During the
conference about gangs, the mayor pointed out one local program that's making a
difference in the fight against gangs. We visited that gym last week and talked
to their owners about why it's so successful. It's a Y-CAP after school program
which also teaches boxing. Owner Joe Smith says juvenile court refers many
students to their facility. He says they pick the kids up from school, help them
with homework and talk about issues at home - before hitting the gym.
