The 7 year old’s mother spotted the tattoo a few weeks after he had received it and called the police having both men arrested. Gorman, a friend of Gonzalez, tattooed the 7-year-old boy.

Both men were faced with many charges including an aggravated mayhem charge that was later acquitted, but were still facing many other charges.

In order to become a member of a gang, most gangs typically have new members “put on” by being beaten up by a large number of older members of the gang. After this, the new member must commit a crime and earn his stripes, either by robbing someone, beating someone up, or in other cases, shooting and killing someone. All members must prove themselves (Howell, 1998). To an outsider, it might seem crazy that a kid would want to join a gang, but to a poor inner-city kid who has very little, gangs provide a family like relationship for kids who feel they are all alone. They provide protection and respect that allows a young person to walk through his or her neighborhood and stay unharmed (Howell, 1998).

Black males have been disproportionately getting in trouble and facing ineffective punishments within the school systems. Bad Boys, based on a three-year study held by Ann Arnett Ferguson, observed daily interactions between teachers and students in order to understand the children’s self-development in relation to the school. Ann discovered that many of the issues originated from the school system, “What I observed at Rosa Parks during more than three years of fieldwork in the school, heard from the boy himself, from his teachers, from his mother, made it clear that just as children were tracked into futures as doctors, scientists, engineers, word processors, and fast-food workers, there were also tracks for some children, predominantly African American and male, that led to prison” (2). This quote represents the great influence institutions have in creating, and regulating children’s identifications. Schools, such as Rosa Parks Elementary School, are believed to be the reason these “bad boy” types of children exist.

After settling with a family, he decided to end the drug business forever.
