Gang expert to US court on Chicago school closings: ‘Likely a child will be shot and killed’

Published July 17, 2013 Associated Press

CHICAGO –  Chicago children displaced by public school closings may be forced to step into the line of fire between warring street gangs as they walk to their new schools each day, a gang expert told a U.S. judge who will rule on a request that he stop planned closings in the nation’s third largest school district.

Taking the stand for lawyers opposed to Chicago Public Schools’ recent decision to shutter about 50 public elementary schools, John Hagedorn also testified that rival gangs already are posting warnings on Facebook for the incoming children from other neighborhoods to stay off their turf.

“It’s already aggravating gang conflicts,” he said about the pending closings. And if the closings ahead, added the University of Illinois at Chicago professor, “It is likely a child will be shot and killed.”

Gangs often are blamed for Chicago’s high murder rate, which topped 500 in 2012 — the first time since 2008 it hit that mark. The murder rate has declined in 2013, with about 200 murders as of early July.

But recurring Chicago violence has made national news this year, especially after the shooting death of 15-year-old honor student Hadiya Pendleton about a mile from President Barack Obama’s Chicago home.

Gang violence is more chaotic than ever as their hierarchies crumbled over the past decade, breaking down top-down control of 20 or 30 years ago, splintering gangs and leading to infighting within gangs, Hagedorn testified Wednesday.

“The old times where one gang controlled one neighborhood are gone,” he said. “Those changes are what make it especially dangerous to children.”
