Rise in knives and blades found at London family courts

Thousands of knives and sharp objects are being confiscated annually at London family courts, with campaigners saying it showed how"desensitised" some people were to carrying weapons.

Family courts mainly deal with private family disputes that involve parents and concern their children, and public work when local authorities take action to remove children from their parents' care.The figures, revealed following a Freedom of Information Act request from the BBC, covered 15 of the courts based in the capital.

In the financial year 2015-16, 41 were taken by court staff but that dropped to 11 in 2016-17 and 18 the following year, before soaring back up to 86 in 2018-19.

Thank SadiqKhan for this....

What has happened to London? The last time I went there (back to where I used to live) I felt scared and intimidated the whole time. I'm starting to see it wasn't paranoia. The threat is real. Poor London

I blame the parent

Why is your stock photo not a black youth? They are about 90% of all knife crime suspects. This is racist to whites. Imagine a crime highly white but the stock photo was of a bkack. Their would be a massive online outrage. Funny when you flip reverse things stabbing defundbbc

If people started focusing on violent crime instead of the weapons, we might get somewhere. But I guess we can keep doing the same thing and maybe the result will eventually change on it’s own.

They are just spears to them, takes them back to their roots!

Rise in blacks.

What it REALLY shows is 'gun control' is a JOKE!

i'm buying a £200 knife next week
