It is during these times that predators in our society seek out our children to harm, or otherwise exploit them.

Finally, this is probably the most important point of all. In our homes, demonstrations of love must be commonplace.

By simply implementing these strategies, we can help to reduce the incidences of youth violence and delinquency. Ultimately, we can unlock the door to a future of productive, community-oriented citizens.

We as adults can reverse this trend by working together to strengthen our community networks, educate our children and stabilize our families, thereby unlocking the grip that this horrific epidemic has on our youth.
