The scale of young people being sent to country towns to sell drugs could be bigger that the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal.

That鈥檚 according to Islington Councillor Joe Caluori, Lead Member for Children Young People and Families.

He told 5 live Breakfast that the potential number of young people being controlled by city drug gangs is in the 鈥渢housands鈥�.

鈥淚 think this is possibly on the scale of the CSE grooming scandal鈥ossibly much bigger than that.鈥�
