VisionQuest has a Vision


VisionQuest has a vision to locate in Lake Worth. Ya'll come, here. The word is out...come to Lake Worth---we take anyone and everyone.

A youth shelter wants to come here and locate on Federal Highway within 500 feet of residential homes and not only that, is asking for zoning and variance changes. We gave variances to Schlesinger at the Gulfstream, didn't we? Ah but then Mojito's didn't get one.

What are youth shelters? They are homes for manipulative and very troubled youth (I'm trying to be kind) --delinquents and some dangerous and uncontrollable kids between the ages of 13 and 18 usually. These are lost kids whose own families can’t control them. They are kids who have been involved in substance abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, have mental health issues and a lot of conflict and only God knows really what. Youth centers are the last resort before reform school or jails.

And we are even thinking about that in our city?
