A former gang member has spoken to GB News about his work to protect young people engaging in knife crime.
Recalling his past criminal life, Carl Scott told GB News of how he joined the gang lifestyle at age 12 and was stabbed at 15.
He told Nana Akua: "I was stabbed by 15, and then my best friend passed away in my arms from a stab wound to the heart, so I'd already had quite a experience with knife crime at that point.
"But I'm doing bookings and going into schools, doing public speaking or speaking to professionals and training social services, I teach them about county lines, gangs, exploitation, grooming, how it happens."
