'You can get shot. You can die by living the right life...'
Gauthier said, as a mother herself, she has become"deeply concerned by the growing amount of youth becoming entangled in the violence epidemic."
"It's an unacceptable number of people of who have been shot and murdered, in particular as it relates to our young people," he said."We have to make some different changes."Experts from throughout the city discussed issues they see that could lead to youth being involved in gun violence as well as successes they have had through encouraging parent involvement, community-based approaches to intervention and other efforts.
When councilmembers asked how growing up in the city led to potential issues with gun violence, McDaniels said that, for many younger people, carrying a gun is seen as protection from violence. "We work to keep young people in the community with services instead of having them sent away to state placement or incineration," she told members of City Council.
