The smack is not really a worry, theirs a guy a few doors down that has been running his own meth lab in his bathroom for the past 7mths and he told me over the fence recently that he’s upscaling to heroin production as its better for repeat business without the hassle of the aggressive clientele, as I occasionally represent him in court he’s more than happy to “put something back into the community”.
As for the age of the kids, most of them take the benefit’s straight off their mothers, they don’t fight as they prefer an easy life.
Since the Neighborhood Watch was set up to keep the area safe from peados we haven’t had any burglaries, nothing like the sight of the Close deterrent to put folk off breaking & entering.
A lot of the mothers are quite keen on the idea of a programme like this, anything of an easier life I guess.
Oh and its not like they would be forced into it, we’d just give it to the bigger “cooler” members for their stupid gangs.
