Latino families fight lure of gangs – A Portland officer teaches a national program in Spanish, reaching parents and kids – Oregon
Tagged: children, family, gangs, Oregon, parents, police, Portland
Melecia and Alejandro Torres have good reason to fear gang violence — there have been four gang-involved shootings near their Northeast Portland apartment in the past three years. They don’t want their children swept up in that world.
So they’re making sure their children know that the police are ready to help and that gangs are no good.
The Torres family is participating in the nation’s first Gang Resistance Education and Training program for families presented in Spanish. Portland Officer Angel Ocasio leads it, with help from five county social workers.”*
