In Chicago, if you're a stepdad or if you're dating a woman with children, it's crucial to consider taking on a mentorship role after six months to a year into the relationship. This is vital because many children in the city lack a father figure, a mentor, or a trustworthy adult. By stepping into this role, you could potentially save not only their lives but also prevent them from endangering others through Chicago's gang culture.
However, what if the relationship with the mother sours? What if she cheats, uses you for your money, or takes advantage of your good nature? Even under such circumstances, it's essential to continue your mentorship role, if permitted. Today, we're facing a crisis in the upbringing of our children. The village that once helped raise our children is disappearing. Too many elders who could provide guidance are absent, leaving a void filled by a culture of violence and savagery.
In such an environment, teamwork becomes vital. While your own children should always be the priority, it's essential to reach out and guide other children when possible. This act not only helps them but may also keep your own children safe.
Gang culture often commands respect through violent acts, such as "sliding" - shooting up rival gang territories. If every adult reached out and mentored at least one child, we might lessen the pain and anger driving these children towards violence, reducing their inclination to engage in dangerous actions like shooting up blocks.
To achieve this, we need to be good stepfathers and mentors, willing to build relationships with young people and provide consistent guidance. This involvement can steer them away from gang life, building a safer, healthier community for everyone in Chicago.
