Odds are he'll get his first stabbing (wether he recieves or gives is TBD) around 14 and then his 1st Glock at 16 or so. Jail a few times between 14 and 16.

But who knows. Maybe the kid will get taken away from his dad and put into a decent foster home and he will become a productive member of society. Either way his father probably did him a favor. He gets mad rep in whatever gang he would join for having a tat at a young age or he'll get good loving parents that will push him to do well in school.

I could be wrong (it has to happen sometime) but I think the tat will cause more problems then good. You have to be jumped into a gang right? As a teen he could be doing well for himself in school with dreams of being a doctor, then a gang member sees the tat and takes him out.

I don't think the guys that get jumped will like the fact that he just had the tat put on without earning it.

And the prize fighting is to get away from crime, not fighting.

He doesn't need the foster parents (that could help) but he needs to want to do something with his life. A strong role model in his life can help him get there.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to play sports. It can keep kids out of trouble. It can also get them in schools they could never afford to attend any other way.

But you said the right thing. He needs to be taken away from his father. You are not fit to be a parent if you give a child a gang tat.
