When there's an incident with police presence & everyone aasumes it's a #criminal , not a victim - including police.

#CountylinesCCE

Nobody wants children trafficked but those same children, set up to fail by #fakeguarding vs. #safeguarding - are being hailed as kingpins & traffickers.

Not quite the success story the public are being manipulated into clapping.

Sarah O'Connell Yep.
Few want to ack the real issues inc how MS law is being applied & how many of those being hailed as jailed traffickers may be failed child victims.

🗣If we don't get you as kids, we'll get you as yng adults...matter of time'

Easy to see why some want to keep kids embedded.

Sarah O'Connell So much spin, nonsense & claps for so much wrong-doing.

Sarah O'Connell A race to secure MS charges, by hook or by crook, victim or offender. 'Victims' ackn only if there's kingpins to showcase.

Exploited children being failed, left in quicksand of CL & debt-bondage then written up as traffickers.

👏🏾💛💙

Always interesting re-reading these yrs on.

'..team of investgs was to focus on CL gangs.A coordn ctr has been set up in Brum where police offs aim to develop intel on the drugs network'
What did it change🗓

'Diffic pupils' & 'CL involvement'?
Trafficked pupils & CL trafficking

Ever tried to host a natl conference w. no funding, tiny amount of support (shockingly disproportionate to the #CCE + 🗣🗣 out there) *&* no disclosable identity?
Wouldn't recommend it!

But today we visited venue for final checks😍
#CLThroLivedLens kicks off in just over a week🚀

Not reality til research says so

Devastation of #boys not real til research says so

Outcomes if/when CCE boys become #men not real til research says so

Parents battling the hell of #CountylinesCCE for years (kwn to auths) not real til research says so

Failed boys-plain sight.

Like calling the devastation happening to British kids ' #exploitation ' but avoiding #trafficking & #slavery .

👇👇

Big thank you to those who are helping w. #CLThroLivedLens24

Support has come fm the most unlikeliest people & orgs - bringing into sharp focus those who genuinely stand w. #Countylines affected YP & families & want change & those who talk the #CCE talk.

'Persistent disruptive behaviour is the most common reason for children being suspended, or excluded, from school'

There's a lot of children whose 'persistent disruptive behaviour' is #CCE related

#Recruited #Rewired
#Coerced #Controlled #DebtBondaged #Trapped

Wld you #behave ?

This is absolutely true! Schools need to really dig deep in these situations, look beyond the surface behaviour and really understand the complexity of #CCE

He hd nt been cons a vuln teen. If W’s stint in Hastings hd taken place a few yrs later, there’s a chance he might hv been treated as victm of exploitn,rtr than criml..'

One reason we assert #Countylines flagged NRMs are an under-estimate of actual scale.

Example:

📌2020 CL stats

1544 - total (adults & children)
15% 📈 on 2019
1247 - boys

📌Updated 2020 CL stats when 2023 figs publ

1734 total (+190)
1397 boys (+150)

2021/22 figs also rose
