Missing Migrant Children

The Report

Available for over a year

Every week children who arrive alone in the UK and claim asylum go missing from local authority care. Many are believed to have been trafficked to work in brothels, cannabis factories and private homes or in street crime. Angus Crawford examines how criminals are using loopholes in the system to exploit these children.
