There seems to have been a sudden increase in knife crime among teenagers here. It's obviously been around for a long time but over the past few months it seems to have escalated alarmingly. I think the copy-cat bit has a lot to do with it. I guesss the only positive thing you can say is that, at least it's not guns (in the main...there have been some gun incidents) while the killing of teenagers in the street should NOT happen, at least with a gun the perpetrator can generally only take out one before they are stopped, not massacre a whole crowd.

My thoughts are very strongly with the family of this boy.
