Concerned dads patrol high school, spate of fights suddenly end: 'People started going to class'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Louisiana fathers are taking matters into their own hands after repeated violence broke out in one school, where 23 students were arrested over just a three-day period.

"We're dads. We decided the best people who can take care of our kids are who? Are us," father Michael LaFitte told CBS News.

LaFitte launched a group called Dads on Duty, sparking 40 fathers to sign up and take shifts at Southwood High School in Shreveport to maintain a peaceful environment.
...
The outlet noted that there have been no instances of violence since Dads on Duty launched in September, and some students said their presence has helped the environment at the school.

"I immediately felt a form of safety," one of the students said. "We stopped fighting; people started going to class."
...
The fathers said they will keep with the program indefinitely and would like to start chapters throughout Louisiana and even the country.

"Because not everybody has a father figure at home – or a male, period, in their life. So just to be here makes a big difference," the dads told CBS.'
