BALTIMORE — Some of the city's toughest communities, those plagued by crime and drugs, are also notorious for another adverse distinction: having a high number of children who have been abused.

Park Heights in northwest Baltimore has long had the reputation of being crime-ridden, failing in housing and booming with liquor and corner stores. It's part of the 21215 ZIP code.

"That ZIP code has a disproportionate high number of child victims of abuse and other traumas there," said Adam Rosenberg, executive director of the Baltimore Child Abuse Center.
