Give thanks for covering this story, and highlighting the hard facts, as well as, the positive works being done. Gang Intervention has been a focus of mine, as I came up in Chicago, where the street tribes where part of my family, and something that I was naturally exposed to. I will definitely reach out for those listed as resources, in addressing the critical issues facing our youth, families, and broader community.

If 90% of at-risk kids have single mothers, one way to dent the gang problem would be to put a tax on fornication, on sex outside holy marriage. (Call it a “sin tax.”:) Sex that makes babies without having set up a husband-and-wife structure to rear children costs us money: police, education, health… Send the official message that fornication does cost, and try (not too hard) to collect some of the cost. This won't stop the problem(s), but it might improve some of the statistics.
