/// A French administrative court ordered the Calais government in November to identify all minors in the camp and transfer them to child welfare centres. But carrying out the tally has proven difficult as new migrant families keep arriving. ///

/// 'We need to understand these children, listen to them and make sure we can implement specific policies such as asylum or family reunions in Britain when possible,' Avenard said. ///

/// Around 90 children have the right to enter Britain legally because of family members already there, she added. ///

/// Avenard said unaccompanied minors identified so far were mostly from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Sudan and Syria. ///

Makes one wonder how these youngsters manage to travel all that way on their own, when our own children have to be accompanied by their parents on the short journey to school?

no it shouldnt to someone of your age AOG
end of the war - the conditions were such that children took charge of themeslves and siblings at a much earlier age

- I dont think children have to be accompanied to skool TBH - the custom has grown up. When we were kids 95% of our time was spent playing unsupervised and now 95% of play is supervised by some adult, Its a social thing

alll we have to do is enforce the only useful law in the EU.

I don't think that having (extended) family here should be any criteria for an automatic right of permanent entry. Having their only family here should make it a particular case for consideration (depending on age). Having their parents legally here too. But who decided that having family made it an automatic right ? Did the inmates take over the asylum ?

So you think that an Afghan youngster would be mature enough to wake up one morning and think to himself, "I'm fed up with this *** hole I think I will see what it is like in England" and then set off to walk the 3,500 miles?

"Having their parents legally here too"

legal now, but I bet most were illegal...this whole business is yet another scam being perpetrated by these people...these kids probably are about as related to their so called family here as i am to adolf merkel...

Could be yet another scam Baz.

Send the kids first, then when the do-gooders have managed to get them set up in the UK, then they send for their parents, so that they can 'enjoy a family life'.

[Kathyan]

Didn't one child who was interviewed recently, actually say that once he got to England under this rule, that he would send for his parents to join him?

[youngmafbog]

yep, he did.
