Earlier we brought you the finding presented by Doctor Herbert Gale and his research Team which was presented today at a Press Conference. Already the findings have drawn criticism. We bring you the comments from two people who were at that conference today.
Daedra Haylock, Director BTIA
"There has been enough talk about it. We've heard it on the media houses. Joe has talk about it on his morning show. The morning shows have talk about it. Hearing it all in one full suit in this formal kind of setting; that's maybe new. I think what I find a little bit that I would want to know is you are focusing on these young men and they are telling you what their conditions are, in fact they don't even need to tell you, you just walk into their neighborhoods and you start seeing what the conditions are and you start extrapolating for what they must be experiencing in the home. What I think I would want to hear from the young men is ok we've gone this far on the negative run, how do we bring you back to the table? How do we bring you back to be a wholesome part of society? What is it you need from us? What kind of attention do you need? Yes we know that the housing situations need to be fix, we know that the economic opportunities need to be there, we know the education opportunities need to be there. But I guess what I would want to hear from the young men is all of these things are presented are you prepared to walk away from what you from what you are doing now? There must be some obvious benefits. He talks about the sale of the drugs on the street and the struggle for power among the young men. I would want to hear what will let you leave that? Will providing you education opportunities? Will providing economic opportunities? Would improving the conditions of your neighborhoods be strong enough to let you leave what you have already grown accustomed to."

"Joe, the administration came under criticism. Specifically the educational system. One of the presenters said that it was structurally flaud. Any comment on the presentation on a whole and anything new coming out of this presentation, out of these findings?"
Joe Bradley, Wave Radio Talk Show Host
"Ok one of the things I want to say that what we have heard today is nothing new. We've been talking about this for years. I've been hearing this for over 10 years so it's nothing new. One of the thing is that its brought to realization the problems but I think what is lacking from the whole thing is that if you have the problems what can we do to solve the problems? I think one of the things is that we need to look at the whole church state system; that needs to be revisited and another thing is that we need more supervision as it relates to the education system. I don't think the system has problems. It has work, I am a product of this education system, and I have a whole family, a successful family who is a product of this education system. I think it's the implementation is the problem."
The research covered more than two thousand interviewees .
