Something so new, how could it help with something so serious? Helping the Justice Department with Child Warfare. Down to the minute detail. Predict the risk that a child will be broken forever. Predict the risk of a disappointed parent. 


Something so new, it was created in 2016. The Justice Department trusts a computer. An algorithm scouting and peeking around. An algorithm smart enough to diagnose mental and behavioral, a human has hard time detecting.   


Something so new, it hasn’t even left the Pittsburgh area. Just surfacing the minds of the Justice Department. The new technology breathing on the areas in affect. Hunting the people of Pittsburgh, could be good or bad. 


Something so new, can we trust this? Just think for a second………………..a computer using data to find such sensitive and important data. But, you can never know with this world. Data, actual facts help prove some importance and sensitivity.
