Arrest made for multiple residential B&Es
On January 27, 2010 officers received an alarm call to 101 Carolyn Court in Henderson.
A patrol officer with the Henderson Police Department’s Power Shift and an officer with the Administrative Service Division were in the area. Upon their arrival, they located a black male wearing a black hat and black pullover. The subject was running across the railroad tracks in the direction of Vaughn Street.
Information was relayed to other officers responding in the area and the suspect was apprehended on Vaughn Street. Jatavious Reid, 17, of 82 Raines Drive, Henderson, was arrested and charged with felony breaking and entering, possession of burglary tools, and injury to real property.

Jatavious was just on here a couple months ago… Same mug shot and everything.

Why is this thug back on the streets?

He has essentially destroyed his life before he is old enough to be out of high school. There are no job opportunities for felons so they have no motivation to change their ways. Once he finally ends up in prison, serves his sentence and is turned back out on the streets, the only career he’ll hear calling is more crime. He’ll become part of the chronically unemployed street population, breeding more babies to follow in his footsteps.
What a waste.

Unfortunately, Warden, you are right.
The looks on the faces of these 3 scares me to death. They are so young, and just have the strangest look. Hope I never meet up with them.

oh well! People tried to help and he turned right around and did the same mess! I know his family is upset but it’s to late now. His father was nothing but great to him had him in rec sports, took him to family oriented places, took him to church every chance he could spent time with him like a father should! But where did it all go wrong? I never thought Jatavious would waste his life like this. No one in the Reid family has ever done anything like this and he should’ve been a Baker. Like #2 what a waste!!!!!

Unfortunately, peer pressure is more influencial on a teen than family influence. It is a basic developmental stage that some kids never get through. It is natural, especially for boys, to group or gang together during the adolescent stage of development. Knowing this, it becomes apparent that meeting the needs of the group would be beneficial. The word GANG scares people and anything feared has power. Those of us who actually grew up need to take action.
See those boys on the corner? Ask them, as a group, to help you do something constructive in the area they are hanging out. Befriend them if you can. Establish yourself in their minds as an open, ‘good’ person. They will listen to you and start thinking…a new concept for most of them. If we do not challenge our youth to think and do, they won’t.
Our children learn more from seeing than saying.

Warden you have got to be kidding. They probably will tell you where to go and in no short terms. They want a free ride and not work for it.

I agree with Warden. We tend to just sit back and wait for our youth to fall instead of being proactive. We have to unfold our arms and stop looking down on our youth. If you are not willing to take a stand sit down. We have this mentality that there is no hope. There is hope unfortunately there are very few of us willing to help.

Hey, Blackcat16, have you tried? I have and got no smart comments. Word are tools. Use them kindly and the results improve. However, if you aren’t truly committed to helping change things, do what you are now doing. EVERYBODY needs to feel needed and special; you’d be astounded at the number of kids who feel invisible until they get that negative attention, which teaches them the wrong lesson. Give kids something worthwhile to accomplish and it builds them. It is up to us adults to set the standards and serve as examples. Too many parents don’t, which is why we all need to work together to save these young people. It won’t help them one bit if we keep pretending we don’t have some influence over them. As scripture says, a kind word turns away wrath.

warden-
i agree with you. i’m doing wonderful things with children everyone else is afraid of. i’m getting ready to open a youth country club in one of the most pitiful little neighborhoods in town.
we’re going to offer homework help, a balanced meal with a beverage, games, computers, books, art, music, workshops and more.
look out for the call for volunteers. it’ll take the whole village to help these children.
you can tsk tsk tsk or you can do something to help. these children are a reflection on all of us here.
their parents have lost the battle. let’s bring in the support team.
