According to an article in the Sunday Times (paywall) some of the 'child refugees' brought to the UK from Calais have already disappeared.

There are totally unwarranted fears that they've been drawn into illegality, child slavery, prostitution etc. but I reckon they've just had enough of HMG's 'hospitality' and are making their way to Lily Allen's gaff for a party with Bob and his celebrity chums.
Who'd have thought eh? Quelle surprise!
Seriously, it shows how out of touch they are that the great and the good who're always so keen for the UK to take in these people don't seem to appreciate the terrible reality that awaits them here with the obvious lack of govt. support and of course all those 'sincere' offers of housing which were so quickly forgotten by those who so piously issued them.
The UK clearly already has a massive problem in safeguarding the welfare of its own needy and vulnerable children (and indeed adults, including the mentally ill) so what on Earth made anyone think that somehow HMG would step up a gear for these migrants? What made them think that new resources would come out of thin air and the family ties we heard so much about would prove as robust as it was claimed by those who cited them? Maybe the problem is that nobody amongst the powerful elite and celebrity luvvies actually thought it through, much less let themselves get directly involved in the aftermath of what they helped create. Does anyone think these people are losing any sleep over this?
