Most children and young adults who take to a life of crime do so because of gangs behind them. When the gang can be got rid of, the webs they meticulously weave can be broken.

These groups provide so many with such worthy services that it is always sad to see them go, and I wonder about the youth and what will happen to them once caring and generous organizatiions like these are gone.

Donation boxes, fund raiser days etc. do help. The govt. isnt necessarily the bad guy but just the guy who has lots to take care of. Its time the have-alls do something for the have-nots.

However, excluding mental health services is like killing the nation with a slow poison. Feeding the nation is definitely priority one on the govt.s agenda.

This will leave so many of our youth who can benefit from services like this on the streets to continue living lives of crime and violence.
