Children’s rights advocates have identified the abuse of children in Black communities as a byproduct of the normalization of abuse experienced by Black people as a whole.

Psychologist Dr. Norman Fried joins Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss the abuse Black children take.

All this and more on “Prime.”
