parents

No parent wants to find out that their kid has fallen in with a bad crowd, but it is more difficult than ever to keep track of of their movements. Would you know if your child was in a gang and being led astray? Would you want to know?

The first many parents hear of their children's delinquent behaviour is when they are brought up in juvenile court. It isn't like the old days when you could depend on the neighbourhood to make sure no one got up to mischief. A cycle takes place where young impressionable children are taken under the wing of the older, more powerful youths and are put up to vandalism and theft. It starts with shop-lifting and grafitti, but ends with bullying, intimidation and violence.

Now is your chance to stop the slide into criminal behaviour.
