    Same things happening in the US. Small towns that used to be propped up by a few mills/factories are now drug dealing and using hotbeds because the industry is gone. It’s like watching an entire community slowly die, it’s sad.
    Unfortunately when economics for an entire community are going bad, the first people to suffer are the vulnerable. This of course includes children, the mentally ill, and the elderly. I can’t tell you how many old folks in my area, Western Pennsylvania, have been popped for selling hard drugs. In the future we will definitely question why we continued such futile policy for so long.
    This series is AWESOME by the way. Keep it up Vice!

    The best is when you hear a little kid probably 10 or 11 on a bicycle ask you what you want when you're walking by in Cincinnati. The dealers make the kids run it to the fiend because the kid is less likely to be looked at by the cops. And if the kid brings in 500 in a day he probably gets to keep like 30 of it. But 30 bucks makes you feel rich when you're 10 years old. And then thats how they get them, then odds are they will be dealing for their lifetime, and the cycle continues.

    I'm concerned this is happening in my small country town in Vic. Australia. Things seem to have amplified during the whole lock down experience with teenagers in my area probably due to boredom and dissalusionment. The local street drug house has had an influx of younger and younger kids rolling up daily. The other day all the young usually well behaved kids on my block (the ones from 'good homes') were out the front of my place acting unusually ridiculous and out of control and character. When I asked what was going on they told me they were on (and had recently been dabbling) in "special k" - these were 10, 11 and 13 year old boys... innocent
    3 weeks ago a 12 year boy was stabbed in a horrific attack with a teenage drug dealer and died.
    It's scary that access to drugs is so easy and the exploitation of children so young is happening everywhere these days. Best we be ahead of the curve....

    Goes back further than the late 90s for sure. I saw all this going on in the late 80s and had to move away from Essex in the early 90s when I was 11yo due to all this, mostly due to concern from parents and family, personally I was having the time of my life and miss those days TBH. We were mostly selling white and dark, but smoking hash, doing trips etc.. ourselves, summer was real busy in seaside towns due to all the tourists, we just used to hang around the arcades all day looking for customers. Always older people staying in bedsits while we went out to sell.
    Not much the police can do to young kids, and we all knew it.

      @bruhmcbruhface yea, that's right. It's the same thing. Only back then a lot of time kids sold drugs to feed their families and survive and to take care of mama and their siblings cuz daddy was gone. Now they sell drugs cuz that's the cool way to get the newest sneakers or a watch, or Mercedes. I know they bought nice things back then too, but a lot of the time they had started selling for a better reason, and out of necessity.
