200 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children are currently missing from Home Office-run hotels in this country. There’s simply no excuse, writes Labour MP TulipSiddiq. And what’s worse is the government doesn’t seem to care.
that the unaccompanied children staying in these hotels are being targeted by dangerous criminal gangs.
Why hasn’t the government shut these two hotels down and moved the children to a safe location? Why are these gangs able to target vulnerable children with impunity? The government’s position is that it is the responsibility of local authorities to coordinate action. But we want national government, specifically the Home Office, to take responsibility for the coordination between children’s services and the police. Especially as the children are disappearing from Home Office-run hotels and they are the department responsible for overseeing the refugee regime.
