Thanks Dale Waldo for this important information which more Americans need to know. The gangs reach into almost every corner of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. This is a link to the entire Arizona Republic project titled, Pipeline of Children. Its an exhaustive look at the children fleeing Central America for the United States. One day in May, seven gang members boarded a public bus in San Salvador, El Salvadors capital. They were looking for two members of a rival gang. But they fired indiscriminately at passengers, killing six people and wounding a score of others, including a 2-year-old. On that day alone, 31 people were murdered in San Salvador. The city averaged more than 12 murders a day in June, according to federal police. The gangs are in schools, neighborhoods. Theyre everywhere, said Alison Ramirez, who works on a U.S.-funded, violence-prevention project in El Salvador and frequently visits Honduras and Guatemala. Even if the kids dont want to be a part of it, they get caught up in the crossfire, extorted, threatened.
