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 a term used to describe the exploitation of children by organised crime, specifically drug gangs. “Lines” refers to the phone lines use to communicate with the exploited children. The children are often used to move drugs from one area to another, often from a town or city to a more rural area.
