Life is for the living.
If you are raising a Black boy in the UK, there are some conversations you cannot afford to avoid.
The statistics are uncomfortable.
Black people make up around 4% of the population of England and Wales, yet account for around 12% of the prison population. In the year ending June 2025, Black offenders made up 25% of the prison population for under-18s and 21% of those aged 18–24. Black children are also significantly more likely to experience police interventions such as strip searches than their White peers.
Whatever your view is on why these disparities exist, one thing is clear: parents cannot afford to be passive. You must know your child’s friends and where they spend their time. Know who influences them. Know what is happening in their world when they leave your house.
Have conversations with them about peer pressure, gangs, exploitation, drugs, social media and joint enterprise. Too many families believe that if their child was not the person holding the weapon or directly committing the offence, they have nothing to worry about. The law is not always that simple.
You should also teach your child to understand their rights. If they ever find themselves being arrested or interviewed by the police, they should know that they are entitled to free legal advice. Seeking legal advice before answering questions can be one of the most important decisions a young person makes in that situation.
As a social worker, I have met parents who were genuinely shocked by what their child was involved in because they thought, “my child would never.” Love your child enough to have the uncomfortable conversations.
Black boys often face a different set of risks, pressures and outcomes in the society they are growing up in. Pretending otherwise does not prepare them for the world.

British people will queue for 45 minutes without complaint but will passive-aggressively mention it for the rest of the day. “Was on that bloody queue all day…”
The patience and the grudge exist simultaneously. 😂

A therapist who spent 40 years counseling couples on the edge of divorce wrote down the one conversation she believes every couple should have before getting married.
She said, “If you have this conversation honestly, you will either save yourself decades of pain or build a foundation strong enough to survive anything.”
