Central Alabama CrimeStoppers officials are stressing that weapons are falling into the hands of young people.
“Two of the last cases that we paid out where a child had a gun in the school and was actually planning on using it, it was the parents’ gun,” said Tony Garrett with CrimeStoppers.
“You don’t want the street to pretty much educate your kids,” Garrett said. “So make sure you’re communicating what your family values are.”“Look through those drawers, look under the bed, look in the mattress, look in the closets to see if they’re hiding anything from you,” Garrett said. “When you peel the layers back from an investigation, the sale of drugs, the use of drugs are often involved in the story,” said COSA Executive Director Shereda Finch.
The council will soon be launching the “Let’s Talk Violence Campaign.” They say it will prepare parents to have the difficult conversations that can shape their child’s future.
