Children across the UK are being targetted. Gangs are using kids as young as eleven to move and sell drugs in places you least expect it. It’s called County Lines, and once they are hooked in, they are trapped. Many are forced to hide crack and heroin inside their bodies. Dispatches: Britain’s Child Drug Runners, Channel 4 2019
County Lines gangs use kids because they’re easier to exploit and less likely to get picked up by police. ibid.

By 1962 [Paul] Schafer and his group had established themselves as a charity in central Chile. They set up a farm, a bakery and even a state-subsidised hospital that offered free treatment to the local population, all with the blessing of the Chilean authorities. Schafer had his own very particular vision of how his community should be organised. ibid.
Schafer was creating a community that obeyed and followed his every command and where everyone looked up to the Permanent Uncle as a god. All this control allowed Schafer a free run to do as he wished, not only with the adults but also with the children … ibid.
Schafer reinforced this power through an elaborate system of mutual betrayal. ibid.
Frightened that he would have face criminal charges Paul Schafer fled just as he had done nearly forty years earlier. Schafer’s inner circle continued to assert its hold over the colony, but with investigators on their heels, they had to make changes to cover their tracks. ibid.
