Parents Fight Over Which Gang Toddler Should Join

[Trithemius]

Man, I feel sorry for this kid, being raised by these two pathetic losers. If they're allowed to continue raising him, he won't have a chance. He'll likely end up dead before he's out of high school.

His girlfriend told police that they had been arguing about the upbringing of their son and which gang he should belong to. The teen mother, who is black, is a member of the Crips. Manzanares is Hispanic and belongs to the Westside Ballers gang, the woman said.

"They have different ideas on how the baby should be raised. Basically, she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would 'claim,'" Sandoval said.

what a couple of dumb****s!

I should hope that social services gets involved and takes the kid out of the situation.

I have no tolerance for foolish gangs.

[bellamandu]

wow.

[Sacredsin]

What sillyness! Obviously they should just let the kid decide when its older. No one should be forced to wear colors or run with people they don't wish to.

Egawds... why are different gang members dating each other? Thats fraternisation with the enemy.

[Chaos Hawk]

What DAT's. I just wonder why the issue came up. It said the child was 4.

[Sacredsin]

Because..kids are born into gangs even seen as a part of the gang as soon as they're born in a lot of cases. I'm surprised they waited this long to battle it out actually.

[Chaos Hawk]

That was my point. You'd think that this would have been an issue from the time she was pregnant. I was wondering why it suddenly became an issue 4 years later.

[Sacredsin]

I don't know..probably issues not even relating to the gang I'm sure.

[Sequoia]

Wow. This has got to be the stupidest thing I've read yet today.

guess neither of them understand the value of freedom. Its amazing how people will give away something so valuable.
