“Today it’s too easy for kids to get ahold of somebody’s gun or buy their own and that’s how they are handling it,” Steve McPherson said. “My grandson made some poor choices and ran with the wrong friends and ended up in juvenile,” McPherson said. “My youngest Scottie had probation issues, so I came to learn different parenting styles,” Carrie Martin said. Martin said her youngest son is a foster child and she wanted to learn better ways to understand what he is going through and how to better communicate with him.
