NEW YORK, June 1 (Xinhua) -- For decades, young people in the United States exposed to shootings outside the home have been without access to the broad range of intervention efforts and support at various stages of life given to youth facing other forms of traumatic events, reported U.S. news portal BET on Tuesday, quoting pediatrician Nina Agrawal.
"We need to start recognizing that our children are experiencing trauma and it may not show up overtly, but we have to start recognizing it and listening," said Agrawal, who chairs the Gun Safety Committee for the New York state chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
