A groundbreaking Temple program shows Philadelphia teenagers the gruesome reality of gun violence. "Cradle to Grave" at Temple University Hospital targets its victims, the majority of whom are young, black men. In essence, it is an attempt to scare them straight, and maybe break the cycle of violence. "I think the one message is that you matter, and you only have one shot at this, and you have to protect this gift with your life," said program coordinator Scott Charles.
