The Stanislaus County Insider
ALERT
A publicly Accessible Gang Database.
Stanislaus County has between 10,000 and 12,000 gang members. Over 5,000 are documented. To put these numbers into perspective, gang members in our community represent a higher number than the entire population of Denair, Del Rio, Westley, Grayson, Hickman, and Hughson combined.
Gang members previously confined to cites such as Los Angeles and Oakland are making their way to the valley, and into Stanislaus County. One can’t pick up a local newspaper of visit a local website without reading something related to gangs, and if you live in a gang infested area as I do, all you have to do is open your front door to see and feel the presence.

Opinion
Help parents by making child support tax deductible.
The national divorce rate is approximately 57 percent, but those stats do not include California. Using California statistics from years 1996 through 2003, the average divorce rate in California is around 70 percent.
As of 2009, California’s child support system is the biggest in the nation. Representing 1.6 million cases. More than 10 percent of the federal caseload of 15 million. Los Angeles county alone serves more child support cases than the state of Georgia.
Parents are asking that legislation be introduced to make child support tax deductible. They aren’t asking to stop paying, they are asking for help so they can continue to pay. Fathers that I have spoken to are good parents, actively involved in their children’s lives. Let’s provide a tax break to the hundreds of thousands of good parents who are stepping up to the plate and meeting their child support obligation.
