Blog 9: UK man charged after children given trick-or-treat cocaine bags


On November 2, 2012 CNN reported that a man was charged after giving cocaine out to trick-or-treater. The police in England came out to investigate the children and the snap-top bags of white powder that turned out to be cocaine. The bags were given to the police and after test confirmed it was in fact cocaine the police of Royton, Greater Manchester Police arrested the man that was responsible. Donald Junior Green who was 23 years old was charged with drug possession and is due before a magistrates' court in Oldham, near Manchester, on Friday.

The war on drugs is a big thing in today’s world because of all of the ways the drugs are getting in countries and be dispersed within the countries to a high number of people that are being affected by the drugs. When children are targeted by older people it can cause a whole down fall for a generation. Drugs is a big battle for some to keep away from the youth so that they have a chance to do something better for their lives. This just does not affect the UK it affects the whole world because in some countries the drug war recruit the youth to do the dirty work to get the youth hooked young so the dealers have a life time clients. Dealing with this story and how a holiday where kids are going around and happy to get candy and eat it when they get home if a parent would not have checked the bag then a good number of children could have been killed by the drug. This also could have made it so parents do not want to let their kids take the risk of trick-or-treating in the worry of their kids being targeted with drugs of even something heinous.
