Original poster here. Those links are from last year, before the crisis started. Now situation is very different.
Anyway, I am not going to argue here, too many down votes. My point is irrelevant, I just live in Piraeus and my relatives work with refugees.
- DanBC 11y ago> Now situation is very different. No, children are still lying about their age to avoid being detained in camps. I'm not trying to suggest that there aren't any adults also lying about their age, but it's a bit more complicated than you suggest, and it's not true to suggest that child migrants get an easy ride. They do not.
- xg15 11y agoWith all due respect, I don't see how that argument made sense even before. Yes, court has to follow due process, but that doesn't mean you can throw your brain out. Call an expert witness and have the age determined, if you must. In murder cases, courts are expected to find out whether a killing was intentional or not and, if it was, whether the reasons were justifiable (self-defense). How can this be no problem, yet disproving the claim of a bulky, bearded man that he is 9 years old is impossible?
