Today parliament voted on a new offence of ‘criminal exploitation of children’ that would have sent adults who involve children in crime to prison for 13 years. The Tories voted AGAINST it. Under the Tories, criminals have never had it so good.

There's a dark side to party drugs. Last year 128 children in Brighton were identified as being victims of Child Criminal Exploitation ⚠️⁠ ⁠ Reports are low. ⁠Sadly, this means that the true figure is much higher.⁠ For more ℹ️ visit 📲⁠ ymcadlg.org/wise-up-to-exp…

Studies have shown that the more disconnected a young person is from their school, family and friends. The higher the chances are of them becoming victims of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) ⚠️

To some “it’s just a bit” of drugs. To a child being exploited, it’s the catalyst that plumets their life into a world of misery.⁠ ⁠ For more information, please visit the website 📲⁠ ymcadlg.org/wise-up-to-exp… ⁠ Follow on Instagram & Facebook - @ymcawise

A supply chain “mistake”’has led some Spice (SCRA) to be sold as MDMA. Sometimes not even the dealers know what they’re really handling. How can you? #TestIt

A survey found that 96% of people that took part would see children and teens under the age of 18 as victims if they were dealing drugs ⚠️ It is imperative that we see beyond the fake image portrayed by these young victims. For more ℹ️ 📲⁠ ymcadlg.org/wise-up-to-exp…

As a result of drug 'orders', children and teens are subjected to fear, intimidation and violence. ⁠ For most victims, the way out is through organisations like 'Front Door For Families'. A service provided by @BrightonHoveCC For more ℹ️📲⁠ ymcadlg.org/wise-up-to-exp…

Children who are exploited are traumatised victims, not criminals. Brilliant film highlighting the toll on mental health for both children and parents exploitation brings.
