Just a quick note on a new trend which is hitting schools all across this area…
In what is just another of history repeating itself, kids are now making and wearing beaded bracelets for each other to wear. There is no pattern to these things. Boys and girls of all races and in most grade levels are wearing them. While many just wear them for fashion statements and/or to honor their friends, gang members have started using them for their purposes as well.
It is easy to hide the name of a gang, gang initials, or gang sayings in the bracelets. Most people will just look at the group of bracelets and just chalk it up to “kids being kids”. However upon further investigation, it is easy to notice the gang identifiers.
The good news is that most schools are capable of addressing these in their dress code guidelines.
