The family of Cher Maximen, who was tragically killed at the Notting Hill Carnival, is calling for attention to the root causes of knife crime rather than condemning the event itself. Following the sentencing of Shakeil Thibou for her murder, they argue that cancelling the Carnival won't prevent violence. The family expresses that the focus should be on youth violence, community safety, and a discussion over safety measures during such events. Their message is clear: blaming Carnival takes attention away from the broader issue of knife crime affecting the community.
The family of Cher Maximen insists on addressing broader issues of knife crime rather than blaming the Notting Hill Carnival itself for the violence.
TJ Jacobs emphasized that while Carnival has a rich cultural heritage, safety issues must be addressed, and simply cancelling the event wouldn't solve the problem of violence.
