Damilola Murder Article, Interview: Camilla Batmanghelidjh

Interview: Camilla Batman

Reporter: What do you do for a living?

Camilla: I work with the youth of Peckham, with a charity program by Kids Company.

Reporter: Could you tell us what this charity program is about?

Camilla: Well, we are looking at how the gang culture has developed, the kids don’t care about the law or the adults anymore, and the charity program is a program that hopefully will change the culture of this youth.

Reporter: Why do you think the culture of the youth have changed into being such a violent and harsh environment?

Camilla: Because the kids are bored, then they start making trouble, and they get into bad company. When they are together they challenge each other to do crimes. When they first are in this, it is very hard for them, to get out again.

Reporter: Why are the kids not are afraid of the violence?

Camilla: they are growing up in a violence culture, and their parents do not protect their kids from their surroundings. So the kids have learned to shut down their feelings and that makes them very powerful.

Reporter: thank you for talking with us, it has been very helpful for this case. Now we know why the kids wont talk with us.  Here is my card, pleas call if you hear anything about Damilola.

Camilla: I will call you if I hear anything about her. 

  The criminal culture of the youth is spreading to all
the inner cities in England.
