The Myrtle Beach area has been suffering juvenile crime. Who are the mentors in the area?

The Sun News has been reporting on youth crime in the Myrtle Beach area.

We have heard from public officials, but have struggled to talk to people who work with teens–the age group committing the majority of the crime in our communities and making the public less safe.

The Sun News reached out to Ryan Grace of the Boys and Girls Club.

Ground Zero, a youth ministry in downtown Myrtle Beach, was unavailable for comment after leaving multiple voicemail messages, emails and a Facebook message.

Sea Haven for Youth declined to comment on youth violence, stating it was out of their area of expertise.

Now, we are looking to our readers to tell us who are the most influential figures in the Myrtle Beach area who address teen violence and the young people committing it? Reach out to us by email at whammond@thesunnews.com or give us a news tip here.
