In reply to Blaine.">/2020/06/letter-to-the-editor-response-to-student-governments-call-to-cut-ties-with-columbus-police/comment-page-1/#comment-118030">Blaine. Thank you for your post, Blaine. You bring up such an important issue. There should absolutely be a social work hotline. Hopefully it will not be this way forever, but right now, money is with the police and force, not in real problem solving. The police receive an extraordinary amount of money from the city, while the school system is left to flounder. When we start becoming a more educated group of people, maybe we will not need to spend so much on force and jails. Maybe then we will have more money and energy to dedicate to mental health and people who really need those resources.
