How do you leave a gang? Former drug dealer calls LBC to explain

After a fourteen year old boy was stabbed to death on a London bus, former gangster Daniel calls LBC to offer his candid advice and insight. Daniel started dealing drugs aged 12 and by the end of his teens he says he was making £20,000 every day. He explains how difficult it is to incentivise gang members to leave that money and lifestyle behind to get a 'proper job'. But Daniel, having done it himself, describes how he turned his life around and pleads with LBC's listeners to get out of the city if their children get involved in gang crime, as that is 'the only way' to break the cycle.
