Multiple women and injected with needles

[Greydaysandrainbows]

Apparently this is the ‘new’ version of spiking someone’s drinks and it’s frightening happening at night clubs all across the country.

Multiple women collapsing and can’t use their legs and dizzy etc many mums on the university Facebook page in on are reporting their daughters being injected. It’s not in the press yet although I think from reading the posts there might have been an article in a Scottish paper this weekend.

Not only the worry about what they are being injected with, if the needles are clean and why they are being attacked - just aggressive, to spread fear or to incapacitate these women why someone assaults them? No idea. Women are refusing to go to clubs.

Apparently many have had negative experiences when their friends have been stabbed thinking they are drunk instead.

I have no first hand experience of this - but there is a petition to get people searched prior to going into clubs - I’d like technology to go further and these men to have to produce ID to buy a drink and an address which is logged / for admission but I thinking calling for proper searches is a good way to go
Heres the petition

Happened to my DS's (male) friend in Sheffield too.

WinterTrees I disagree. I’m not convinced that across the country there’s an outbreak of women being injected. It would be either a bizarre coincidence or a hugely orchestrated move. Im
not disbelieving spiking or that this has happened somewhere.

I'm not suggesting that injecting is widespread (yet...) The fact that it is happening at all is very bloody disturbing.

Spiking definitely is widespread, and I don't think it's fair to suggest that young women commonly make false claims as an excuse for getting drunk. It's hard enough for women to be believed anyway without letting that narrative take hold.

Ok so we are talking at cross purposes. I do think spiking happens. I don’t think injecting people is happening as widely as reported on social media. Where we seem to disagree is that I don’t think everyone thinking they’ve been spiked is accurate (not lying) as it’s easy to over estimate tolerance to drinking.

My niece got very upset at the idea people don't believe this is true. It's very real and it's been an ordeal for her & us as a family.

She also has the worry of tests and injections over the coming months to ensure nothing has been passed on to her

This true and its happening. I have 3 adult "kids at unis across the UK. 2 x 3rd year students in Manchester and Nottingham. Drink spiking was a serious problem 2 years ago when they were in year 1, 2019 just before Covid hit.
Both experienced friends being spiked through drinks then and now but now jabbing seems to be on the increase.
Roll forward to Autumn 2021 all 3 of my kids again have first hand seen a friend get spiked. My son at 1st year at Bristol helped a female flat mate get to A&E just last weekend. They suspect she was jabbed, "they" being the hospital.
My 2 daughters in Manchester and Nottingham also know people who have been spiked in the past few weekends. Nottingham, seems rife for the jabbing Daughter was out in a huge crowd where 2 girls behavior radically changed, one collapsing and needing hospital treatment.
She hadnt had a drink since leaving her student house 2 hours earlier, so again, jabbing is suspected and she is being treated medically and prophylacticly as if she has been injected. A certain very popular night club in Nottingham seems oblivious to the problem, with victim blaming and treating victims as self inflicted drunks and not victims of assault/drugging.

It sounds like an urban myth but sadly it's not.

Just stop going to nightclubs

Just stop going to nightclubs

Seriously??

Would that advice be just to women, or to men too? Can you see any problems with it?

Report on bbc today. Yvette Cooper seems to be speaking out to back action.
