Three More "Breaking News" Crime Reports - The Rest of the Story
 

It's been hard to keep up with all the crime on the West Side today, as reported by the

Chicago Breaking News Center

. I quickly made a map using the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC)

Online Program Locator

- and helps me visualize resources and programs that work to mentor "at-risk" youth now, so that in a few years, when the kids are old enough to potentially mug someone on the Green Line to Oak Park, or faced with gang members that offer to put guns in their hands, more of them might have better career prospects and decision-making skills... and opt against crime and murder. Once again, the news shocks us with the

problem

today. At T/MC, we're creating tools that work for the

solutions

.
