8 year old facing Dubai jail over holiday romance stunned at lack of help from David Lammy & FCDO.
18 year old Marcus Fakana faces court on Monday after being charged with having sex with a 17 year old British girl while on holiday in September 2024. She has since turned 18 sparking bewilderment amongst the British youth culture who can imagine themselves in similar situations.
“Is Dubai really the place to go to be cool?” “Parents of teens and even the youth themselves are questioning whether Dubai is all it’s made out to be. After the excitement of a barrage of reality tv shows that paint the city as a kind of Beverly Hills, a hot destination for young influencers and those with a dream. The reality is that it can be a very dangerous place for young people”.
