Violence and Gangs/Drugs

[TuscanDreams]

Gangs have been tied to the drug trade for many years. Here are some resources to assist you in keeping your kids off of drugs and away from gangs.

This site is great, because parents are THE #1 reason that kids stay drug free.

This site educates parents on issues that most of us haven't heard of- like kids becoming addicted to prescription drugs.

This is an excellent site to educate us about keeping our children gang free. Gangs are becoming more brazen and violent, I'm a gang specialist in my job and I'm really concerned about our children in America. These gangs are so seductive to our children, it's really hard for them to "just say no" to gangs.

Thanks for bring these to the board, Tuscan. Gangs are becoming so well-organized and have spread across the country in great numbers, and seem to be unstoppable. Hope we can find ways to crush the appeal they have for so many of our kids. And so many are already legacy members for generations.
