Abandoned by his single mother, he then grew up in care and in youth detention following an act of violence towards another foster child in his placement. Following his release and deemed unsuitable for foster care, he was moved to a larger children's home where he was introduced to cannabis and a darker world than he had ever imagined possible. On leaving care he soon became homeless and was recruited as a drugs dealer by Jaxon's father and soon set up his own county lines drugs operation involving a number of children and other young people from the Moorton Community.
