I hear “county lines” referenced a lot – something to do with gangs / youth culture, but the background has completely passed me by. Can you explain?

It’s drug dealing gangs that generally use kids to traffic drugs from inner cities out to rural areas.

A friend’s kid got involved and it got really nasty, he was taking the train into the city and bringing back bags to contacts in the countryside at first, before he began bringing pre weighed and wrapped drugs to sell himself in the local town.

His dad has had to bail him out with thousands of pounds a few times to keep him safe.

It’s brutal child exploitation.
