House v. Home

On July 23, 2007, Lynn Community Connection had a breakfast meeting regarding Child Abuse at Lynn Housing Authority. During Deputy Kevin Coppinger's speech of Lynn Police Dept., he mentioned the difference between living in a house v. home. He said," A house has four walls with a roof over your head. It's a place you live and get a meal once in awhile. Whereas, in a house, there's a parent or parents who cares for you, watches over you, provides you with love, shelter, and food. Without these basic values in a home, our youths are turning to gangs to get these values."  

Although gangs are an uprising issue in Lynn, we can work together as a community to help teens make better choices.
