Notice also that they all seem to be males, is this something we should be wary about?

[Mamyalynne]

They do grow fast, I said that the other day to my Grandson - 13 years old and 5'8".

I get a crick in my neck sometimes.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your other part of the question.

[ToraToraTora]

the one in the third picture looks about 30! PMSL where are the "children"? they are adults.

[Baldric]

So good to see the Childlike Delight on their little faces as they step onto UK soil.

[Jackdaw33]

There must be medical tests which can determine within a year or two someone's age.

[Baldric]

If they're being reunited with their Parents, that's good,
but a fair few of them look like they'll be reunited with their Children imo.

'Lunar House' should be renamed 'Looney House'!

[ladybirder]

My worst fears confirmed looking at those pictures.

And are there any females?

[TTG]

Ask Sweden what they think of all these fit (and lets face it, healthy) young men being allowed into the UK. They are not just after the benefits.

I see no reason to doubt the ages of these kids......what reason do you have AOG ? I have a nephew who is 15 and is taller than me.

[Tilly2]

Some of them do look older than seventeen.

[fiction-factory]

If they are reunited with their parents presumably social services should be involved - leaving them in Calais sounds like serious neglect to me

[ToraToraTora]

get real mikey one of them looks 30 to me.

[jourdain2]

No matter what their given chronological age (which is doubtful) these young males do not look like children to me. I should add that as long as the legal age for marriage in this country is 16, then anyone 16 or over should be regarded as an adult. I cannot accept marriage of children, so anyone 16 or over has to be an adult. This is a very basic flaw in all arguments. Perhaps we should change the law so that no-one under the age of 18 may marry; before that age they are children?

This needs sorting out fast.

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, parents haven't been mentioned. Relatives have.

This is a farce.

[Jackdaw33]

No one under 18 may marry without parental consent. Those 16/17 may do so but they are still regarded as minors in law, so they may not buy alcohol or tobacco.

It *is* the Daily Mail, one of their gutter photographers probably "accidentally" pointed the camera the wrong way.

See, even AP doesn't belive they are aged 14 to 17
