Just as we warn our kids against the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs before we discover evidence of such activity , we must take similar precautions and talk to our children about the dangers of gang involvement. That is, making our children aware that gang association of any kind is harmful and will not be tolerated. They need to hear it from you and know where you stand. Discuss the consequences of being in a gang.
