Nicole's story: 11 years old - exploited by drugs gangs

Available for over a year

In a raw interview, Nicole - not her real name - tells the BBC 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 BBC'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.
