his and this is why kids are now dying. told me a little bit about the food the weapons that you use the choice of weapons and you would you know that it just sort of seniority that you have to have to use a certain way and following that no. one need food so what i. mean and i want to kind of last me. from something any young tom what i owe you know. being and. i want to believe how this when i you know when you think out of time snooty but on. the seniors tell the younger students the time around is a right of passage is how you prove that you're now a man. is it the intention to kill the other kids to stop what you're talking

8:47 am
a case they do up met that it's often difficult to gather evidence to convict street brawlers including those who killed audi billie. posted because. of a name that she was given at the time is the chief suspect by the police can you tell us if anybody in particular has been arrested has been questioned so being online that you were not a bunch of other guy there that i was. yeah i thought out of whack with the joke i was i just actually yeah. yeah yeah. so i was actually going to i was actually i look at it that i have and so that sounds like a dad then does that mean he's very unlikely to see anybody. brought to justice for his death. by john darwin take it as was in may.
8:48 am
with the police struggling to punish the offenders i go to richard carter high school to ask the principal how he deals with the street brawls. level and what about the much start the process but enough he didn't have the police. then. on top of the hour plus this is why we made the what stop seeing. someone and they said betty from what i hear yes and i would and i would and that he. but he is the first to admit they are struggling to understand why fight start in the first place. but the friendship turned into a gang see by. him or see. it but.
8:49 am
given all of the very nice obviously the random former pupil our freshman believes he knows the route he's written a book about his own street brawling and talks to students about how it's through his life of course. i would run a policy of it in my name but. not in anger and i'm on a banana feather mass again setting in a beer but i'm yellow. i would i'm glad that it was a bit out of yeah but it's. not my idea of the. media and that's about all that everybody got up and i don't last i love anybody. being in when we do get next to thank you. and you someone had a gun i must follow. her but i am filing with. young men what we've given. i think is about prestige about rite of passage to
8:50 am
being a man how do you stop that when it's part of the needs and culture. of another now what is going to die yet at the last minute. a bad idea i didn't go out so i get up with. my guy in the last minute i'm young. enough for life and i know it's about ghosts of what was on the bottom by data but i mean. that i'm indebted to them not enough on that i would add the added element group will be needed i'm. going to i am in every moment then get a mommy thought now i would i'm glad that it was a. problem. i would only use. two months. by the end of august is one year i'm done i will arnett one of these that i love but i know that's all i'll never understand but. this group psyche
8:51 am
means greater confidence and violent. and sometimes death leaving families broken. i come back to billy's neighborhood after a phone call from his mother. she's given up waiting for the police to find her son's killer but she struck down a friend of the boy she thinks is responsible. she's also say go with her she wants to confront his friend to see if she can find out why the boy he believes and the son lives and then we can go there. then i think. we will the rest of the way to the friend's house. or billy's mom pleads for his help.
8:52 am
so this is the friend. over the boy she believes killed her son he's now promised to take her to think about boyd to see the guy she wants to confront. the friend who was also in the brawl when billy died doesn't want to be identified but he agrees to show her the house of the suspect. and one was to get to you so how is it going to get it i'll be happy i don't have to have taken it down like a power out. well i doubt i will i know that i'm sorry that it was about. with my mom i didn't understand. what i was hired back and we honestly i don't mean
8:53 am
to do it bad i'm not saying. that i won't. go so i'm not going to but the time will be one of the year. we head into the district asking for the house of the boy she wants to confront but the friend who promised to help now says he's not sure where the boy lives so we go to the community leaders house has a lot i want to say. that at the level he has i don't. know what and why not just. because the district leader to ask for help at that would want to talk about. all of them all of them are not good not at. all going to qualify for food if you
8:54 am
go yes that was a bottom on. all your depression. yeah. it wasn't on. the phone but it was on. the problem with the. fact. that none of us knew about was that my mom doesn't know that i was. going to have. to tell papa. papa. but just moments after being told the boy she believes killed her son has been arrested she discovers it's not him. i'm. not that person out that none of us got to but i knew what i wanted to guy do
8:55 am
and we have. already started. that we don't want to see i don't i'm one of. the community leader then suggests we meet the district leader he spoke to on the phone to see if he can help track down this family. is now pinning all her hopes on the district leader. but he's not pleased to see house with her. and his mother starts to re-explain how she can only find some peace if she can confront the boy the police say killed her son but the latest says unless she has the correct address he cannot help. he is going to help.
8:56 am
me. i'm sorry sorry. very. there seems to be a general acceptance of these street brawls by many here a rite of passage for teenage boy is this attitude needs to change if these fatal brawls are to be stamped out early in the schools and the police are really struggling to work out why the tower on the breaks out and indeed how to stop these
8:57 am
boys from street fighting but that doesn't always compulsively have an impact and get through to them is a mother who's lost a song in the fight saying. yeah . you know i know. how heartbreaking biology is mother.
