11 yr old boy shot dead in Croxteth - steve the youth worker wonders what you think?

I am sure many of you will have heard by now that an 11yr old boy has been shot in Croxteth, Liverpool.

I think it is the youngest ever kid to be killed in this way in Liverpool.

sadly Liverpool is once again in the news for a bad thing to do with young people.

Thankfully projects like Refugee action, Powerhouse, travellers projects, ICDC, BYPP, liverpool Youth service do show the wonderful things young people in Liverpool can do.....but... I just wondered what you, as young people, thought about this type of killing...

Do the papers and news only cover BAD things about young people in the City?

young people are the ones who suffer most in terms of violence etc so what can young people do about it?

Is it out of control? or is it just that the papers / news only cover the bad stuff

what can young people do about it?

and i suppose a difficult question... IF you knew someone who had killed another young person WOULD YOU report them..or would you say 'never grass'???

if that was your brother / cousin / child who had been killed would you want people to come forward and tell the truth?

anyway I just thought i would post this to get you thinking and hear what you have to say.
