“There are so many things we’re not learning in this Glenville neighborhood. We’re not learning how to de-escalate situations when things occur... A lot of our kids are losing their lives to gun violence because of disrespect.”
CLEVELAND, Ohio - A Cleveland man is encouraging city kids to put down the gun and pick up a hammer as a way to combat street violence.
“I wanted to get these kids in here because around 12 years old that’s when you start wanting your own money. If you don’t give these kids something to do around that age, they’ll find something in the streets to do,” Singleton said. “There are so many things we’re not learning in this Glenville neighborhood. We’re not learning how to de-escalate situations when things occur,” he said. “A lot of our kids are losing their lives to gun violence because of disrespect.”
