When No Is The Death Word

Gangs in schools are becoming a way of life in the hoods. Today's gangs are many and the police can't keep up with them. A lot of gangs don't wear tatoos or colors that represent them. The gangs of today uses hand signs and code words the police hasn't yet found a book on. There are gangs with kids as young as 8 years old. I know it may be hard to believe, but it's true. They take pocketbooks and steal items from stores. They do the kind of things that doesn't call for muscle. So when an 8 year old is approached by a gang member and asked to join, if your answer is no, they report you to an older gang leader where they convince you to join. A gun to the head and a few hard words spoken, that's usually all it takes to convice a young boy to join. Most boys in the younger gangs are those without a father present in their lives. So what is a kid to do and who does he turn to when dad (the man he depended on to guide him durning these times in his life) isn't there to give him the advice he needs to confront gang members. Gangs target kids without a father figure in their lives. So what happens is most young boys join and before long, another good kid has been set on a road of crime and neighborhood destruction.

When Tears Fall

This is a blog about the many children that will live life without the luxury of having a parent in their lives. How their summers are spent, and what is being done to address how these children will face the world and find understanding to how and why a parent was lost to street crimes. Drug areas and gangs must not be where their children grow-up and gangs can't be their only hope of survival. Peace Children Fund with your help will raise money to fund summer camps and other activities to help keep these children on a path to be productive and positive in life. Lets give them a chance at life by donating to the cause of hope for the children's future.
