"They walked into my office today and asked for a job," Heard said. "I said 'why do you want a job?' They said 'so we won't get in trouble and we do not want to be in a gang!' I said 'have people approached you about being in a gang' they said 'yes mam!' I hired them on the spot! The streets will not have our children!"

Heard's post has been shared more than 600 times as of Monday morning.
