This is how we treat children alone & at risk:

‘10yr old lone Afghan boy had a welfare interview.. at 10.38pm without an appropriate adult. At the start of the interview, he said: “I want to speak to my mum, please. I want a mobile,” his request was denied by an officer’

[Dr Ella Cockbain @DrEllaC]

Great interview 👇
