I don't believe that, because I come from a family of nine kids. I'm the only one out of all those kids who hit the street or did anything wrong. So I don't care how strong your family community is; if there's a child in there who doesn't feel they fit in, they go looking for it elsewhere. And I believe that's how kids become recruited.
I was out on that street a long time. I can go into a school, and I can tell you which child will end up in a gang because they have such low self-esteem, and they have all different kinds of issues, and they are looking for some kind of family to fit into. I don't care if your grandma hugs you every day. If you don't feel worthy, you're going looking for it elsewhere.
