[originaltext]M: Emily, I know you’ve been the victim of a crime.W: Unfortunat

M: Emily, I know you’ve been the victim of a crime.
W: Unfortunately, yes. Once I was mugged by some young kids.
M: What happened?
W: I was going home late at night, and I couldn’t see a single person on the street. And it was winter, oh: it was so cold, so I had my scarf wrapped around my face. And suddenly I walked straight into three guys: they looked about 14 or 15. And they said something threatening, like "give us all your money, or I’m going to kill you." I looked at them, because they looked so young, and I was thinking, "What on earth were you doing?" They said blablabla, and I said, "Listen, it’s very cold. Give me a second. I have to take off my gloves."
M: You must be really scared.
W: Well I opened my purse and all I had got was a few dollars. I was so nervous that I said, "Here it is." And they said, "Four dollars?" "Yeah, it’s four dollars." And they said, "That’s all you have?"
M: So, so then what happened?
W: Well, I gave them money, and I just went home. But I felt so bad when I was walking down the street. You know I really had mixed feelings about it. I wanted to say "Guys, what are you doing? You know, go home, you are ruining your lives." And I think, "Why are those kids on the street doing things they are not supposed to do? Something stupid, really stupid. That could lead to something worse."
M: Why do you think kids get involved in stealing?
W: I don’t know, I mean it was only four dollars. You look at kids getting involved in this kind of small crime, and you think, "Who is responsible?" I don’t know what they were doing out on the street at that time of night.
M: Did you report the crime?
W: No, I didn’t. Kids like that don’t need prosecuting, and they need parenting. They need someone to put them on the right path. These kids really need, you know, help.
M: In what way?
W: Well, kids are so vulnerable. They have to have a lot of supervision. There are kids hanging on the street doing things they are not supposed to do. I think if these kids have more self-esteem, they wouldn’t behave in that way. We have to find ways to help these kinds of kids have good futures, and then they wouldn’t commit crimes.
