Signs Your Children May Be Associating With Or Involved in Gangs
As parents, we want to protect or daughters and sons of gangs and the violence that surrounds them. The problem is, we need to know anything about the gangs or their culture. What indicators should we? Search How can we connect the difference between normal teenage behavior and behavior with involvement with gangs and gang members?
This is a difficult task. They must learn to use on ties in general and colors "by gangs to identify themselves. Hand-sign andGestures, the gang member's use to identify themselves and set the gang / gang that they identify with. Style of dress, and in the case of females, the style they wear their hair and makeup. Do you know the difference between tattoo jewelry and tattoo that represented gangs.
You also need to know your daughter. Their likes and dislikes, their personality and their friends. In other words, you need a baseline to compare to prior behavior, the behavior that indicate they cangravitating toward gangs.
The following indicators, which by itself is not an indicator of gang association, but may be normal teenage behavior are made. If you determine, however, a few that are a lot of those indicators in the present in your daughter's a good chance they will start to associate with gang members.
All female gangs are becoming more common with the gang culture and are on the rise. They are structured as male gang in most cases, and their male competitorsColleagues in their tendency to violence and crime, and in some cases violent.
As your daughter enters high school, and in some cases, junior high school or middle school. They are bombarded with peer pressure. Identify what group, cheerleaders, geeks, Elmos, skateboarders, dopers, gangsters, or other group at this school. Hormones are also a rising trend and create a whole series of problems of their own, all of which his father is usually very much awareby. Then, the internal struggle for independence. All these elements make them very vulnerable to gang pressure, and gang involvement.
INDICATORS OF POSSIBLE GANG INVOLVEMENT.
FRIENDS;
Has your daughter was dealing with their old friends? The children said that they had grown up around and played with a regular basis. Did she pointed out that the old friends share is not longer the same interests, or that they meet them. Regardless, theApology which is given, this is an area of great importance. You need a good look at her new friend, men and women alike. Have you met the new friends, they come to visit your home, or did your daughter go to their homes, or they meet at a certain slope-out? What is the attitude of his new friend? Friendly to go out, very polite, well educated, or very calm, angry, sullen, withdrawn, are fish. Contrary to popular belief, some of the most violent gang member that Imay appear to have taken very politely educated, good, and very likeable. Become gang member is very deceiving parents, other family member, school officials and even law enforcement. The best way to identify behaviors are a mix of go with your gut feeling and the observation of their actions, if not watch them to know. Pay attention to facial expressions, eye movements and the way they carry themselves. This can associate with your first ad, as human beings rather with peoplethat have the same goals, the worries and concerns. Are the new friends wear gang-style clothing and colors? Look for web straps with buckles, which may have cut off a gang sign at them. The color of the belts, shoes, laces, vests, coats, jackets, watch faces, hats and headwear.
School;
First, the schools of barriers were considered from gangs. It was a free zone or a safe haven. Gangs were not active in the schools. That is has changed, gang violence in schoolson the rise. It has an area for the setting, a place to show the power of gangs, commit crimes and sell drugs. Weapons are placed in schools for intimidation and protection. Many kids get into gangs caught in this phase of the fear. These are the questions you must answer. How is your daughter's grades? Do they still have the same or they have it is dropped? What is the reason for the change? Family problems, friend problems of adapting to a new school or schoolEnvironment, fear of change, fear of gangs, their involvement in gangs? What comments did teachers about their attitudes and behavior in school? Has their attitude changed dramatically acting out to school officials? What she wants to attribute the change to tell? They are getting to her, she did not like her, it's just too difficult? Here, too, know your daughter, before you compare their behavior with current behavior. Talk with the teacher and school officials, their contributions will receive. Finally, they are theProfessionals about the behavior of boys in school.
DRESS;
One of the hallmarks of gangs and gang member and shareholder's dress. Not only the color but also the style. This is important to them for several reasons. In this they are on their own course is a member. Finally, they do not become victims of violence from their own way, and they do not want to commit an act of violence on one of their own members. The reason for this is important to them, gangMembers from victimizing their own gang members and their families be prohibited. Unless it was approved by the command structure of the gang. A violation of this Code of Conduct may result in everything from a verbal warning to strike sever, until death.
Secondly, it is a projection of the gang influence and power. After all, if I go and see one or two man wears gang colors, I'm not very intimidated, but when I see twenty or thirty of them, I will not hang around too.In addition, it has been by others, that the clothes do not make the man who makes the man said the clothes. I see it more than the clothes the image that man has of himself, or the image he wants to provide others to see. This ability to identify gang member and rival gang members in your local news can be seen. When band members know their target on sight, nothing can be said at all. If they know the destination and want their input to be taken for credit, they are known for their gang criesit out, before, after or during the filming. When they made to victims of a rival gang member, but no concrete objective. They are striving to them by their clothes, gang colors or style, to identify the clothing. If she can not find any rival gang member but still want to perform a mission for their bonds. They are their gang sign on a person on the street that look like a gang member can cast or in the territory of a rival gang is a member. If the person is a member of the gang he will react withto sign his band, and they are to continue. If the person answers with a rival gangs to sign, he becomes the victim. Finally, they can verbally identify their gang affiliation or ask the intended victim, "where we represent by", "Who Do You", or a question of this type. If the person says no, or say he is a rival gang or the region, he will be victimized.
What is gang colors and clothing? It can be any color. CRIPS and BLOODS represented by blue and red, respectively.Norteno and sureƱo of red and blue, Oriental will use bands, red, blue, yellow and green. Outlaw motorcycle gangs are using red and white, black and white, green and white. You have to examine you to your local community or law enforcement, schools and local non-profit organization. All of these, either the information or some type of community program in which this information as part of a gang awareness program is issued. Style of clothing may sagging, dragging orField. Wear your pants down around the bottom of their butt, taking her underwear. Be aware that skateboarders tend to wear this style too, like many children their favorite rapper emulation. Originally, I had noticed for the first time, the CRIPS gang members wear their pants in this way, then it is in other bands, and finally to our pop culture. I personally like the style. It's really hard to walk or jump over the fence with pants around your ankles, or walking with one handKeep your pants.
GANG evidence;
What is gang evidence? It is everything that constitutes, or is used by the gang in bringing some form of fashion, to communicate or to identify gang member, or idea. This is the area that ignore the majority of parents. Why you ask? Privacy is concerned, the trust problem, or fear the wrath of their teens. Some parents are, what they see fear, so that they no excuses for the review of their teenage male or female room.A parent is responsible for housing, educating the feed, cloth, care for and protect their children. Your teenager is in most cases is not to say, hey, Mom and Dad, I've decided to be a gang member. As a parent it is your duty and responsibility to check your teens room and belongings to protect them, period. I do not know how often, a victim of the parents their son or daughter will swear is not a member of a gang. Most are, but some closed their eyes and did not want to seethe signs. So, what we look for and where it will be.
First, look at the entire room. Color of the walls, posters, drawings or anything, or hanging from the wall or ceiling. Is there anything related to color or gang gang content. A United Farm Workers (UFW) flag, red with a black Aztec eagle (or more generally as HUELGA BIRD) in the middle? Could an indicator that you test your child to ask what it is and what it means. The original UFW flag was designed by CaesarWas Chavez's brother, he did not make the Mexican Eagle, so he decided to use the space in front of the wings and the Aztec Eagle. It's too long to describe here, but you can bet the United Farm Workers office near you and they will gladly send you a flyer of the flag and what is each part. Needless to say, your Northern Hispanic gangs has the design of the flag of the UFW and began using it as an identifier. You'll see it appear like a flag or a tattoo. As we continue to controlRoom to check clothing pockets for notes or signs of drug use. Check in books, pamphlets, magazines, drawers, diaries, is under the bed, mattresses, chests of drawers and other places you were hiding something. Look down the gang, usually in the micro-printed writing hand. Micro writing is seven sentences in a series of regular lined notebook paper. It can be folded or rolled into a square as big as a toothpick. Read their notes and writings. Do they have any letters crossed out? For example, a Nortenocross the s' in his writings, or you use when typing the dollar sign. It looks like this: "Hey how are you doing guy $. What $ cracks, Home Boy $. Be aware of the contents of the letters and writings. Also note, if your teen suddenly an unusual fascination with the Maya or Aztecs took over writings or symbols. Not just looking at books, read the covers. If you see a book titled "The Art of War by Sun Tzu," it will set up a training aid by the Norteno gangs, and show their ideas to fight andDiscipline. Norteno gang members were also instructed to study books about human nature and how to manipulate human behavior to read, and keywords used to people. Again, a majority of my work with Hispanic gangs was, so those are the examples that I use. As for all bands, since they are pretty much the same in the mansion and style, they are active.
Even if your review of their rooms, search for items "that they should not have. New jewelry, cell phones or electronics in general. Learn howthey have them where they came from, especially if they do not have the money to buy them. Regarding mobile phones, they often check. To whom can they call when they call, check out her cell phone pounds, as the names are listed, and what uses the nickname. The same goes for text messages, please read what are they? Their computer, their e-mail check-in area, they go on the Internet. As with all of these indicators, you need a baseline of behavior for your daughter to help,evaluate their current behavior is linked to gangs or are just a teenage thing. Remember, you will find things that bring you in embarrassment and surprise you. Some of them are normal teenage behavior, but about sex and boys and other such topics. Some can not be, you get to talk with your child about these issues in a general way not to put them in the spotlight and ask them about hours. You will only learn to hide it better next time.
Changes in behavior and attitude.
This is a difficult question. Teenagers are in a period of change in their lives and learn and adapt to the changes in their bodies and environments. They think they are old enough to make decisions for themselves, they want independence from the rule of their parents. They want their own person. As you can tell the difference between output and affect normal behavior? All young people in general rather stupid one time or another. The key is, if theBehavior or attitudes continue, even after it had negative effects. A teenager once coming home drunk, or a teenager who comes home drunk or hungover on a regular basis. Coming home late from time to time, or consistently comes home late and not all will eventually go home. The normal anger and frustration of the parents. Shouted: "You do not understand," running into her room and slammed the door. In contrast to scream, run out the front door and not come home for several days. Anylasting, negative changes in your behavior or attitude of young people is a cause for concern.
Consumption of alcohol or drugs.
Male gang members tend to use alcohol, drugs and sex as a recruiting tool. You will have parties, they bring try to recruit young people and lead them in this representation of the gangster lifestyle. Female an important tool that is used, are to the interest of new members. This is the most dangerous time for your daughter. Gang members will useevery trick they know your daughter, get this party and to start with her as a tool. You might think he likes her, he treated them very well for them and protect them. Eventually, he will convince them to go to the party with him and to alcohol or a low key, taking drugs, using marijuana. After this first step he would continue to befriend her and they always get more alcohol or marijuana. It will be next, either overtly or covertly, get her to a drug such as Methamphetamine use(Meth). He will put meth in her drink without her knowledge. When he feels comfortable at this stage he will begin heavy petting or sex with him. If he thinks he has total control over it, he'll make sure it is to alcohol, drugs or sex dependent. He will then introduce them to have sex with several partners to its management, usually gang members and new recruits. Once she's addicted, used and abused, and no longer attractive for use as a recruitment tool, it will be entered in order to provide for themselves.To pay prostitution, theft or other crimes for their new dependencies. What eighth parents? There are signs of alcohol and drug use, learn what they are. Marijuana, red bloodshot eyes, giggling, nibbles. The signs of meth have uncontrollable twitching or talk, jerky movements that can not stand still or hold a train of thought for all time. For a long time followed by a crash to awaken sleeping for long periods or extremely difficult to enterup. When your daughter reaches the age to be dating or going out safely and warn them about the dangers of alcohol, drugs and gangs. It is not something that they do not open up to drink, no matter how much they trust the people with them. If they can drink unattended, throw it away and get another one. Never drink, drink by someone else. In addition, if you're looking to check her room, searching for glass pipes, is lighter, empty piece of plastic film that may not have a crystalType residue. Look for straws cut about two inches in length or coffee stir sticks. Also check your teens hands. Meth when smoked, with a glass tube usually results in contact burns on the thumb and forefinger.
In conclusion
Remember, you are the parent. It is your responsibility to protect your child. Gang members have a saying, you can do it as a sign, MOB. It stands for Money Over Bitches. That is how women see their bonds prior tools agenda.Many of the gang member I have no inhibitions have spoken about the use of women, and tend to see them as assets and income. You will love them, they tell them, they will have their children. Once a girl has her child sees them as her own. You need to support their children and two jobs to raise him, while he parties with the gang friends and has sex with all he wants. Just to give you an idea of how brainwashed some of their women. In a recorded call from jail, a femaletold her male friend, gang, it would oral sex with a gang member in good standing have that their duty was, and she would swallow, or to do something to help the soldiers in the matter.
The gang life leads only to two places. DEATH and imprisonment.
I have participated with law enforcement for 37 years, as Officer-policy, Correctional Officer (Guard), Correctional Counselor, Correctional Lieutenant and worked a CaliforniaParole Agent. I'm involved with learning about gangs since 1982. Gangs are constantly evolve and change, their structure, the nature of operations and are constantly looking for new ways to legally or illegally to make money.
My son and I started D & D Consulting to assist our community in the fight against gang violence and recognition in our community, matching programs for schools, teachers to help students and parents to understand and recognize signs that our Children may be the risk of a gangParticipation, or association. Knowledge is the key to protecting our children become victims, gang members or associates. Combating gangs requires that our police, schools and communities work together to bring the end to terror and victimization that gangs have on our community.
