There has been yet another knife crime amongst teenagers, making it the fourth consecutive attack in London.
A 16-year-old boy was stabbed twice in the span of four days, in Chingford. Another 14-year-old was stabbed in Burnt Oak, Edgware; a 16-year-old was stabbed repeatedly in Hounslow, west London, and 18-year-old Stefan Appleton was stabbed in Islington.
These attacks have shockingly been taking place one after the other, although the perpetrators are not the same. The thought of the safety of the youth, if not of our own has become highly questionable, if not doubtful, due to the rise in crime in the contemporary society. And what may also come across as disturbing is the fact that many people have become desensitised to the idea of teenage stabbings taking place, reacting as though it is a common crime.
This table shows that so far in the first six month of 2015, there has been seven teenage murders due to stabbing.
