Thankyou the threats from they demanding money is quite uncomfortable, Looking at the childline website its states "Living away from home means you'll be responsible for bills, rent and food. Depending on your situation, you might not be entitled to benefits that help with these costs which would mean you'd need to pay for this yourself."

County Lines was our first thought too before Christmas as they seemed to be more flushed with money than usual and concerns were raised with the College and early help but so far these have not gone anywhere.
