A charity is launching a campaign to encourage young people to speak up about youth violence in Scotland.
ScotlandFearless.org, the youth service of charity Crimestoppers, is targeting young people across the country with its Silence Won't Stop Violence campaign to encourage them to speak up about violence and weapon possession.
We previously reported a 17-year-old boy was arrested and charged in connection with the alleged incident. Speaking of the campaign, he said:"I wish people had used it to report me… it could have had me turning my life around quicker."Donald now supports young people who have found themselves caught up in the justice system through Edinburgh Police's VOW Project.
The youth charity is also promoting its message on Snapchat and TikTok so young people can learn from other's experiences and be encouraged to speak up.
