Nicole's story: 11 years old - exploited by drugs gangs
Nicole was 11 years old when she was exploited by a county lines gang - and made to deliver drugs. Now aged 18, she wants society to do more to protect children from their abuse.
In a raw interview, Nicole - not her real name - tells the 大象传媒 how she was abused and sexually exploited by criminal drugs gangs when she was just 11 years old.
Now aged 18, Nicole wants society to do more to help save children from county lines networks - which regularly target young children and teenagers to use them as drug couriers.
In this episode of 5 Minutes On, Nicole tells the 大象传媒's Jeremy Cooke how she wants to send a message to children who are currently being exploited in this way - and why they should never give up on finding a way out.
