In response to a recent shooting incident on Sassafras Court, Virginia Beach resident Albert White is spearheading community efforts aimed at preventing youth violence. The shooting, linked to a robbery last week, involved an 18-year-old suspect, highlighting the urgent need for intervention in the lives of local youth. “It’s kind of scary because I have a 12-year-old son,” White confesses, expressing his resolve to create a safe environment for children and teenagers in the community.
White plans to host weekly events to engage young people in positive activities and encourage them to steer clear of crime. His initiative seeks to reach out to those at risk, inviting parents to participate in these discussions to foster a supportive atmosphere. “I’m just trying to help anyone who wants to be helped,” states White, emphasizing a direct appeal for community cooperation. Those interested in aiding this initiative can connect with him through social media for further involvement.
