Hi Crenshaw, One of my co-workers works in a program that helps juveniles who have been in trouble with the law. This co-worker did prison time for drug dealing and was in a gang himself at that time.
I asked him what a parent should do if thier son is involved in a gang and drug dealing, etc. His first question was "Does the kid have any positive male role models?" He suggested contacting the local 'Boys and Girls Clubs of America"-they have programs specifically for youth involved in gang activity.
here is some information about the program....

Find one in your area....

He suggested that if nothing else, the family may have to leave and move somewhere else.....
hope this helps.
