So the moral of the story for any would be refugees is to tear up your papers (if you have any) and lie about your age then you've got a pretty good chance that all those 'robust checks' we hear so much about are rendered meaningless. Let's not forget, the guys who've been let in now are the ones who've been deemed the most likely to be what they claim not the least likely. It beggars belief really and it's a recipe for big problems.
I find the use of the word 'children' deliberately emotive too in this case since I don't think many people would look at the images of these people and immediately think 'vulnerable children'. If they were British everyone would be queueing up to call them young adults at the very least...

So to be accepted as under 18 the rule should be you have to look say 12 or younger. It is a lot harder to look 12 than 17.
Also it seems to be mainly males, not something one would quite expect in such a situation.

A cursory glance at the migrant masses all over the EU, Turket etc. would indicate a very high proportion of relatively young, fit males and relatively few women/children but admitting that makes the whole issue far less emotive. It's also pretty easy to understand why the proportions would be such. There's little to stop young, mobile, single men from all over the world appearing on the EU's borders in search of a better life and it's easy to understand why they'd do it.
