    The Nigerian man arrived in the UK as an unaccompanied asylum-seeking child and lived in foster care until reaching the age of 18.

    And now they are transferring him to a floating kennel because he’s finally an adult? What the fuck?

      Doesn’t make it any less horrific but this isn’t much different to how they treat children in care. The second they become adults they’re turfed out.

        Yeah 16 and if you’re in care you’re probably fucked. Lad I worked with hit 16 and was put in a house with some questionable individuals. 2 years later he’s in prison. Working as intended?
