They need to pay off their debts to the Mafia that arranged their smuggling. They obviously agreed to work in the criminal underworld in order to pay off their journey and failure to do so would mean their families back home are in danger.
Some will have gone willingly though. All gangs have to do is offer them money or gifts and kids will just wander off, because the gangs offer the kids something more than uncertainty over their future. The kids also know it will be much harder for them to be sent home if they hide within the gangs.
Blokes in their mid twenties claiming to be 15, doing what they always planned to do when they got into the country
Why am I only just hearing about this.. 66 minors go “missing” and there’s barely any discussion about this on the news sites.
Oh well I suppose someone fucked up and needs reprimanding, basically if you attach the word migrant or asylum to any british headline it gets mentally deleted by the masses.
Welcome back to slavery then is it?
Reddit: “Nooooo you can’t keep tabs on people by putting ankle monitors on them or keeping them in compounds, you have to let them be free!”
Behold the consequences of your misplaced altruism, you’re now supporting the black market and modern slave trade based on child labour.
