Parents: Please Teach Your Children...
The
of Operation Safe Child
Abide by the law and attend school every day. Be on time and be righteous. Correct mistakes and climb higher. Do the right thing and do your homework. Eat right and excel by trying for excellence. Flee bad situations and find something good to read. Go straight home and avoid gangs. Have a good attitude and help others. Ignore illegal drugs that are used by idiots. Jump for joy that you are good. Keep your conscience clean and keep promises. Lead in the right direction and look for ways to improve. Make money by studying and working.
Never lie, cheat or steal. Obey parents, teachers and police. Predict paying for wrong a long time. Quit giving excuses. Respect everyone and read as much as possible. Stay in school until you graduate from college. Try your best and treat everyone fairly. Use good character habits. Value yourself. Wait for the right time, work hard and watch out for strangers. X-ray your actions and attitude. Yearn to be right. Zoom high by reading, writing, computing and studying.
“Cherish the Children By Teaching Them the Truths They Need to Know”
7. Joining a gang causes trouble for your whole family. 8. Gang members and drug pushers have to pay lawyers, bail money and they lose whatever job they did have.
9. If a gang member and drug pusher starts using drugs then they are poisoning their body and poisoning their brain.
1. A person that joins a gang can expect to picked up by police and arrested within six months.
2. People are asked to join gangs in order for the gang to make money off of them. People are recruited to join a gang so that gangs can put them out on the street to sell illegal drugs.
3. Drug pushers do not earn big money. People on the street selling drugs earn about $3.50 per hour. Wal-Mart and McDonald’s workers earn more than $8.25 per hour. In other words, the lowest paid legal workers earn twice as much as illegal drug pushers and they don’t have to go jail for it.
4. Wearing a hat backward and tilted to one side is a gang sign and can get a person beaten up or shot because they are showing wrong gang signs. In other words, wear your hat straight and your pants up.

She can expect to get incurable AIDS. She can expect to spend many years in jail. She can expect to remain poor for most of her life. Boys who join gangs can expect the same things.
