The Coventry children growing up near knife crime

Children have been sharing what it is like to grow up around knife crime, with some revealing they are scared to go outside.

The youngsters - members of a Coventry youth club - have witnessed first hand what for others their age might only be scenes from TV dramas.

Recounting their experiences to the BBC, they express a wish for the crime to stop during what remains of their childhoods.
