• The best way to keep your teen away from gangs is to make it clear that if he needs support, he can turn to you.
• Teens who are interested in their schoolwork usually don’t become gang members.
• Know where your child is and who he is with. “Going out,” should have a purpose—a trip to the mall, the movies or to a friend’s house.
• Keep in touch with other parents, too.a
