Our Mother's Tears:: a Book About Gangs Manuel Jaramillo

Gangs are a blemish on our society and cause much distress to those who are around them. They sell drugs, commit acts of violence, and influence our children. We need to learn how to fight back, not with more police or longer sentences, but at the heart of gangs, which is their recruitment ability. We can only do this by arming our children and ourselves with the necessary tools. Awareness, education, and truth are what is needed. Gangs come off as glamorous and cool, when in reality, the life is brutal and eats a person up like cancer. We can beat this-together!
