“There is no respect among us. If you go into these communities you will see parents talking in any kind of way to their kids. Cursing. Just doing evil things,” said a neighbor.
He says he believes Memphis has a crime issue because no one is teaching respect.
“We as a community have got to unite together and fight this crime,” he said.
