I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for them after such a cold blooded act. They should be locked up for the protection of our children.

There is a whole system in place to try and work out the real age of a child refugee. Middle Eastern boys often have facial hair from fourteen onwards and tend to look older than their European cousins. When investigations are done to find the real age of a suspected adult, its done by experts who use critical observations. Sometimes someone slips through the net but that net is fairly well woven so its unlikely many get through.
What we mustn't do is fall into a trap of believing all refugee children are suspects. The majority of these kids are going to grow up to be decent human beings. The ones that don't, deserve all they get. Nobody is sympathizing with people who cheated the system to launch a terror campaign.
As for protecting our children; let's not use our kids as an emotional pawn. When it comes to terrorism, no life lost is any less valuable than another. It matters not if you are young, old, British or foreign. We all need protection from terrorism.
