About 70 people attended a forum in Wausau last night on keeping kids safe in the wake of a gang-related stabbing death three weeks ago. Police and school officials spelled out what they do to protect young people -- but they said parents must do their part, as well. Police said the incident began when rival gang members argued with each other on Facebook -- and a 19-year-old woman then drove seven boys to a fight where a 15-year-old boy was waiting with a knife. Thirteen-year-old Isaiah Powell was killed. At last night's community forum, parents were told to get involved with their children's lives by knowing what they do -- who they associate with -- and what they post online. Officials said parents do their kids no favors by giving their children too much privacy and independence at such a young age. Almost everyone raised their hands when asked if their kids had cell phones and computers -- but very few raised their hands when asked if they knew their kids' usernames and passwords. It was also suggested that police and schools reach out more to Wausau's Hmong community.
