Police Captain Mike Utz states the focus was underage drinking. Robert Gonzales of the Family Impact Team cites lack of parental involvement as a core issue. He brought about 20 boxers to learn about alcohol effects and to find constructive activities. Gonzales notes boxing kept youths away from trouble but urges stronger parental engagement. Sheila Lane of Bernadine Sitts Intermediate Center echoes the need for parental responsibility and role-model behavior to deter underage drinking.
