Dads Spend Time At Louisiana High School After 23 Students Were Arrested Due To A Series Of Violence
After 23 students were arrested in three days at Southwood high school over fights, a group of dads came together and created a movement called “Dads On Duty.” A group of about 40 dads who take shifts spending time at the school to help maintain a positive environment to learn, instead of fighting.

Students have spoke out saying “Dads On Duty” is actually working and there hasn’t been a single fight since the Dads have been at the school.
“We’re dads. We decided the best people who can take care of our kids are who? Are us,” Michael LaFitte, who started Dads on Duty, shared.
The parents are making sure if there is any negative energy in the building there talking and coaching the kids how to look past simple arguments that can lead to something to hurt their future.
“I immediately felt a form of safety,” one of the students said. “We stopped fighting; people started going to class.”

“You ever heard of ‘a look?'” one student asked while describing a “power” they said all dads have.
Of course it wouldn’t be a group of Dads if they didn’t crack “dad jokes”
“They just make funny jokes like, ‘Oh, hey, your shoe is untied,’ but it’s really not untied,” a student commented.
“They hate it! They’re so embarrassed by it,”LaFitte said of the students.
