Foster mother discovered ’12-year-old Afghan refugee orphan’ was a 21-year-old jihadi: ‘I’ll kill you and I know where your children are’
Foster mother tells of horror when she discovered ’12-year-old Afghan refugee orphan’ she cared for was a 21-year-old jihadi
- The boy, Jamal, was identified as being far older following dental checks
- His carer, Rosie, had been suspicious of his facial hair and gun proficiency
- The refugee was found with Taliban and child abuse material on his phone
- He since been arrested for assault and has been denied asylum
A woman opened her heart and her door to a
12-year-old boy who had fled the horrors of war in Afghanistan after
losing his parents – or so she thought.
In reality, not only was the boy in her
care, Jamal, almost a decade older than she had been duped into
believing, but he also had Taliban and child abuse material on his
phone.
A dentist’s check found his age to
actually be around 21 and a subsequent investigation uncovered the
shocking content on his mobile, according to the Sun.
However, the news did not come as a huge
surprise to his foster mother, who gave her name only as Rosie, who had
not only been extremely suspicious of his developed facial hair – which
led to him being thrown off a bus as he looked too old for a child
ticket – but also other characteristics.
She took Jamal to a climbing centre, where
he displayed upper body strength far beyond his supposed years and also
was able to completely strip a rifle at a shooting range.
While in her care, he shared a room with three children aged between 12 and 14.
Rosie told the paper’s Nigel Bunyan and
Chris Pollard: ‘It’s ridiculous how everybody else could see it but not
the social workers.’
Although she could not confirm if he was a terrorist, she was adamant he had spent time in a training camp.
She added that his last words to her were ‘I’ll kill you and I know where your children are.’
Jamal has since reportedly been turned down for asylum after being arrested for assault.
It follows fierce criticism of ‘children’
being allowed into Britain ahead of the demolition of the Calais jungle
appearing to be well into adulthood.
Refugees, who the Government claims are
aged 14 to 17, arrived at the UK Visas and Immigration office in
Croydon, south London, by coach as part of a fast-track system to move
youngsters from the French migrant camp.
After photographs of the refugees arriving
were published, Conservative MP David Davies wrote on Twitter: ‘These
don’t look like ‘children’ to me. I hope British hospitality is not
being abused.’
Officials insist the migrants have undergone rigorous interviews and document checks to establish they are aged under 18.
But it has emerged that this is simply a
screening process where they are verified as a child based on their
‘physical appearance’ and ‘demeanour’, with social workers signing off
an ‘age assessment’.
A Home Office spokesman admitted that
routine medical tests, such as checking dental records, have not been
carried out because it could be ‘intrusive’.
An aid worker in Calais also raised concerns that adults may be lying about their age to gain entry into Britain.
Town halls have threatened a revolt if they were burdened with bogus child refugees.
Computer analysis of photographs of the
‘child migrants’ who arrived in London from the Jungle camp this week
suggests many could be in their 20s and 30s.
