The Credible Messengers Program will be administered through a division of Promise Neighborhoods. That organization and administrator represent the Defund The Police mentality. For this mentality to be endorsed by the mayor, and condoned by the police chief, is a sad indicator of Allentown's future. In my opinion, both of them might themselves need mentors.
Years ago such youth were helped by Big Brothers. Now everyone, instead of volunteering, wants to be paid through supposed non-profits. Bad behavior has become a growth industry.
With posts like these I won't be invited to the Community Pat On The Back Fests. But, someone has to wave the Caution Flag.
Another brilliant (money wasting) idea in Allentown's "Poverty for Profit" program(s). That's all.
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to watch or even read what our city government does and choses not to do. As will all one party urban areas, the actions taken by our elected officials seemed designed to lead only to more waste, more chaos, more lost lives, and more flight. If this is their goal they have a great rate of success.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine in another town volunteered for Big Brothers and the interview process was so complicated and long and they’re so terrified of child abuse that they finally turned him down.
