I've a situation specific question. I think that this is a great idea and plan to use it. The children that this will involve, however, are generally quite poor. I'm talking about children in public housing, Section VIII housing, and in the very poorest parts of town. There are gangs in the area and children cover many nationalities (white, black, Korean, Mexican, and many others. There is a good deal of hostility to the court system in many of these children due to family involvement as well as involvement of friends and even sometimes the children themselves. I'm wondering if you've ever tried using this activity with such groups and if any modifications of the activity became necessary to keep down hostility in the children?
