## Resource

A 20-year-old man in Scotland is set to face serious jail time after being convicted for using a 14-year-old boy to sell drugs — one of the first such cases under the country’s new Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act. The chilling story began at a Glasgow arcade, where the dealer lured the boy with promises of cash, then forced him to skip school, live in grim drug dens, and prepare and distribute crack cocaine. Teachers noticed his disappearance and eventually uncovered the truth after he confided in his mother. When police moved to arrest the dealer, Matteullah Siddiqi fled and injured an officer, later found with nearly $3,000 worth of heroin. Now, he faces multiple charges — including assault on a police officer — as sentencing looms. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
