Summary

Knife crime is spiraling, with tragic deaths like 16-year-old Kayden on a beach and 22-year-old John stabbed by a teen on bail—lives lost, families broken. The system is failing: overcrowded prisons, slashed community funding, and missed opportunities for early intervention. A Youth Work Bill could rebuild prevention efforts, but without urgent action, progress will vanish. Solutions include smarter knife security, public bleed kits, and stronger support for at-risk youth—before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
