- At 19 years old, David Letele was the Auckland Mongrel Mob President. When he was sentenced to a decade in jail he wanted out of the criminal and gang world. His past has taken a toll on his whānau, including his son Dave Letele aka The Brown Butterbean. This is a story about transformation - Hikurangi Jackson with this emotional watch.
A Father should always tell his son he loves him. Don't wait till it's to late.
Amen!!!
It's not that easy for people who've been through hardships like Big Dave has. We can sit here and say "But it is" but it really isn't. You are right though we need to tell our kids we love them everyday but I understand 100% where he's coming from as I had the same kindve relationship with my father and that's where I learnt to love my son harder than my dad ever loved me.
My dad has never said it to me.
@@NoOne11279 that's sucks dude, I hope someday soon he does.
The Brotha Dave Latele my coach and captain and fellow inmate in Hautu prison farm Tongariro 1987-88 he was finishing a ten year stint for armed robbery and meet his future wife a prison warden at the time we were incarcerated. I was a 19 year old 'no it all' and was a young patch member for the mob and saw Dave as a strong, capable leader with his wisdom and cultural literacy and sensitive mannerism towards Maori (he Samoan) which was unique and refreshingly inspiring. He was also a fitness person and introduced me to rugby league. Never forget this real genuine man awesome clip.
Nice 👍 One
He seems a good man.
Grow up u a little boy in a grown mans body
Don’t know the old fella personally but once looked up too his crew and his name was of legend I’m glad iv taken that off ramp 🙏🏽
two great men doing amazing things here we see true courage I wish it was like that with my dad
What an awesome story. 👍😁
Whatta great story. Great interview
I love this. Real men having real loko for eachother. Always have the conversations thats needed with our kids hand in hand with the conversations thats wanted. Fathers and sons relationships can sometimes be made hard by the past. I wish i had more of these conversations with my father that raised me who has now passed. Watching this, makes me want to find and build a relationship with my real father that i do not know.
Nice story.. thanks for sharing...
Awesome whanau, sending heaps of love & support. I’ve been through the same thing myself with my son’s. Being a better dad & husband is what’s important.
Still waiting for the day, when Tamariki paint our footsteps instead of walking in them!!
strong men they should both be so proud of how far they've come
Growing old is inevitable...growing up is optional.
God bless you both.
Nice to see honest men
A great story all the best to the both of you stay strong.
good on yous for talking about it. dave jnr has done so well despite having the harsh relationship with his dad. Many in the world have the same relationship with their parents

You say gang member we say family member
Criminal anti social family members who peddle drugs stand over and use people do you say that also?
I can’t understand how good parents end up losing there kid to the state and then this good parents let him get a patch member of gangs at 16!!! Just a child, where was this Good Parents? I would die before my child joined a gang at 16
exactly people copying each other and next gen grows up fuct
By there word's and there works you shall know them it's not what people say but what they don't say in the beginning was the word and the world was with God don't hang the lord' Jesus Christ on the cross of suffering the cross of Golgotha Forgive them father for they not what they do a proud kiwi family awesome God is love peace be with you familys my love to the Williams family Auckland yachting community love you Vicky Tarn is with us forever young regards Western Australia
These stereo types are not right me as a gang member who dosent do a class drugs or sigeretes can see what we gang members have in common is we came from poverty
All Samoans and Maoris in Porirua need to work together. Bloods & MMM 🇼🇸👌🏽🤙🏽62/13. Klean it up Keep it safe from Krabz
Nz/is just a drama
Didn’t he say in the beginning there two types gang members, one wanting the trouble and the other born into it ? So it wouldn’t be a gang Fathers Fear at all
@Inappropriately Me just people say one thing then say something that counters that, that’s all I was pointing out. Fathers in the gang must be ok with there kids joining the gang or they wouldn’t be in such high numbers joining. It’s just data. But yer was happy ending for this family they done bloody well get out, up to ourselves to get out not the state or the government.
@Inappropriately Me you can say that about anything to walk a mile, and there is plenty of research and data on these circumstances, I will continue to give my thoughts on any subject I feel like 👍
@Inappropriately Me you can get good data from internet, don’t be fooled by people that want to keep you close minded. Seek and you shall find, takes effort and alittle time but it’s all there
@Inappropriately Me not that complicated it’s same all over the world, maybe you should listen to Karen Chhour recent speech in parliament that’s a good start
@Inappropriately Me 😂
So yeah basically get a job work hard and be real men that dont complain . Too much handouts for lazy people
