WITH THE FOCUS on teen suicide bombers in the Middle East, it's easy to forget the young people who are dying closer to home. But violence is actually the number-one cause of death for Californians age 15 to 24. And a recent survey of San Francisco kids completed as part of the statewide Choices for Youth campaign turned up some statistics likely to frighten any parent. Thirty-four percent of the kids surveyed by the Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth Project, a Mission-based nonprofit, said they believe they could get a gun if they wanted one. Seventy-one percent said they know another young person who has been a victim of violence – and 47 percent said they know a kid who has died as a result. (Tali Woodward) |
