Female-pupil, 15, suspected of selling Ecstasy outside school |
Premier Gordon Brown wanted to send a message on drugs to our kids. Personally I don't think they got it, as this story proves. Children selling drugs is a by-product of the prohibition created and enforced by governments. As drug dealers look to new marketing methods in a bid to increase sales, taking advantage of society's most vulnerable people by employing them in a drug-distributor's pyramid "down-line" plays a big part in spreading class A drugs far & wide, using methods & process's never seen before. Instead of passing the buck and leaving it for the police to sort out isn't it about time the government took some responsibility? Legalise, tax and then regulate the supply and while you're at it, do away with the unworkable "A,B C" drug scheduling system. Or we can stay just as we are, and spend the next ten years under tory rule, watching as more and more of our children get tangled up in drugs only to end up in prison instead of university. | SOUTH Wales Police have arrested a 15-year-old girl on suspicion of selling Ecstasy tablets outside a Swansea school.

| Four pupils at Gowerton Comprehensive School, aged between 13 and 14, were subsequently taken to hospital for tests to determine if they had taken the drug and were later discharged .
School headmaster Peter Harrison said yesterday the school had a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and the police were called in following information it received.
|
| Detective Inspector Simon Davies, of Swansea North CID, said the police and the school were working together on the problem.

| Inquiries into the incident were continuing. Meanwhile, Swansea’s former British Legion club in Mansel Street is being turned into a drugs counselling centre.
| The Swansea Drugs Project, which began operating in the 25 years ago in a single terraced property, has had to expand threefold since then to cater for a big increase in its services.
Now, the project has been awarded more than £1m to buy the former British Legion club and develop a substance misuse resource centre in the city allowing greater treatment capacity.
Ifor Glyn, director of the Swansea Drugs Project, said: “The Swansea Drugs Project outgrew its current premises years ago and, thanks to the Welsh Assembly Government, the project is now able to plan for the future and develop and improve services to those experiencing problems with drugs and alcohol, their families and the wider community.”
