Toronto's youth violence crisis escalates, with children as young as 8 involved in shootings and assaults, driven by gangs, social media, and systemic issues.
Toronto is facing a growing crisis in youth violence, with rising arrests for serious crimes including shootings and assaults, including a 12-year-old charged in a fatal beating and an 8-year-old killed by a stray bullet.
Police and experts cite factors like gang exploitation, social media glorification of crime, mental health challenges, and systemic inequities as contributors.
While firearm arrests dipped slightly in 2025, they remain high compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Authorities emphasize that long-term solutions require coordinated efforts across law enforcement, education, social services, and community programs to address root causes and prevent further escalation.
