One of our young neighbours was pacing up and down the road yesterday in an agitated state. Eventually a car pulled up and she was handed a packet and she passed money over. Very sad.

I do hope it is shown in schools . It's very worrying . Those taken into custody didn't seem to care at being questioned or even worried about possible prison sentences. Just awful . Our country is in an awful state.

They didn’t seem to understand how serious it all was. Their Mothers were obviously worried. The chap whose flat it was seemed unable to get himself out of the situation also.

Petra, it’s worrying

I had a phone call this morning with my daughter discussing this horror as a friend of my grandson is involved.
My daughter’s close friend has moved counties because her son was seriously involved with these scum.
I can’t post here the threats that were made to this mother.
1 could take you to an estate where there are county line mules openly supplying drugs in broad daylight.
Some time ago my daughter while picking up the grandchildren from school noticed county line scum trying to recruit children with vapes.
My daughter phoned Southend police to ask for someone to come down. You can walk to this school from the police station.
She didn’t even get a call back. 🤬

Thankyou - will see if I can watch it on catch-up or whatever it’s called

It was a really good show, all parents/grandparents need to be aware.

It was aired last night
Please watch if you have teenage boys/grandsons
It’s happening everywhere. Large and small towns. We need to make sure and not take for granted that our young people won’t get involved and keep them safe
If I’m understanding correctly it will be shown in schools anyway across the country but as caregivers we need to understand the signs too.

Lots of love Gransnetters x
