You just cannot take what they say as true
Two thirds of those whose age was disputed were lying, I'd presume that those who weren't disputed were clearly children, and I think it was approx 1 in 5 that were disputed? (not sure on that exactly but it's around that figure) so it would be somewhere around 15% that were lying. That's still a high percentage of course (although it becomes much smaller if you start discussing 'all migrants' not just 'child migrants'), but I thought I'd point it out anyway to highlight the fact that depending on the source, you just cannot take what they say as true
