They like me to hold their hand and walk across the street. I cross with them, I jump with them, whatever they like me to do, I do with them," Dukes said.In addition to keeping kids safe in traffic, these crossing guards are often a lifeline for kids with troubled support systems."Our families have come to rely on them," said Jadine Chou, CPS Chief of Safety and Security.
