Tips For Parents
RECOGNIZING TAGGERS:
Taggers:  They tend to be male (although females have been known to tag as well), between the ages of 12 and 37.  They run in groups called "crews."
Crews or "Krews":  They have names like Deep Destruction, Tone Quest, Highway Knights, etc.  They may identify themselves through the group's initials (DD, TQ, HK).
Nicknames:  Each tagger uses a unique symbol, mark or nickname; no two nicknames are the same.
Clothing:  Taggers usually wear baggy pants or shorts.  Special pockets are often sewn into them to hold paint cans, markers, and/or paint sticks.
Accessories: Backpacks - referred to as "tag bags" - can carry paint and supplies like etching tools, paint cans, paint tips, markers, etc.
Motivation:  Taggers say that they are "addicted" to tagging - to the attention and recognition, as well as the "rush" from doing something illegal and getting away with it.
