I do not see where you are introducing any solutions as you claim to be doing for the "epidemic" that you claim exists.
katsteve, despite the FACT you clearly state a problem does not exist, I'm glad you mentioned
SOLUTIONS. I have a few in mind.
My thoughts for protecting and preventing our Nation's most cherished assets from experiencing,
THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, a potentially life-scarring abusive childhood during a critical period of human/childhood development.
1) Personally, I believe it would be very helpful if America’s former Premier Presidential and Parental First Couple denounce the VIOLENT, PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY HARMING STREET/GANGSTA CULTURES many of their American urban story-TRUTH-teller White House guests and friends promote and profit from.
Then, imo, the Obamas owe responsible, law abiding American citizens and legal residents a HUGE APOLOGY for WILLFULLY IGNORING the Culture of African American Child Abuse and Emotional Maltreatment many of their friends and White House guests vividly describe in their American music art. The same Culture of Child Abuse that fuels and maintains America's urban GANGSTA/STREET CULTURES.
Second, after apologizing to their American and foreign born neighbors for their gross lack of good judgment, Mr. Barack “My Brother’s Keeper” Obama Mrs. Michelle "Girl Power" Obama should BEGIN making amends.
Beginning with compassionately and honestly addressing the issue of immature, apathetic, SELFISH, irresponsible, emotionally or mentally ill mostly single teen and adult moms IGNORING their parental duty and responsibility to their children, as well as their moral, ethical and societal obligation and duty to their nation, community and neighbors to responsibly raise, nurture and supervise kids maturing into fairly peaceful teen and adult American citizens respecting our peaceful and/or less fortunate neighbors, as well as educators and the authority figures responsible for maintaining peace in our neighborhoods.
Other possible steps for protecting and/or preventing American kids from experiencing potentially life-scarring trauma during a critical period of human childhood development:
2) I believe police, as well as public and private school teachers need to be BETTER TRAINED in recognizing the signs of Child Abuse. Police and teachers also need to be ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ACTION by filing "Reports of Suspected Child Abuse" with the appropriate authority.
If just one of Kendrick Lamar's teachers or school administrators recognized Kendrick was a troubled youngster in need of help, perhaps young Kendrick might NOT have matured into an admitted depressed, emotionally ill, suicidal thinking teen and adult composing American art hatefully demeaning girls and women as less than human *itches and 'hoes', as well as vividly describing the abusive childhood upbringing he and the numerous kids in his family were forced to experience
through no fault of their own!

3) Placing cameras in the 'common area' of homes establishing a public track record for failing to responsibly raise and supervise children and teens.
4) Mandatory random drug testing for people requiring public money to support their child. Mandatory drug and/or alcohol testing for primary child caregivers convicted of drug offenses as well as offenses related to improper child care. Alcohol is a drug.
5) Last resort, court ordered birth control allowing immature or emotionally ill/unstable teen or adult moms with one child on public assistance to gain parental experience and mature into their role as primary child caretaker before building a larger family.
In my opinion extraordinary though reasonable measures MUST be taken to protect children from a significant population of “clueless” negligent mostly single moms who create emotionally and physically abusive home environments for their newborns, infants, toddlers children and teens, and then invite law enforcement to their home:

Do you believe during this broadcast experiencing a few brief wi-fi interruptions, our apparent caring, concerned fellow citizen James Hawthorne is speaking about a potentially life scarring *MATERNAL CHILD CARE* PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS?
"(Most) Black Women are the reason for the ignorance and killing done by (Most) Black Men" ~James Hawthorne "Ghetto News Network"
Much like Tupac, I’m sorry to pick on moms, though since ancient times they are the primary caregivers we look to keep our young minds feeling SAFE, protected, cared for
and loved right from our start.

Now that 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim-survivor Oprah Winfrey LOUDLY addressed our Nation's *CHILD CARE* PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, will YOU, a responsible, caring American citizen join Oprah & Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, MD, pediatrician & CEO of 'The Center For Youth Wellness', in passionately calling for a National MOVEMENT educating American & foreign born primary child caregivers about a potentially life scarring medical disease/condition:
"Childhood Trauma" aka
"Adverse Childhood Experiences" (#ACEs)

During a March 11, 2018 '60 Minutes' segment titled, "Treating Trauma," Oprah Winfrey, a 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim-survivor, shared knowledge regarding America's easily PREVENTABLE, though potentially life scarring *CHILD CARE* PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
EYE-OPENING knowledge Oprah exuberantly confirms is a "game changer."
