🕯️ Why the most vulnerable children are dying as adults

Care leavers aged 18–24 die at a rate ~4× higher than their peers — an estimated ~130 deaths per 100,000 (2025). Scotland recorded 1,017 drug-related deaths in 2024 — still the highest rate in Europe. The government's own review found young people left care "with no safety net and with catastrophic consequences".

Every figure is from named public sources — none invented. Read the full, sourced record → 💊 The Prescribed Deaths
