THE PSNI IN Northern Ireland is investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a number of unaccompanied children in Belfast who were later taken into the care of social services.
The BBC reports that at least 10 teenagers of east African origin were discovered in Belfast’s harbour area across a number of days last week.
It reports they are from Eritrea and were travelling without an adult.
Asked for clarification on the report, the PSNI said it was in contact with the Health Trust in relation to the issue.
“We are liaising with the relevant Health Trust to understand the circumstances around a number of unaccompanied children who have been taken into the care of social services.
“Our first priority is the safety and wellbeing of the children involved. There are no further details at this stage.”

@Roy Dowling: So is the Mother-in-law! :- )
‘The days’ on Netflix about the disaster is pretty good.
In what sense? Dreadful acting, cheap sets, terrible production
Thanks, I love a good disaster film.
Anyone who advocates that ireland can sort our energy issues out by going nuclear should check out, The Days on netflix
@Robert Halvey: comparing a nuclear power plant in Japan to one in Ireland is a level of misunderstanding thats hard to correct. Nuclear energy is the safest energy generation on the planet. You do realise there are nuclear power plants all over Europe and likely supplying energy to Ireland already. If you have even left Ireland you have been within a km of a nuclear power station that doesn’t worry you when you are on your holidays. Whys that?
@Allora: We approve your message and we thank you for your hubris and your demand for more energy without due consideration for the decisions made today and the impacts they may have on future generations. We thank you for our obvious shared interests. We appreciate your diminution of the overarching impacts to life on earth due to the inconvenient fact that we have not solved for the unavoidable problems of radioactive toxic waste, or in any event such as natural disaster.
@Corporate Interests: toxic nuclear waste? What an incredible end to that word salad. The 3 mile island plant is still running today even after the accident there & all the nuclear waste that you speak of that has resulted in running that power station is so small its all still on site. Also the lastest atomic power generation technology can now use the so called atomic waste ypu speak. We are approaching a nuclear age where waste wont exist as it will be constantly put through modern nuclear power plants. France it full of nuclear power stations & not one issue so im unsure of what you speak of.
@Allora: We thank you for your continued support towards our aim to maximise short term profits by way of satisfying your unending demands for more energy, rather than adopt a saner approach in terms of risk to future generations. We appreciate your efforts in glossing over the inconvenient truth of what happens for example, to spent fuel pools should there even be a minor scale incident, not least being one of the most threatening dangers with regard to Fukushima, even while there is human oversight. Of course, humans no more than life itself is of little concern to us, as you would agree. We thank you for your commitment.
Anyone else see the three eyed fish in the last few year’s? Another one the Simpsons got right. (Although I think they are all pure coincidences).
Glow in the dark fishing coming to Japan soon.
