## Resource

A shocking case in Scotland: a 20-year-old, Matteullah Siddiqi, convicted for exploiting a 14-year-old boy into the drug trade, marks one of the first-ever convictions under the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act. Siddiqi lured the boy from a Glasgow arcade, gave him a phone and Instagram, and forced him into squalid conditions, teaching him to prepare and sell crack and cocaine “testers.” The boy’s school attendance vanished, and after confessing to his mother, authorities intervened. Siddiqi, caught in September with nearly $3,000 in heroin and attempting to flee, also admitted to assaulting an officer. Now awaiting sentencing, this case exposes the chilling depths of child exploitation in the drug underworld. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
