A father discusses his gang past with his son for the first time

Спорт

At 19 years old, David Letele was the Auckland Mongrel Mob President. When he was sentenced to a decade in jail he wanted out of the criminal and gang world. His past has taken a toll on his whānau. This is a story about transformation

    As kids we aren't responsible for our environment at home or school. We don't get to pick n choose whether our parents were taught how to be compassionate and supportive. Our ancestors have often been raised surviving just day by day. It's time like you say that we break the cycle. No matter how hard it is we need to be responsible parents first. And when we make mistakes we admit to our children, and we teach them that failure is part of life and life ain't always easy! We just need to show them hey look I didn't get it right the first time but we can choose to learn from this and grow and evolve. Nga Mihi 🙌

    David you need to reassess your foundation, my nephews friend I recently met was gang beaten by a well known gang in your facility and has spent two weeks in middlemore hospital and is terrified to go back so he has cut his bracelet and on the run… wth.. he’s got a heart of gold and made a few mistakes and doesn’t want to go to jail either as he’s scared for his like to go back to your facility or jail because he said no he didn’t want to do there dirty work while in your facility.. maybe look into that.. that aside I’ve heard great reports about your facility so quite surprised to hear this story.. as rehabilitation available for anyone is definitely a positive him used to go forward.. but rehabilitation to prevent going to jail and just being there to avoid incarceration is wrong and needs to me monitored closely 😊😊
