That kid that's now in college was born. He took one look at that baby boy and wanted to be better. My own father got took him under his wing and just like he expected his own kids to go and finish college, he expected that skinny hood boy to do the same. I am so proud of him, he attended IIT in Chicago and is a great father. He started a robotics club with my younger son. I kid with him and tell him, you're probably the only nerdy, ex-gagbanger dad in the world. :)

The absence of proper parenting is one of the most complicated problems the world faces. Sadly, the people who employed Mr. Lopez' mother could have paid her more, so that she might work less--thus being able to be present in her child's life. My theory is that people are inherently greedy: I've caught myself doing it as well as many others. Its not that people are bad, its just they don't think about anything except for whats right in front of them. Let me give an example. Say you are picking berries from a bush on your property, and you have just picked the last berry you need for the day. How often do you stop, despite the fact there are still hundreds of beautiful berries just sitting there, right in front of you? in my experience, the thrill of getting something valuable (food) for free is exhilarating enough where i will want to keep picking long after my needs are met. Now imagine this bush sprouts gold. What then? what are the chances of you leaving gold nuggets just sitting out there for the crows, or any bold enough to take them when you are not looking? I don't blame people for wanting to milk every dime they can from their business--its human nature to want to take full advantage of an opportunity. This is the problem with illegal/poorly regulated business practices--the people running them aren't just going to stop once they have enough to eat--for most people the thought of letting something valuable lie untouched is unfathomable, bordering on painful. How do you combat human nature as a human?

"The absence of proper parenting is one of the most complicated problems the world faces. Sadly, the people who employed Mr. Lopez' mother could have paid her more, so that she might work less--thus being able to be present in her child's life." Are you blaming her for trying to put food on the table for her sons? Do you know what life was like for immigrants in that time? In this time? She worked 14 hour days in a sweatshop because they probably paid her less than minimum wage. Because she was, likely, an immigrant. They could get away with it because the line for US citizenship is notoriously long. And while she was waiting in limbo she was still an immigrant, so they could get away with paying her less. I know that this ties into your point, but you cant blame her for trying to support her family. The first way you combat human nature as a human is compassion.

On the contrary--i applaud her for the courage she had, and her hardworking nature. I'm not trying to blame anyone. I'm trying to point out that her employers (and other people in positions of power/wealth etc) are not always thinking of the big picture--merely of how they can turn a profit that is more than what they need--what does a human need with billions of dollars, while the people who work for them get pennies? i am stating there is a massive inequality among people that needs to be addressed. Let me rephrase what i said earlier to clarify: Parents in Mrs. Lopez position are being grossly taken advantage of by employers who do not have her best interests in mind, therefor taking away her opportunity to be a parent at all. Let me also say this: when you are a 14 year old, and you see honest people like your mom working for table scraps and getting nowhere--and yet you see gold chains, nice cars, and jewel encrusted rings hanging off of gangsters...who are you gonna work for? i don't blame these children for turning to crime--in their situation, it actually pays.

Several years ago I lived next to a guy who escaped gang membership in St. Louis, MO. He moved to Texas, deleted all his social media accounts and changed his phone number. That's all he said was necessary. His family had already moved away, so there was no one left in St. Louis to harass regarding his whereabouts. Over time, he said the people who knew him best would either themselves leave, die or receive lengthy prison sentences. As time passes, the possibility anyone would ever track him down significantly decreases. Even if someone was really pissed about him leaving, he said most aren't smart or resourceful enough to find him. He said those resources cost money, and people in the life would never shell out thousands just to exact revenge. They were way too preoccupied with other things to be that unselfish. He told me all about it when we were having beers. At the time we were neighbors, he was in HVAC training and his wife was an executive secretary. After he started working, he began the slow process removing his gang tattoos. I moved from that apartment 11 years ago but we periodically exchange email, mostly about sports. He's still in Texas and doing well.

well ye, if you watched the talk closely it's not that hard to "get out" (even though this can be really hard, cause it can mean leaving family members and close friends behind who are in the same situation, but not aware) but to find purpose outside of the gang. especially setting foot in the regular world with this background. it's not so much about being chased by the gang, they also know that most people come back (actually like he said in the vid 70% of ex-members become members again).

Selling drugs and going to jail is a way of life in low income comunity. I can relate to his story. I left a poor environment. I went to college to get a degree in teaching. I now teach in a prison with inmate students. I would not want to teach in any other setting. I can relate to this man's story because it is my story. Breaking the cycle of gang life is not easy. Great testimony. I need to do one too some day. My students tell I should share my story more with people. Awesome job . Loved his video.

If you look at it from the other side it makes sense. Every person that a manager hires is a risk to their reputation. If they hire someone who later steals something or is unreliable it reflects badly on their ability as a manager and damages their employer. Most people don't feel that they can risk that.

A business owner must be cautious whom he hires. He has a responsibility for the safety of his employees and customers as well as concern for the success of his business. What if a potential employee with criminal record, especially gang crime, is not so ex as he puts forward? And there is a very real concern that his former friends will come in to harass him, bringing potential violence and other crime to the business.
