People Dealer preys on child refugees
The number of missing children refugees is possibly much greater than imagined. Europol maintains the presumption that it is twice as many minors among 10,000 other agencies.
When a refugee child disappears, there is no Amber Alert to ensure that as many Dutch to him or her look. No more than a large-scale search is rigged. And where the missing children end up? We also know little about, contends Defence for Children, did research on unaccompanied minor refugees.
Known: human traffickers preying on the younger refugees, whose parents were killed or lost. And, in the Netherlands disappeared in 2014 110 unaccompanied children in reception centers. In its Europe, as suspects Europol 10,000 refugee children disappeared. They were registered upon entry but later disappeared from the radar.
Children's Ombudsman Marc Dullaert fears that there is twice as high number. Not all minors who enter Europe as refugees, are registered. ,, Children without parents are warned that they are in registration at risk of ending up in prison or in a closed youth institution before they are where they want to get into the country. "" That's why they try to slip in unnoticed.

Dullaert and other children's ombudsmen in Europe even see children who maim their fingertips, hoping to disguise their true age to travel further. Meanwhile aces ruthless traffickers them. Dullaert: ,, Particularly worrisome so if we some children do not know they're there. '
Therefore, he recommends tomorrow on behalf of all children's ombudsmen in Europe for the youngest refugees here as soon as possible to provide a legal home. ,, It was agreed to redistribute refugees across Europe. If we start with the children and then give priority to families with young children, we save them a very dangerous journey. ''
Thursday there is a meeting in the House. NGO Defence for Children pleads for better reception in the Netherlands. In addition, it should not go alone to make the decision whether or not to issue a residence permit the youngest refugees. ,, They need to gain perspective for the future, '' said lawyer Martine Goemans.
