York the mini Philly. What do youth think?

Philly was a terrible place to grow up. My brother used to pick me up from grade school because we had a gang of boys chasing the two of us trying to bust our skulls in, no we didn't do anything them to make them chase us. It was just a every day occurrence if not every other day thing. We weave around cars , sprint through traffic, climbed over fences, jumped from porch to porch and if their door was open we run through it yelling call 5-0. Some days it took one hour to get home on a good day half hour. Around the bad parts my house was only 5-6 long Blocks straight down the street from the school. The group of boys kept cutting us off at every turn so you couldn't get away. But like I said York is a mini Philadelphia . Try opening your door late at night and find a dead body in front of your house. And you can’t put your kids out to play there either. My daughter was riding her bike up and down the Prospect street and in front of the house. She was in the middle of the block when some man ran up to her and chased her on the bike threatening her with a knife until she ran into the house. When I came out all I managed to see was the back of the man high tailing it down the street. And trying to keep my hysterical 10 year form taking a butcher knife and running him down wasn’t a picnic . Now in Philly I put my youngest out side to ride a little bike while I’m on the porch. Out of nowhere a 10 year just came down the street and pushed Sean down. I went to the mother and grandmother and they were more disrespectful then the kid who pushed my kid down. In A.D. Goode school my oldest son got jumped by a group of people on the school ground. They stomped him and try to make their pit-bull eat him, while principal saw and did nothing. How would you feel if you were me? Coming home from a long and hard day at work to find that my youngest son went to look for his older bother and my daughter stayed home to call the police and let me know what happened. I went the school I wanted to have a meeting with all the parents and principal and vice principal. One parent showed up and was worse that their child, not even the vice principal would show up. The principle denied seeing it but was caught in a lie. I tried to file charges on all those that was involved, but the police would not arrest not one. The principal didn’t get to enjoy another year at Goode school. I went to the school district and school board. I lived on queen street then but the problems didn’t stop cause I move from prospect street. Bottom line this is Philly no doubt. If you are wondering why did I draw out what I was trying to say. I wanted something better for my kids that’s why I came to York, I didn’t want them to grow up like I did always having to fight to survive. But the point is no matter where I went I couldn’t escape peoples mentality. It doesn’t matter if you live in the city or suburbs I lived in both and what I seen is that ignorance don’t stop cause you hit the boondocks. Each person has to change their own mentally and out look in life. Then and only then can you truly have world change. If you think York is not another Philly with its attitude , crime and people. Let me know one way or other.
