Dirk father of two young children: Dirk participated in a 24/7 dad class. Dirk’s father was a gang member, and he had followed in his footsteps. The class showed Dirk the impact of his actions on his two young children. He decided he did not want his children to have a father like he did; he wanted something better for his children. After taking the class, Dirk gained full custody of his two children. Dirk said, “24/7 dad was a changing point in my life.”
