ATLANTA -- Gangs now have a new way into your home and gang leaders can be recruiting your children right now.

Local gang members are going online to recruit metro Atlanta kids. Do you know what your child’s Myspace page looks like? Would you know what a gang’s letters looked like if they were staring you in the face? You want to be asking your children questions to keep them safe.

CBS 46 News saw YouTube video was made by local gang members who claim to control Buford Highway.

Some music videos your kids are watching are made by some of our area's larger gangs, but new, smaller groups spring up all the time.

Authorities in Gwinnett have identified between 175 and 200 different gangs in that county alone. From Duluth and Dacula to southwest Atlanta, no community is immune.

John Houston, a parent and FBI agent, is most concerned about gang activity spilling into the schools, ultimately affecting his children and your children.

“Gang recruitment has stepped up in regard to use of the internet technology,” said Houston.

Houston heads up the FBI'S gang task force.

“We've seen recruitment at very young ages elementary school, middle school, high school obviously,” said Houston.

Some notebook pages were seized from Fulton County Middle School students. It's not harmless doodling. The letters RSL stand for a local gang.

A young female student wrote "I love the red. Will die 4 the red." Red is her gang's color. She also drew a picture of a gang member smoking marijuana. He wears a red bandana with the Roman numeral 14, her gang's number. Those pages are from 12 and 13 year olds who glorify their gangs.

In a recent nationwide sweep, Atlanta ranked third for gang arrests outranking New York City, Chicago and Dallas. The Buford Highway corridor through DeKalb and Gwinnett counties are now notorious for gang activity. But it's also in places parents might not expect like suburban Sandy Springs.

At Ridgeview Middle School, police say they’ve collected gang items from students. Police tell CBS 46 known gang members also attend Sandy Springs Middle School and Riverwood High School.

Despite what police have told us and shown us, a Fulton County schools spokesperson says there are no gang issues in their schools.
