More and more young people than ever are being targeted, befriended and groomed by criminal gangs to hold, hide, sell or deliver drugs, money or weapons. Even to steal drugs or harm others.
You might think that these gang members are your friends, but over time you’ll come to see that they’re not. They benefit big time from what you do for them – but you take all the risks. The risks of getting hurt, risks of getting caught by the police, risks of going to prison, even risks of violence to you and your family if you don’t do what they tell you to.
And when you’re ready there’s help. In total confidence. You can call anonymously and start a conversation with people who can help you get out safely. People who understand exactly what you’re going through.
SafeCall is a free, confidential, anonymous helpline and support service for young people who are going through what you’re going through. It’s a safe space. They won’t judge you or tell you what to do. Instead they will listen to you, help you to understand your options, offer you advice and help you to be safe. You don’t have to tell them your name or anything about you.
You can also get advice without speaking to someone on SafeCall’s website.
