Make biological age tests compulsory for 'Child' refugees entering the UK.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

It has become apparent that we in the UK are being made fools of by accepting refugee 'Children' claiming to be far younger than they clearly are. It is a danger to our children to allow 'Refugees' clearly in their late 20's to join 11 years olds in our schools.
Verification of age is not too much to ask. In fact it is our right. I find the acceptance of refugees far older than they claim, not only to be illegal. But an insult to our laws, and a danger to our children.
