Ten years ago, video producer Jack Schmidling began constructing a woodland, a prairie and a wetland in the small backyard of his Chicago bungalow. Now his miniature ecosystems attract a wealth of winged wildlife, from birds to butterflies. While Schmidling is delighted, some of his neighbors are not. Although the enclave is concealed behind a high fence, they have reported him to the city, charging that his secret garden is an overgrown mess...

Now, as he stalked furiously back and forth across the grimy patio behind a cramped bungalow in the Little Phnom Penh section of Long Beach, he saw a very different threat materializing -- within his own family. His 14-year-old son, gang-named Flipper, and another homeboy, Slicc, 18, were bragging to a stranger about a shoot...
