On Tuesday night I a 46 year old women went to the D Block Europe a concert at the O2 London with my daughter. I wasn’t originally going but my son could no longer attend due to football , I therefore brought him tickets for the Wednesdsy night and I went with my daughter and friend on the Tuesday


In the arena on Tuesday night there was a great atmosphere - most of the audience were young children I don’t think many parents or people of my age were there.


The whole of the O2 absolutely stunk of WEED and every young person O could see around me was vaping pretty much everyone!!!!….


We were seated from 20.00 and the group didn’t come ion until about 21.45!!


There were so many young people getting pulled out of the standing crowd that had collapsed/fainted.


As soon as we left the stadium at 23.15 we walked out of the main arena and was immediately approached by drug dealers selling WHIP (GAS) I could see 3 of thrm

and one approached me and my daughter they said do you want WHIP we take cash or card, I was horrified!!..


We then walked past 2 groups of young teenagers with balloons in their mouths.


It was really raining so we got to our car as soon as we could, car park 3. It then took us over 80 minutes to get out of the car park and wee watched ambulance after ambulance coming in.


I felt devastated by what i had witnessed and I called the Met Police making a full report of the evening - the time we come out of the O2 the fact that the dealers were right close to the main entrance walking towards us so surely they should be on camera I was advised I wasn’t the only person that had called. I’m told them there was another concert that evening so please protect the children and attend.


Wednesday night my son attended the event with his girlfriend , we dropped rhem

off and showed them where we would collect them from. I had advised him in everything that happened.


Not long after 23.00 my son called me to tell me he could see 5 different dealers outside the arena this time they all had their faces covered again selling the same gas as the night before. My son confirmed there wasn’t a policeman in sight.


I then got a call 5 mins later with my son telling me he had just walked past a group of children no older then 13/14 all doing the gas balloons he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.


we collected our son and he advised me that the show that only went on for about 75 mins (d blocked europe) the amount of kids again getting pulled out of the crowd he said one of them looked like they had died. The actually stopped the show 3 times writhing this 75 minutes because of the amount of casualties


Our children are in so much danger and I want all parents too know what’s going on out there to protect their children.


zonhave heard about these type of dealers before turning up to parties with GAS, now i have seen it for my own eyes


I gave the intel to the net police however they were not seen at the event . Now if my son could spot 5 dealers then the police should of been there and could of arrested these men.


you here now this carey’s a 2 year sentence , they had the Intel but failed to be there.


I just hope all the kids are ok.


O told my friend about this and she advised me when one of sons mates xome out the o2 that night he was mugged and has his canada goose coat taken of him (which he was wearing) and his mobile phone!!!…..


Our children are walking into a war zone and this govemnet has got to sort itself out and start worrying and sorting out this country because I am so concerned and worried for our children

Sadly they are everywhere and police won't do anything. Just make sure kids are aware of these ppl and to avoid it's very typical at these sort of places x

Sadly this is the world we are living in.

We really need to educate our children as much as we can and hope they make the right decisions and not be influenced by peer pressure.

It is terrifying as a parent.

It’s wrong yes but this isn’t anything new.. gas has been around for a long time, even when I was teenager which was 20 years ago. In fact back then it was salvia being sold on the streets, ecstasy, gas… all sorts and often after gigs & concerts. The police don’t care sadly, we just have to educate our children to do better and make the right choice. And yes it’s mostly 12-16 year olds doing gas because kids older than that know how dangerous yet lame it is to do balloons. It’s sad really.

Unfortunately and regrettably the police system is such they way it is today because of the government systems and laws

society is going to get affected and everybody in it it’s our job to try to deviate from that which is considered ‘ normal ‘ and it’s an extremely hard task when you’ve got an appalling school system with what they are taught and influenced by

Please forward this information in a letter directly to the O2, so they can also assign more security personnel to the area.

Copy also to the Police Commissioner, London Mayor, local MPs, local newspapers. etc. Anyone who has a say to be honest.


This needs approaching from higher up, to people in control of policing and budgets assigned to tackling drug issues, so these drug problems in our society can be addressed.

Thanks for your message yes I am contacting everyone.


I just want to make parents aware of the dangers out there for our children at the moment so to be vigilant with their children.


Just so shocked walking out of the 02 and being bombarded with drug dealers.


I really thought they would have had police there on the Wednesday night after my call. They advised I wasn’t the only person that called!


As I said my son went on the wednesday night and he could see 5 of them.


We are told on the news this carries a 2 year sentence.


They all could of got arrested on Wednesday night but no police…


These are huge gas cans they are selling it’s shocking


It’s getting so bad.


thank you x

You can thank the useless London Mayor for this! He is more concerned with penalising motorists than keeping the streets of London safe! Met Police are under his watch and are a laughing stock! God help us in the future!
