Joseph Gulotta
1:46:18
for more context, I can tell you.
1:46:19
Just look going back to the schools for a second.
1:46:21
We do track the schools.
1:46:22
And we do see the ones along that 7 subway lines being and we share that we're gonna share that information with them.
1:46:28
And that's when we we do our education piece.
1:46:30
That's how we do it.
1:46:31
We track what schools, where we see them prevalently, and we can see what schools they're coming from.
1:46:35
So really along that 7 line would be one of the places we see the the most amount of students from coming from.

We're seeing mostly boys, but we do have a share of girls doing it.
1:46:49
And just recently, pretty horrific, incident with a with a young lady.
1:46:53
And if you ever see those videos and and see the picture of what happens to what happened to her afterwards, I I still have nightmares about it.
1:47:00
It's that horrific when you look at the, what what a train does to a human body.
1:47:05
She survived, but her life will be forever altered.
