From the scoping that Jason is doing, he's not going to hear about any of the larger, potentially serious stuff that he would be looking for. For the most part, they're a bunch of kids: very, very loyal kids. They won't tell him about the inner workings of the gang, or the potentially larger crimes that may be at the center of it.
If he tries to negotiate with them, he'll gain some interest from those that need the money (either for themselves or for family reasons), but hit a wall of hesitation. These are a group of kids that have already been indoctrinated into a gang, and leaving could potentially put them, and possibly their loved ones, in harm's way. They don't want to be, or feel like, traitors.
This will also come into play when he tries to guide them toward shelters. They may start seeing him as "one of those adults" and start to spread the word.
As a note, Team Leverage is also working to try to get some of these kids into youth centers! Feel free to take note if you're interested in tying plots together.
