London violence: Children as young as 10 fear being stabbed

Jermaine Cools, 14, pictured here with his mother Lorraine, was the 27th teenager to be stabbed to death in London last year

She explained that when she asked a group of children about to start at secondary school what they were most afraid of, "100% of them, all primary school children, said they were [most] scared of being stabbed". "We try to sugar-coat it but they are already exposed to all this, so we shouldn't sugar-coat it any more."Zaian Aimable-Lina, 15, was killed in Croydon on 30 December - and still was not the last teenage homicide victim of 2021

"I'm looking at it differently now - I'm thinking how can I get the streets and the community into my school?'He said he would stab me in my face'"Knife crime is crazy since the summer," according to Aaron Nzita, 19, who explained how he was mugged at knifepoint in September. "Some kids before didn't want to speak to police at all, but now they're frightened so they want to speak to police.""Most of these kids are not going to stab someone to kill them, they are just trying to protect themselves and make a statement."Wayne Lindsay, who was also at the meeting at the Croydon Voluntary Action base, is the co-founder of P4YE, a group that supports young people and families in south London.

Because you have a unwanted pakistani as mayor ? Remember TheRapeOfBritain with TommyRobinson

just like women feeling unsafe in the streets, and having to walk with keys between your fingers or a knife in their handbag.... is the same way young black men feel unsafe and needing to protect themselves, and the police don't help either, women or young black men. same same

Kids need to be screened and the psychopaths weeded out and dealt with. However much I hate China, this sort of crap would never happen there. They monitor that shit and stamp it out early.

Address child poverty + establishment racism

Stop and search, oh, hang on.

It's crazy. London needs to reclaim it's streets no matter what area.

Kneel

Fear mongering again for a slice of the action🤬

Esas personas que creen que lo saben todo son una verdadera molestia para aquellos que de verdad lo sabemos todo.

Bring back public punishment.

They should stop watching facebook. And fear being hijacked more, basically.

Trade ya. Signed America.

If the law was you get 25yrs In prison for just carrying a knife , you do minimum 25yrs before release Knife crime and murder by knives drops within a week by 90%

What are you doing about THIS SadiqKhan oh yeah campaigning for more charges that drivers, small businesses and charities will have to pay to drive in London and appearing on TV criticising Boris Johnson. Do your actual job or does it have to get worse!

Fear is conditioned into us from young age..

«Το καλό με την επιστήμη είναι ότι είναι αλήθεια είτε πιστεύεις είτε όχι σε αυτήν. – Νιλ ντ ξ Γκράς Τάισον

SadiqKhan is more worried about charging vehicle drivers than worrying about knife crime

Any studies on why this is happening?

12 years of elite enrichment and austerity for everyone else produce a sick society.

'...as I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood'...'.

Of the 30 teenage stabbing homicides in 2021, how many victims/perpetrators were white?

anyone , whatever their age , needs to be alert

everyone should fear being stabbed, it's not very nice
