A Head Mistress of a school caught 4 pupils at the age of 9 dealing drugs to other children. Cannabis is the drug being sold at 50p!

Parents were called in immediately and the children have been suspended. The blame seems to have been shifted to the area. Comments from the parents included 'The area is going downhill by the day' and 'There's a new era of really horrible children whose parents don't have any control over them. Parents need to take more responsibility'.

My questions to this article are: how did the children get their hands on cannabis, how did they know what is was and what made them decide to sell? Have they seen these actions and are copying? Were they forced into it by a third person?
