Chicks for toy guns

[NewsWhore]

Dominican police chief Bernardo Santana Paez has announced a plan to give baby chicks to kids who turn in their toy weapons. According to the chief, the idea is to involve the children of six of the capital's poorest neighborhoods and "teach them the value of life". The plan is to extend the program to other areas of the country over time. The whole program falls under the aegis of the Democratic Security Plan and is a new example of preventative police work. The first barrios taking part in the program will be Los Guandules, La Cienaga, Guachupita, 27 de Febrero, Gualey and Ensanche Espaillat. Santana Paez told reporters from El Caribe that the program is based on a similar one in Colombia and other countries.
