I don't know anything about Neil Nunn's past, and I don't know enough about the sociology of it to speak expertly on issues of impoverished minority neighborhoods.

That said, Nunn's hometown is listed as West Perrine, FL, where according to Wikipedia, 52% of children under the age of 18 live below the poverty line.

I do know that one of the big issues in poverty is child care - kids way too young being left to their own devices because the parents have to work and can't afford to get their kids into supervision. Poverty also requires parents to work more than one job or extra hours just to make ends meet, which means the parents are around less and the kids are on their own more often. (This is a reason some kids end up in gangs.) This is a general statement, not a statement about Neil.

I also don't know anything about your past. But, guessing from the Demographics of this board, you did not have a similar upbringing, at least in terms of location.
