    Go to the police immediately!

    Even if your son wont go to them you can go to them to tell them anything you know .

    Even if they cant take action against the gang/dealer THEY HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT ANYONE WHO MAY BE IN DANGER! but can only do this if they know about the problem.
    If you don’t believe they can help you why not go to the police and explain the situation without giving names or other identifying details and explain that you want to know what they can do to keep you safe.

    Frankly, even if you are rich enough to pay the current amounts being demanded at the rate which it is going up that will eventually change and paying will no longer be an option – what are you going to do then? agree to work for the dealer/gang because that could happen.

    If I was ever in the situation of someone demanding I pay money that I personally do not owe under threat of violence I would go to the police immediately.

    The only way I would even consider paying ( short of actually getting robbed ) is if it was a single debt for a small amount and that is purely because at that level the convivence of it is better than taking protection. As soon as the amount demanded was of any significance or there is any reason to believe that the amount demanded is made up ( fake robberies, added fees, added interest ect ) I would no even consider paying and go to the police.

    Fortunately in this country we have a police force and the state does have a duty to protect people who are in significant danger which means you can draw the line if these things go to far.
