From the age of nine, I was on the streets. This came about because I was being rude with my parents and I was moving things without their permission, like money. So my stepfather didn't like what I was doing and he didn't like me, so he eventually put me out on the streets. My mother was always sick, and my father--I never met him. While I was on the streets, I used to sleep in old abandoned vehicles. Galen 'Ninja' Nordelus former leader of the Public Terrorist Rebellions through Milton Street

Before I was born my father disowned me. You know those ones who get the females pregnant, and then say the baby is not theirs? He rejected me, told my mother that I am not his child, so I never had a relationship with my father. Shelton 'Apples' Burrows reform gang leader

The majority of us were from single parent family homes. You could have counted the fellas on your fingers that had a mummy and a daddy at home. Anthony 'Ada' Allen, one of the former leaders and founders of the Rebellion Raiders
