- A concerned mother messaged me concerned that her son had joined a gang and has been trying all she can to dissuade him. This was my 4th such call this month.
So we decided to document this conversation to speak with the youths to see what it is they’re going through and what options we can provide. This is with mums permission of course. So going forward we will be organising a forum and phone number parebts can contact to seek help and organise preventative measures and opportunities that are our there for the young people

I enjoyed this. I'm 20 years old; 6 years ago I made a few mistakes which put my career at jeopardy by making stupid choices I never needed to make. Any young men reading this; the streets are not worth it. Anyone who chills on the block is a bum. Go play football or hit the studio. Get a real job. Have some respect for your family. We are in the UK; a first-world country with real opportunity. There's no excuse to be behaving like we're from the trenches because we are not, even if we live humble and can't afford to buy Prada or Goyard... it's not all about designer.

All due respect brother you most likely ain’t lived a dog like life then you just wanted to do this street thing cause it was fun or for gyal bro i ain’t saying im a bad man on road and bs but me personally I grew up in the roughest area bro and I wasn’t acting bad I was a very quiet kid who didn’t fight argue etc bruva I had the hardest time in school not cause I didn’t understand it or owt cause of the teachers cause I use to get jumped for no reason by my own family by their friends to had family members (counsins) who I use to have heavy problems with for absolute no reason (btw I’m a only son and my counsins are 6 brothers in 1 family and I was younger than them all) every opportunity they use to batter man use to get heavily bullied by them and all their older brothers even random man in school and mosque cause of them cause they seen me as a weak person with no elder to protect him no older bro nothing before you say it yes I have both parents in my life but both never stuck up for me I guess I can say they knew it was all happening but did nothing grew up in a very deprived area ethnically not British use to have beef with man for no reason had lots of problems in my own house never got along with my parents or sisters and seen the maddest things seen man get their legs chopped off rammed off the road shooting stabbing in my street whatever else bs I had suicidal thoughts like really bad ones cause I had nobody to talk to nobody to share anything with nobody to look out for me nobody to understand me I was always alone and use to just be in my own head and on top of all that I use to get jumped battered in my own home and out side nobody really cared like that about me but I guess well I manned up and hopped on road and I’m NOT ENCOURAGING IT I’m just saying MY EXPERIENCE but Yh hopped on road and met my bruvas who looked out for me and me them and I don’t mean manipulation or bs na bro in terms of everything looked out for me in beef in money in gyal whatever had each others back put their freedoms on the line for me and I did the same and then one day came them same cousins of mine tried it with propa beef ting and when 40 man pulled up outside yard im getting apologise and calls saying we should be cool we’re counsins this that and man left them bruva these were the same man who use to batter man but I ain’t gonna say nothing what happened after that in his own house and nothing not I see these same man and they shake my hand and still say sorry till this day 😂but bruva all im saying is in your circumstance the way you put it you hopped on road by choice I never hopped on it by choice I couldn’t live with my self anymore bro cause I was weak mentally finished I wanted death but I instead took the violent root cause i had no choice but since all the beefs died down and I got them punks sorted stopped all the money making hopped off road now btw im 21 years old and now following my religion and working out a career im not encouraging any road life im just saying is if you think nobody’s got your back and you’ve got a family like mine and had a life this shit bruva move through move forward make money and when you’ve made your money move out forget everyone who wronged you and if it wasn’t for my bruvas who looked out for me even if we ain’t blood they looked after me like we are and that’s blood till the end but I thank my lord for saving me otherwise rn I’ll be honest I most likely would be in jail doing a decade for some dumb street bs
This is great, Bobby, I'm glad parents feel the need to contact you and others like you who've changed their lives after being on the roads and understanding the ins and outs of that lifestyle, instead of the police who are primarily interested in and tasked with arresting young boys - which isn't ending the cycle of street violence nor is it an effective form of re-habitation. Had this mum called the police on her son, maybe he would've been shipped off to prison for being in possession of rambo knives; he then may have met people inside who are on what he's on and became gassed off of them. If there's anything I've taken away from this video is that we *need* a strong sense of community. A community that, by demonstration, can help override the feeling that people have to contact the police for "help," instead of members of said community that is organized around shared principles of care. Keep up the intervention.
this guy ain’t no bad boy. he’s a fake. Should let him learn the hard way, he probably won’t listen thinking he knows everything
How amazing Bobby to help these young people, you are the kind of person that should obtain an MBE
Even Russ millions said when he spent 1 night in jail he knew he was never going back from that day, that’s how bad it was
@big ego media .
As a white male growing up in south London in the 70s this sort of gang culture wasn’t around us .
We were poor as were others on our estate , blacks and whites , and all races played happily together , run ups , knock down ginger , football , cricket , and doing what the youth , should be doing …happy times ..
It’s such a shame where the youth of today are with gang violence .
I never really post , however this guy Bobby , what an absolute lovely human being .
Take notice of this man you young ones .
Bobby to take time to help these youths , is amazing .
I wish you all the very best in helping the future of our capital .
Good luck , and I will keep an eye out on this one with very keen interest .

Very true being was not an excuse.
They just want the easy life and actually enjoy what they are doing but pretend it’s because of poverty
@@Silkysmooth-qk5nc this is very true. No one in London is in the trenches, the UK provide benefits for anyone who is not working. These young people need to travel abroad to witness real poverty where people do not have a plate of food and live in a shack, 🙁
This guy reminded me of my dad…and i will forever be grateful i had a role model like him in my life. I’ll be honest alot of it went through one ear n out the other…but what it did was install consciousness into me..not sure i realised it at the time but i owe my life to my mother & father…Now i am a father…seeing this reaffirmed me - powers king ! Respect to you for doing this ! 🫡💯
Well done Bobby, you are a legend. May God bless you ❤
Words of wisdom 🙌🏿 👏🏿
Not how it was 15 years ago bro alot of man don’t even have ogs majority youngers don’t even listen to the olders no more they all got their own batches tryna make name for themselve
Most mans OGs are wet ak. Man said listen to some washed up bums who still throw in dives to get a score😂.
Ogz taught us shit they did when there was barely any cameras.
This work is commendable. 👊🏾
Keep up with the good work bro 👏
When you allow, a person’s limitations to become your limitation,the outcome is limited! But when, you own your limitations,the outcome is limitless.
You was talking facts still 💯
Not GM just an idiot. Got a mother who loves him clearly going down the wrong path when he’s got people there to lead him down the right one
Wish there was a way out sometimes
Bobby a legend man big up
I’m here to learn
Big up bobby man 👏🏿
Face Time talking about your mum told me you got 3 rambos in the yard, and him saying he gonna use it is MindGames, your censoring what we see, but using a mobile phone, lets not incriminate ourselves in any type of way or be mindful about what you say.
What the hell has happened to African parenting???
An African parent calling an ex gang member for help with her son??
We really have fallen
This is not a diss to Bobby , just an observation on how the black family especially African one has completely fallen
SYM
How comes new generation a lot of kids from Africans households are main ones jumping on road . I was told their culture is better because they have 2 parents homes , dislike slackness , education over sports and don’t promote badness unlike Caribbeans etc . This why divide diaspora war stuff is stupid and fake all of us are facing issues as collective as black ppl . we need good role models in community . Our culture of being a bad person , making fast money you get ratings . We make Bare excuses everyone got hard life , don’t mean gotta do crimes. Even me I’m early 20s but company made me have talks in schools to give advice to get in the industry I work in .
Hope kid in video can change it around.
This new gen of Africans are copying degeneracy, statistically most come from two parent households and more likely to go to uni than their white British and Afro Caribbean counterparts, notice what lingo they use when they wanna be bad?
It's an old outdated stereotype from the 90's and early 2000's that Africans are less prone to falling into this. Back then their population was much smaller but now they have over taken the Caribbean's in numbers so now you got all different types.
Know yourself boy🤬
Where is his Dad?
The gang is his dad.
Lol these man don't know their dads. Typical cycle
