Letting them have access to a

Don't forget the poor kids in care is usually as a result of association to poor relatives friends or influndes , who might like a sniff of the £1,600 as these 18 year old are very exposed to an independent world and in some cases could turn back to those very people .
Back to under 18 asylum seekers who as suggests inbthe articlr could be included and then extended its not a good idea .
