I think you just bring things up that they did when they were ren to just show them that theyre like everybody elsehow many broken windows there were, how many times I had a call from the neighbor, Kelce said.
They werent mean ren or bad ren; its just that they were very rambunctious, she continued. I think its just bringing them back to their hoodwhat theyre most grateful for and where they were able to have a platform to grow.
