School safety was the focus of a rally in City Hall Park on Sunday, following an increase in teen violence in schools and in the streets.

“We are living a nightmare because we do not know if our kids will return from school. We do not know if our kids will return home from the playground,” parent Eve Hendricks said.

Parents want more action, after a string of recent weapons arrests and violent incidents in or near schools.
