Sebastian and Carolina moved from southern Texas to Oklahoma City over two years ago. Carolina?s mother Maria lived in southern Oklahoma City, along with Carolina?s three brothers, two sisters, and nine nieces and nephews. Once Sebastian?s job gave him the option to move up to Oklahoma, they took it. They moved to the city thinking it would be a better place to raise their three young children. They had heard how safe it was. Southern Oklahoma City is quite different than other areas of the city. Oklahoma City itself, while only ranking around 30th in the country for total population, ranks as high as seventh for total land mass. At one point in the middle of the century, it was the second largest city by landmass, following only Los Angeles. It is a large city geographically. This is made possible by the strong automobile culture in the plains states. With more land available and cars to connect people quickly, things are more spread out in the center of the country. That?s why the different neighborhoods in Oklahoma City are so separated and distinct. Southern Oklahoma City is home to the state?s largest Hispanic population. All of central and south America is represented. Lining the streets are grocery stores and flower shops proudly displaying the flag of the storeowners? country of origin alongside the American flag. It is truly a colorful area. Yet it is also, unfortunately, an area attractive to young gangs. Sebastian grew up in San Antonio. He knew all about the attractiveness of gang membership to a young Hispanic boy in a foreign country. He was born in the United States and had in fact never been to Mexico, where his parents were born; so he didn?t feel as foreign as some of his friends growing up. He easily resisted the urge to join a gang. Once he landed a good job outside of San Antonia, met Carolina, and started a family, his early childhood became a distant memory. However, moving to southern Oklahoma City immediately reminded him of his adolescent days. Within four weeks of arriving, and two weeks in their new home, Sebastian and Carolina became victims of a home robbery. It was obviously done by amateurs?the robbers only took the Playstation?but it nonetheless convinced Sebastian that he had to do more to protect his family. ?Sebastian bought a home security system and had it installed immediately. He had not been cognizant before of the need for home security in the area. During the daytime the neighborhood appeared so colorful and cheerful. It didn?t occur to him that not having a home alarm system was putting his home and family in danger. Yet he was unwilling to move his family away from Carolina?s family and into the quiet suburbs. This part of town made his family happy. Sebastian and Carolina decided to take home security into their own hands. They armed their home with the latest security technology and were able to remain in the neighborhood that they loved. They refused to flee the neighborhood but instead decided to take action. They protected their home.
