Could I bring my son down there for volunteering? Sort of a scared straight strategy?

I worked for Charles Drew homeless clinic and one location was inside the mens side and these men are NOT scary people. Most of them are as normal as you and I and they are NOT all druggies and drug addicts. Some are people who lost their job, then home and ended up there. Unfortunately, most who own their homes do not understand what one needs to move into an apt. First, you'd better have good credit, deposit equal to 1 months rent or 1st and last months rent plus current rent. Then most apts make you pay all utilities so add those deposits. A lot of the homeless work but hard to save that kind of money and care for their current daily needs. Some are the elderly, earning pensions and as and don't want to lose all of it for a senior comunity, just to be thrown out when the money is gone. I loved my job and had little fear. Now don't get me wrong, a lot have psychological issues and could be a little scary if you teach our youth to be afraid instead of explaining the truth. :-)

With all the drinks and druggies down it could work. But could back fire as well

Scaring them is an option used by some where you tell them you are going to kick them out of the house and put them at the Siena Francis House to live. The kids have to be 18 to check into Siena Francis though
