Hearing all about la vida loca Volunteer lends an ear and support as gang members and other youths tell their stories By ZEKE MINAYA Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle

Steve Campbell Photos / Chronicle From left, Noe Soriano, Joy Maldonado, Mohammad Sepulveda and Diana Longoria attend volunteer Amanda Escobedo's session on avoiding gangs during a Houston Police Department workshop. The boy lifted his shirt and showed Amanda Escobedo red welts that crossed his back. The 16-year-old gang member who never smiled had gotten into another argument with his father. Escobedo got angry and got on the phone.

Gangs do not like it when their members get poached.

She had better watch her back.
