[00:04.71]Rather than trying
[00:05.49]to keep these wild teenagers out,
[00:08.20]Camila made a highly courageous decision:
[00:10.99]that she should open her doors to them too.
[00:14.46]But the experiences convinced
[00:16.11]that they would never response to the authority
[00:18.24]of middle class social works.
[00:20.40]So again she made a very unusual decision
[00:23.51]to recruit as careworkers young men
[00:26.25]who were themselves ex-gangsters
[00:28.45]and drug dealers,to whom these youngsters
[00:30.93]would be better able to relate.
[00:33.62]"Of course,it was very difficult at first
[00:36.28]-there was a lot of conflict between ourselves
[00:38.50]and these young men
[00:39.39]who were working in the centre.
[00:41.30]In some ways they were much strict than us.
[00:44.13]When youngsters broke the rules,
[00:45.27]they wanted to take them outside
[00:46.50]and pick them up.
[00:47.96]But eventually,I think,we learnt to coexist."
[00:53.16]Three retired women on a day trip to France
[00:55.49]attacked and disarmed a man
[00:56.94]who attempted to steal their car and gunpoint.
[01:00.13]The women were sitting in their car
[01:01.60]when the thief pointed a loaded gun
[01:03.40]through the window
[01:04.38]and tried to grab the car keys.
