What's scarier is that it happened in Sussex, that's the safest part of the country.

[@Thailand-mt9op]

Not anymore I am afraid, county lines have moved in😢

[@maureengrimshaw6892]

I am so sorry for your grief.

[@jujutrini8412]

Knife crime is everywhere. It’s time people stop having this idea that it’s only happening in London.

[@endlessglizzys_.0233]

True, it is shocking the amount of knife crime.

[@septillion2501]

This is only the beginning. In the next 50 years, the entirety of England will look like London, and things like this will be a daily occurrence.

[@jujutrini8412]

London’s not the worst place for knife crime in the country.

[@keith8609]

Unfortunately talking is not going to stop knife crime we need proactive action from the police with stop and search with tougher sentencing to deter the carrying of knives

[@Thailand-mt9op]

We need the Army at this stage. My neighbour was stabbed last week in Chelsea. It’s frightening

[@WattzArtist]

Absolutely horrible 😞

[@robertlelliott7363]

Just awful. Even if you prevent just one of future victim your hard work around your charity would have been worth it. I wish you luck ❤

[@julierogers1155]

Condolences for the loss of your Charlie. I wish there was a way to help besides being witness to your efforts and some of your pain.
Wishing you family some peace.

[@beckysim6448]

Such an amazing interview and what amazing parents ❤

Respect to all the NHS staff saving knife crime victims

[@llnny863]

We have not had a knife amnesty for a long time in the UK

[@llnny863]

Sorry for your loss 😢x

Heartbreaking 😢

God bless Charlie's ❤🙏 ❤family!

[@donnajohnson8035]

My heart breaks for this family.

[@minzy421]

Reason this is happening cuz our youths have no where to go to keep themselves busy and distracted. Since the cuntservatives stop funding for youth services and lot of youth clubs have been closed. It wasn't this bad when Labour were in government

[@endlessglizzys_.0233]

True, the Government is obsessed with building over every green space. No where for the kids to go. Too many built up areas. Closing Youth Centre etc all adds to this.

[@Aleeeeeeeeexxxx]

yeah cos most people who are bored go out and stab people? Serious? 🙄

[@endlessglizzys_.0233]

@@Aleeeeeeeeexxxx Duh! No but these things don't help.

[@sparklingwater1430]

@@Aleeeeeeeeexxxxlet’s use our brains here, it’s not that simple. It’s a process, bored kids join gangs and partake in anti social behaviour, then progress to stuff like this

[@Ayat78]

Nothing to do with that. I’m not against immigration and I am very left wing… however I agree - surprisingly - lots of people coming to the UK with no respect for our values, is the reason for the rise in crime.

[@AbigailBrown-wk7xl]

My heart goes out to Charlie's family. Knife crime is cruel . Charlie's parents have shown alot of bravery. Charlie's parents are incredible ❤

[@robertlelliott7363]

In my view (and we all have one) to stop knife crime two things have to happen. 1, Increase the chance of being caught and 2, Deal with it effectively. We’ve tried the “better education”. route so lets start getting in the real world.
