think they're at it's admirable that they've taken taken the stance. But at the same time, I'm not sure they really understand all that goes into parenting. The financial responsibility is a part of and I think most young people perceive that part. But I was really concerned about the other part. Thank you for the question. Thank you. Is there help for the teenage father in terms of learning what parenting is, in terms of support when when they run into a situation where they don't know what to do? There is not a lot of help in the community, but unfortunately, unfortunately, most of the programs that provide services to teenage teenagers are designed to help the female.

This is perfect for such a serious problem. And what avenues are open to the parents of the children who have to deal with these drug dealers or addicts? Okay. I don't I don't know whether whether we have looked at that that problem in Baltimore City. I know that they have looked at it in Washington, D.C., and they have found the overwhelming number of fathers of teenage parents are, in fact, drug addicts, and a large percentage of the fathers are also incarcerated. I don't know whether or not we have done or conducted that kind of research in Baltimore City. What can be done for these parents? I don't know what can be done for them, because we haven't really looked at that as being a serious problem in this area. CALLER Is there a special interest there for you personally? Yes, there is. I am the mother of a teenage mother who also, at the time of the birth of the baby was the father was a teenager and the father is both an addict and a dealer, but the father was unable to deal realistically with the responsibilities that go along with being a father. And his mother is also unable to deal with that. How is this impacted on your daughter and the child? We have been in and out of court for abuse and assault for the last 12, 17 months in a row and still have to go back at least three more times in the next 30 days.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=1636.23,1752.72"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And again, the caller raises a very interesting, interesting point, Jackie, and that there is not enough research or not enough attention given to problems like this.

So what's going to happen to these fathers without the the wherewithal to to handle the situation? I mean, is drugs that pervasive a problem that it's having a definitive effect on the numbers? Oh, yeah. I mean, I am quite sure the drugs I mean, if you look at most large urban centers where there's a predominant black population. Drugs become one of the most serious problems in the community. And that's where most of the police forces are attacking drugs or trying to. States attorneys Curtis Small has identified drugs as one of the most serious problems in the community. Richard, just before we we leave this caller, what what do you say to a mother of a teenage mother who has this kind of problem? And she go. What can she do? I think that there are some programs. I know that the Northwest Youth Services on Belvidere has a program. They're in the process of getting this program together. In fact, they have services there. She she might want to contact them. She might want to contact the city health department. There may be some help for her there, too.

In our discussion on teen fathers. And we have someone at the microphone right now, Diana Smith of Stark. Right. Tell us about your program and how does it fit into this whole issue of teen pregnancy? First of all, let me say that Baltimore City has lots of programs for teenagers. We have before the fact programs We have after the fact programs. Baltimore City is very progressive in that it does a lot of things for teenagers, is just trying to get them oral coordinated is a problem. My program is called START Right. And we are an infant and maternal care program. And this came out of the concerns that the city and the state health officials and the community had about the high rates of infant mortality, infant mortality, that's the term used to describe those babies that die within the first year of life because of something the mother did or didn't do. So mothers who smoke or drink or use drugs or who don't watch their diets, their babies have a better chance of getting started. So our program is aimed at helping the mother get off to a good start with start, right. How can a father play a role in that in the prenatal care of the baby? We encourage the father to be involved. He is the second parent. We don't exclude him at all. And these boys, these guys are great because they they they want to be responsible. They want to be involved with their babies. And we encourage that. Let me just tell you start right? Is that eight, eight, nine, baby? Why? And for more information about the program, please call us because we want people to know how important it is to get early prenatal care.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=1848.84,2038.09"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"So you deal with nutritional information, nutritional information, no smoking, no drinking, no substance abuse, because it does have an effect on the unborn baby.

Any other final bits of information you want to share with us? I think these guys are great. I'd like to see them keep on doing what they're doing. And if more guys would do it, I think we wouldn't have so many problems. Thank you so much for sharing it with. The fact that we have to be very careful not to romanticize teenage parenthood. We must not romanticize it, glorified or elevated to to new heights. I think we need to be more concerned with preventing another generation of our kids from going through this, this, this, this cycle again, because it's evident that once they father or once they become parents, many of the opportunities open to them. The doors start closing that many of mothers drop out of school, the fathers end up in the streets, etc., etc.. So tell us about the Urban Urban League program. You've got some posters out around those spot. What is your program director that? Well, the National Urban League has developed a media campaign to target it just for the black male. You know, and simply saying if you can't be a father, don't make a baby. You know, it's hitting them very hard. There is there are essays. There is a piece by James Ingram, who is singing a song about parenthood, etc., and it's trying to simply bombard the community with these kinds of messages, hoping to touch the minds of our young men, because many of them, again, defining their manhood through through fatherhood, is unfortunate.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=2038.45,2141.69"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And if we can get them to start thinking differently, we may be able to put an end to this problem.

That's not going to happen. This is an epidemic, really. It definitely is a national crisis. What do you think the impact is going to be on the quality of the generations to come? I am very pessimistic. I really am. I mean, just recently the children's book published their report and they are pretty much concluding that we are almost guaranteeing that the next generation of young kids will remain in poverty. That is the conclusions of the report. And teenage pregnancy is one of the reasons for that. And so I have a very I'm very pessimistic about it, although I am also optimistic by the kinds of programs that are starting to crop up and the community as a whole. Of course, for a gentleman like this, there is reason for optimism. There are those who are willing to take the responsibility. I want to I think he had a point that you wanted to make. Yeah. A lot of parents and people blame when a girl get pregnant, mainly on the guys. But it's not just the guys. The girl itself is, you know, they lay down there and the guy lay down.

Good afternoon. Topping today's news cap. Two of the nation's leading black mayors clashed publicly on Capitol Hill yesterday over whether the administration subminimum wage program would reduce the tragic 42% black youth unemployment level. D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, president of the 300 member National Conference of Black Mayors, supported the idea, contending that a majority of his city's youth feel a job paying $2.50 an hour beats no job at all. On the other hand, Mayor Harold Washington of Chicago described the experiment as an insult to black teenagers that would result in their own exploitation. Feeling as though there are few opportunities for advancement, minority journalists are giving up jobs on newspapers across the country at a rate three times that of their white counterparts. That's according to a study by the Institute for Journalism Education. Of those minorities still working at newspapers, the institute found 40% of them said they planned a career switch. Today, only about 3000 of the nation's 50,000 newsroom positions are held by minority journalists. But making a career switch may be easy for some and more difficult for others, especially when that job switch is forced and not by choice.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=2235.26,2434.54"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Such is the dilemma faced by the displaced worker, who, through no fault of his own, suddenly finds himself out of a job after years of gainful employment.

Hall, thank you for joining us this afternoon. Thank you to you. Good morning. Good morning. What is the displaced worker? The displaced worker or workers who have been in the steel mills, garment industries, industrial plants, machinist shops who are displaced, as you said earlier, through no fault of their own, They're off. Their jobs have been laid off. They have been laid off from their jobs. Their industries are basically extinct. And there is very little to no expectation that they will be called back to these jobs. Would we say that the displaced worker is a victim of modern technology in the rapidly changing workplace? Yes, they are victims of modern technology. They're also victims of increased foreign competition for imports. They are victims of steel being jobs, being relocated, businesses and industries being relocated to more profitable bases. Ms. HALL Then what recourse does the worker have who has worked in a situation for 20, 30, 40 years, suddenly is let go fired because of changes in the workplace? What recourse is does this individual who was willing to work, who is used to good pay, who is used to working, what recourse does he have? The recourse is a few. The adjustments are many. The individual has to accept the reality that the workplace is changing and they have to make changes to go along with that change.

However, that range goes from for the state of Maryland, 153,000 long term displaced workers since 1983, June 10th, the week of June ten through the 14th, has been designated by Mary Schaefer and the president of the City Council as Worker Dislocation Week. Exactly what does that mean? Worker dislocation week is a week in which we as a community will be looking at the problems of dislocation and how it impacts on city residents. You are a project director for, I understand, an ambitious program called Baltimore Works. Tell us about that project. Baltimore works as a job assistance program. Baltimore Works is a job assistance program. And basically Baltimore works will encourage people to let us know that they are working, that they are looking for work, and we will assist them in developing reemployment plans. We basically want to raise the consciousness of the community to the plight of the dislocated worker. They are very difficult to see in the community because they're not necessarily visible. What they do is they tend to think their situations are isolated situations and stay to themselves. So we want to support dislocated workers and let them know that there is concern in the community that there are efforts to assist them in their dislocation or reentry into the workforce and that we want to show businesses committed to finding places for dislocated workers in their workforce and people who just basically care about the state of employment.

Briefly in other news, if you are receiving benefits from Social Security, civil service, retirement, military retirement, veterans pensions or disability, and a number of other federal benefits programs, you could be among the more than one half million people the Congressional Budget Office says will be pushed into poverty by the Reagan administration's proposed elimination of the 1986 federal cost of living adjustments.

You know, there seems to be a renewed interest in a former superstar who all but disappeared from the scene for ten long years. Her name is Eartha KITT, and she is currently in the midst of what will surely become one of the most dramatic comebacks in entertainment history. Born on a cotton farm in South Carolina, she was destined to an early life of struggling to overcome the hardships brought on by poverty, family, indifference and prejudice. The one thing that she had on her side was natural talent and her own distinct individuality. She attended the famed School of Performing Arts in New York City, and by the time she was 20, she was featured as a dancer and a vocalist and had performed all over the world. While performing in Paris, she was spotted by Orson Welles, who called Miss KITT the most exciting woman in the world, and she was immediately signed to star with him in a stage production. This led to many, many more stage productions and several Tony Award nominations. Broadway stardom led the way to a recording contract and a succession of best selling records, as well as her first autobiography called Thursday's Child. Besides conquering the stage, the literary world, and being one of the hottest recording artists of her time, she also made TV and movie appearances opposite such names as Sidney Poitier and Nat King Cole.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207#t=2794.06,3053.72"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105482/file/206207/transcript/48891/annotation/23","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But her career came to a screeching halt in January of 1968 when she spoke out against the Vietnam War two First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson.
