Some of the people in the photo's do look older than children for sure but I think it's very difficult to age people from photo's LT. Maybe living rough the way they have been ages you. Also as was stated in a news report yesterday, some of those pictured were interpreters who were travelling with the teenagers to help with communication.

I am soooo delighted to see these children, because by the same process which the authorities have used to calculate these kids ages, I am shortly coming up to my 23rd fecking birthday!!!!

YIPPEE!!

They have even admitted that they all lie about their age in order to get into countries!

If I was desperate to get out of a country where my life was in danger I would absolutely preach to the heavens that I was a 16 year old spring chicken.

But surely when they are in France they are already 'out of the country where their life was in danger'?

This is a good point Jenny and it's something I don't understand about the jungle. Surely France has a duty of care to the people there rather than letting a camp build up like it has. Particularly to any children.

Isn't that really France's responsibility though?

Yeah I think the French are more or less saying they want to get to Britain so it's your responsibility


I have no issue if these "children" have families in the UK, we were told it was a race against time to find the children before the camp was closed which is a lie as no one over 18 is classed as a child and where are the females?

Do you have anything that shows it was discredited? And is there a link to the article that these pictures are from and where they admit "they all lie about their age"?
