Can we not prosecute her for endangering her own child ?

There is a big difference between fostering young children in the UK care system and taking in somebody that nobody knows a single thing about.

No doubt she was all very supportive of taking in these poor refugees from Calais.

i think the main issue was plenty was known about him, just nobody bothered to tell her. no doubt the people doing the placements are operating under some box tick exercise with little interest in the welfare of the families willing to provide a home for genuine vulnerable kids.

She was asked - she can refuse.

"F*** me he looks a bit too old, there is no way on earth he 12 ! - I am sorry but I don't think I can take him I have a young daughter"

or

‘I didn’t want to hurt his feelings'

Hurt his feelings or protect your family ? You don't need to be a genius to work out that he is not 12 by looking at him, and that a man from Afghanistan - a worn torn country where women have no value at all may not be the ideal bed room companion for your family.

Anyone know the economics of this?

How much do these carers receive for taking in such a "child?"

How much does the council get from central government?

Presumably agencies get a cut?

Here are some figures....

Guardian said:

Under the scheme, councils that take in refugees can claim £8,520 per person (pdf) from the government, to cover the costs of accommodation, translation, administration and transport, among other things. This funding continues for five years: dropping to £5,000 in the second year, £3,700 in the third, £2,300 in the fourth and £1,000 in year five.

Councils also receive £4,500 for each child aged five to 18 years and £2,250 for those aged three to four years, to cover the cost of education.

However, council leaders estimate this only covers 70%-80% of the total costs of housing refugees, according to the Times.

Why does resettling a refugee cost £17,000 in the US – but £85,000 in Britain?
The news that it could cost the UK £1.7bn to welcome 20,000 Syrian refugees raises questions about why Canada, Germany and the US spend less. Here’s why it varies ...

Interesting. Giving all the way then.

In general terms most folly can be traced back to money or sex.
