max sits in a room where visits are tightly controlled the no cameras are allowed. he can't be seen or heard all he can do is write. and this is what he says. gang life this was our foundation and what we all know. i tried to do something different and when i met daisy it was the best day of my life . i wish that they could have gone on forever. my past caught up with me. and made us all pay the price.

like max daisy grew up in south los angeles the place that used to be called south central. infamous for drive by shootings gangs and the rodney king riots. but for hundreds of thousands of families that make south l.a. their home that's just part of the story. come up with a week a thing every day. daisy grew up here the middle of three sisters in a cluster of small houses her dad bought about twenty five years ago. to get. we grew up in south central about a mile away from where the l.a.

riots started stay with. me my sisters are fresh generation americans and my family comes straight from mexico. my dad brought all his brothers and sisters with the dreams and the hopes of them having a better future rector of a cake. but it's the polish left by me that have. been never lock us up but i love familiar with. what is thought of her. in two thousand and two when daisy was fifteen the security her parents had worked for was shattered. her older sister on him was shot and killed in the

driveway of the family property. and had finished college and was just about to start a great job she was also raising two boys. the shooter was a gang member and this fact as mark daisy's life in more ways than one. welcome to having me here there are what you're going to do there. either any questions for me. to start teaching myself little bit about you. i have a bachelor's in psychology a master's in francis psychology and i in the counseling psychology program now. i have dedicated my. career to working with you that are involved in generational gang involvement and if we can help more people like that then maybe

we can prevent more victims. so he can. while she's studying for her doctorate daisy has been working as a counselor for that risk families and their kids. but it's a job that sometimes puts her in danger. see that's not good but that it will. be. spending this.

hour. and i'm going to call lists. i couldn't i couldn't get where they were from. but there will be here like causing like chaos at the park. they were throwing up their gang signs. you know i. say i would be called. max was fair he would know what to do. if daisy could call him max would know what to do. he had been

a gang member for most of his life before he became an interventionist. part of the intervention workers really really help. and. they come like as soon as they can. and try to like separate. there's just. not everybody locks or becomes a gang member in florence crown or in southwest. the lowest estimate is three percent the highest estimate is fifteen percent of the kids in those neighborhoods to become gang members. for. violent crime and gang

membership in los angeles has dropped in recent years as it has in other parts of the country. but people in south l.a. are still about three times more likely to be murdered than in other parts of the city. and summer is the most dangerous time. in the hot months when the tempers flare even a small class can turn deadly. the city hires interventionists like max to work in the parks and head off any violence. gang intervention workers still have credibility with the gas they cannot oath. to have the respect of law enforcement. and not snitches. so these guys live on their word they walk a very thin line did no one else can really fully appreciate. what

these men and women do they keep one body bag from becoming fifteen body bags. max started trying to reduce the violence about twelve years ago when he was thirty one. by that point he writes all i knew was gang life in prison and all reality i did never see me getting out. but then one day i couldn't explain to a friend's little girl why i couldn't come home for christmas. that broke my heart . and i decided i had to change. oh max and i would be walking arm. because i would just join him in his walk.

so we would just make our presence known you know with the kid with the people playing basketball inside or you know. teenagers to like to hang out in the back that wouldn't be going on and he was here let me tell you that. yeah that's what i meant they think because the max he had me talk to him on the phone regarding a client that was that i was service team but he got in their area the maximum i could be on the phone the whole phraselator. and i started doing this job i was sent out to a lot of crime scenes i saw a lot of stuff that was very difficult to deal with. it's not easy to see a kid that you've been working with you see him at school and then the you get a call and you seen with the sheet over him over a couple of years daisy and max bonded through their passion for community work.

he says i told my coworkers i'm going to marry her. and they said yeah i believe you doug i believe. they said no. no no go. say what i and then went out of their. are you spending your life. with a minimal to. my pregnancy was the happiest time of my life i never felt so full of life literally you know. there was this look in his eyes just seen him experience something new and it just brought me joy. i got

to see that little kid in. really. oh yes. oh i. said but if i thought. your kid what they say.

then the though not for me to more love is then. so you'll get out the map. but they will begin to say i meant their. let's start over on the fact that up. there yes i got on there. he. said. it's been six months since baby sarah was born. max is working on the streets daisy is studying for her doctorate and sarah has two parents who adore. me behind the gates of the family property life seems to be going pretty well. until in the middle of the night in late spring daisy wakes up to loud voices and

the sound of her door being smashed in. i couldn't move i couldn't move. i just stood over my baby because i don't want them to mess with her. it's an f.b.i. raid and it's part of a citywide sweep the feds call operation breaking bad. it was very fusing and they were just like where is it where is where he put i'm like what are you talking about. max is hauled outside where he is cuffed arrested and taken away. daisy is left by herself with her baby and several armed f.b.i. agents have some of these agents sad are trying to talk to you like they're your

friends. like you you know my wife she's had a baby she's sixteen months old and. i'm like ok so you understand how scared i am right now. i really don't know what's going on. i just. you know why you nicely. but they don't leave and what starts as a bad dream turns into a nightmare. the social workers coming in and then i look i already know when you want to call the social worker she's not leaving empty handed i really know. she came and said i'm going to have to take the baby. i'm thinking. you'd have to kill me to take my child and they were just like if you cooperate everything will be easier.

so she was like either make her bad or i could take. i don't even remember handing over. like it just. went from having her to not having her i don't even remember being. there that i was on. today and it's been four days since the f.b.i.

was here it's just hard at the. nothing makes sense everything is kind of odd so i feel as though this has been a big mistake. max is held in the federal detention center in downtown l.a. . the charges against him are for a minor drug deal three years ago before he and daisy became a couple. the f.b.i. agents told social workers they found drugs in the house based on that baby sara has been taken away to a foster home i have to find a place for her outside of this property and do some made a drug test and pending that and my people be given back to me.

they're arresting people that are charged with these you know what in the government's mind of these horrific crimes and there's kids are so the easiest thing to do is scoop the kids up put them into what the government considers a safe environment and then let the family court determine what to do with them and there's one charge against max for a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine with him on a codefendant thirty six hundred dollars was involved in the transaction and the customer turned out to be a confidential informant for the f.b.i. . the rest happens three years later because they don't want to burn the confidential informant there's all this is real typical.

max is denied bail daisy will not be allowed to see him in person for three months she will only be able to communicate with him by phone and e-mail both monitored. the raid does not produce any new charges against max but the existing charges from three years ago could put him away for life. if the case elect the bad dream if you nightmare. like some of the kids started calling would happen and. there was hardly last the matter that my big brother had had a problem. this is happening to her i handled this.

just felt like this big boy. somehow when i got an intervention worker gets arrested there's soto in it i told you soul mentality from the public. but i know what these men and women do. they're amazing human beings. but they do not walk on water. max is not allowed to discuss his case but daisy strongly denies there were drugs in the house on the night of the raid. the f.b.i. insists there was meth in the house but is not releasing any documentation to prove . i took a drug test hours after they took sarah the social worker cost me and says your

urine was too clean why did you drink so much water and i said you know why you came into my home you took my child and mice false hope . it may be. a family in this one even know. daisy who has no criminal history takes another drug test and passes it she moved her things to her aunt and uncle's house and asked the social workers to inspect it as a new home for sarah outside her old neighborhood. but as the weeks turn

into a month the baby is still not released to her or to family members like her mother and father who have applied for custody as she's not getting any answers from the county. when max decided to change his life a decade ago he could have walked away entirely from gangs but instead he chose to stay in that world to become a gang intervention worker and try to undo some of the damage he had done in his past. having one foot in one foot out his first getting them into. trying to make peace agreements between gangs you have to speak to criminals as speaking to these people will make you guilty

of a crime. him i had had many conversations about this work while we were colleagues and he said that he would give his life on the street. if it could save any of these kids. max writes if you grew up in a community where there's no violence you don't see the struggle that kids go to when they see gangs as positive like. any risk and being max's position and have everything taken away in oh i feel like he has been tainted it's like. being an intervention you have to live in both worlds you don't have a choice if you want to be effective you have to look inward ever bad we've done in

the past we're trying like atone for it. and it's not recognised and it's always the bad whatever's bad can it's first our past always hunts us. my main job is night. and managers are my children jewel and as beauties bronstein dopplers million doesn't even need to. do for the just for you just see the club. i am mentioning i've only done skin off. my nigeria on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera where ever you. al-jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of count folke abene dot. the first u.n. envoy trying to bring peace to the middle east how is negotiations with him helped save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how these mediation skills put him at the vanguard in the quest for peace in the middle east. killing the count on al-jazeera.

one of them are a calendar how these the top stories on al-jazeera sweden's prime minister is refusing to step down after his ruling center left party suffered its worst election result stephanie low phone says he's open to talks with the main center right bloc after both groups failed to get a majority coming in third where the anti immigration far right sweden democrats made significant gains jenna hull has moved from stockholm this is not like election that has drawn a new political landscape here in sweden the two to center parties much diminished but still dominant while the parties on the extremes will now have their voices heard jimi ackerson the sweden democrats leader the far right party saying

that this result made his party will have a major say in events here in sweden in the coming weeks and the coming years more than one child will die every minute from extreme hunger in war zones that's according to save the children charity is warning that starvation is not frequently used as a weapon of war most deaths are expected in democratic republic of congo where three hundred thousand children could die. for cambodian opposition leader came so karl has been released from jail he's been imprisoned for a year awaiting trial on treason charges he's accused of plotting to overthrow the government so cars daughter says he's under house arrest sudan's entire government has been sacked by the country's president omar bashir has dissolved the government and cut the number of ministries from thirty one to twenty one in a bid to tackle a growing economic crisis he's already picked a new prime minister. uganda's president has warned other countries not to

that matter to you al-jazeera. a month after an f.b.i. raid tore daisy's family apart baby sarah remains in a foster home and max remains in a prison cell. based on his prior record the prosecutors are going to seek a life sentence for the small drug dealer from three years ago. the judge doesn't have to agree to the possibility of life. but he may. they're destroying gangs workers that's the purpose of those. it's basically the

federal equivalent of three strikes. the particular judge were front of concern is that you were going away in force and at that point backs doesn't have a real bright future. desean liz start gathering letters of support for max from families he's helped over the years since he became an intervention weren't you just a stoner thank you. from the police department juvenile impact program and this is from elementary school thanking him this from the county. max's lawyer submit snidey to repay does of support letters to the court and everyone waits to hear what the judge will decide. in the meantime daisy has to keep

working through the family court system to get her baby sarah back. daisy has met every condition the social workers have given her. but without success. so maximus speak to me he would be like oh no they said that you know you should have the baby backs on but it is not know what's going on out here. and over a monitored phone line if there's so many so much you can save. at this point daisy think she might get sarah out of foster care if her younger sister claudia can get temporary custody. make any money. we had an appointment at eight at the seven fifty but cloudera will need to apply for custody from

a new house away from the family property. so daisy and cloudier are going to pool their resources to rent a house east of the city. since sarah was taken daisy is only allowed to see her twice a week her. mom really loves. me miss. you are my son. please don't take my third son there with goodnight. mom i love. oh ok you sent me a picture. ok ok thank you ok bye bye.

sorry they feel you. are serious they will. kill us they are. reading. this book three. and thinking and this happens i'm going to give her back. fast look how pretty it looks it looks like from them will leave her alone. my sister living in a nice neighborhood and home they have no more excuses they can't give me any more

excuses. it's been about six weeks now. daisy still can't understand why she's not been allowed to bring sarah home. and it's looking possible that max may never get out. we had filed everything about max in our social services are worthless in the community. the judge was not real receptive. that judge is not known for his compassion i wish the best not everybody but we're talking about a lot of time and i have. families don't survivors as families.

sara. daddy writes you this letter with tears in my eyes i'm sorry i'm not with you. to see your first steps to say bye bye. daisy there are no words in the can express what i am feeling. knowing our daughter was taken from us. i never meant to put you and sarah in the situation that i did. i don't want you to feel incarcerated with me. no matter what happens to max daisy has to keep going forward to bring sarah home

so she her sister cloudy and cloudy as husband jerry get ready to leave the family property. or the big house. or you want to stay here if at any point i feel that i'm not fighting for my family i i don't know what that would do to me so yeah every day is looking to today what came to. be here out. there that's all we're doing during those times or i feel like losing it i remember what mom. and then they realize that there is no way that i could ever imagine what she must of felt. barb might that what they must have felt to user twenty year old daughter

this they like well ok. yeah. but i. thought. lol the man of our gig pasok on a sore throat. if that levee would have a few on the call if you saw. my sister had to endure the message by then and kept it a secret. i spent with a gang member. after

a few years she decided to make a life first off. went back to school. had full time job. and he couldn't accept that. he said you're not you're not going to see another another birthing of our son. i was fifteen i was with her when this happened. he waited. for us to come home. and i said we'll then but our doors i just heard what i thought were firecrackers. and i looked over at my sister was covered in blood asking for air.

this is why i am who i am is not who i am but is why i am that way not. the good life. oh. if. she. says this. there might bring injury to one of. the reasons that happened here. me reading this if you will. just like that.

i feel violated. is absolutely not the way that i wanted my daughter to get to know the world. i want her to believe in fairy tale or sing unicorn set up believe ever after. we're going to have to hold the hopes. it's been almost two months since the raid. daisy knows the f.b.i. claimed max had drugs in the house on the night he was arrested. but now daisy's public defender in family court blindsides her with

a new accusation. the day i think i'm getting sarah back my public defender tells me that they're going to take me to trial. just like. the public defender tells daisy the social workers think she must have been hiding something because she took too long to answer the door for the f.b.i. . and i say why was this question not asked of me before i was a you don't know me you have no idea. what i've been through. i don't know how i'm going to do it but. i need another lawyer. closer like daisy sister cloudier borrow several thousand dollars from her boss and daisy uses the money to hire

a firm of attorneys who specialize in family law i went to go meet with my lawyer and he was like they have a place here with family i'm like no why. they used to court. and he was like i've been clean else like i don't use drugs so that he was even more. and then he asked me is your husband in state or federal custody a sit. and he said all. he said ok i says going. they're using your child as leverage they're trying to pressure your husband into cooperate. i felt as though someone with knowledge was. on my side now. they

cannot be making. them and. they have nothing against me they can even say i have a walking ticket. daisy's new attorney talks to the judge who also questions why sarah was not placed with family. the judge says she sees no reason for duty to be separated from sarah any longer. but the county social workers still have the final say. ok you got it. because your right saturday sunday and. i mean how do you guys try to inform over the next turquoise recall there were any business hours. after her fifth visit to family court daisy finally gets

a meeting at the county social workers offices. for daisy to get sarah back the social workers tell her max has to give up his parental rights. since daisy is still not allowed to visit max in person she has to tell him over the phone calling from. oh. he said you do and you say whatever you have to do to get babe. yonder stands that. is not something that can be stopped with any paper. it's been nine weeks since the raid max is still in detention waiting for his trial

and facing a possible life sentence he has agreed to give up his parental rights and the moment has come for the county to make a decision about sarah. it's like i don't know what the process is very very to leave you just. why do they have . exactly and so one of them called me back. hello. ok great so where do i oh ok thank you so much and all this means to me ok thank you ok bye.

so i'm picking or a bad one. i guess she needed the extra time to get her stuff ready. all right and. we can put this behind. coerced. and we're in a better place. we're in a better place for her. who live from chicago.

that almost all would be with us as we took ten. italy squad. are offering me nothing. and it's good. to. know you.

think. this is a step. step. that been a journey of a thousand miles. i'm thinking be thankful for what you have.

just stepped or sarah comes home daisy is allowed to start visiting max in person for the first time since the raid. tell her we're going to go see daddy. but that good news is short lived. out of the blue max gets hit with a new set of charges. this time it's in a federal racketeering case with thirty other people alleging that he is still active in a gang. is the indictment on its face going to have a potential for a life in prison but this is the type of thing where once again they can add that career criminal enhancement. is toast. the federal government has used record tearing laws against organized crime for years. recently the f.b.i.

has been using the same laws to sweep alleged gang members off the streets. or somewhere like oh my god so rejoice that was my first thought then i realized what this presented to me as an opportunity to be in front of a different judge the new judge gives max a chance if he pleads guilty to two of the new charges he can escape a life sentence. so like ninety seven percent of people facing federal drug charges max enters into a plea bargain. he is thankful to have a release date he is just optimistic that things will work out for us and he'll be out. for some reason i i believe him.

right after sarah's first birthday max was sent to a federal prison a few hours outside l.a. to start serving a fifteen year sentence. daisy texeira to visit him every saturday. as he finishes writing maximus i took these deals so i can go back to be with my family and prove i am a good person. i don't want to kid to see that mistakes condemn a person forever. the result but unity for change if you want it. in your. you know i guess something something wrong have to want your life for something that comes. next. and will help me get it. i graduated and i'm i'm working thanks to them.

other brother. max that they see had told me even if you've got a sure way you're going to have something a rough in the way that the nurse that you. better get up and keep on long. enough here today to talk about a communication oh boy here has been has ever been put down. what i do comes from the heart is. in the midst of your storm you meet other people that just survived their own earthquake. you admire this person. so in me helping them they help me. where there is life we can survive it all.

to stand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the. al-jazeera as we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the kind of exposure on the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok we'll send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe death by design on al-jazeera. zero. where ever you.
