Not in Young Offenders! Feltham YOI has a troubled history, for sure - murder as well as self-harming.

He is sectioned, she is with the in-laws.

I'm getting right off thread here, (I'll have to think of a way of linking asylum/economic migration to house price indexes:D). but I am getting more than a bit confused.

Obviously you cannot discuss individual cases with me as I might be some journalist with an axe to grind or headline to grab!

Immigration control must be real Alice in Wonderland stuff:
Juliet seems to want to stick with Romeo? Romeo's mum and dad must at least have "right to remain"? If not why pick on the youngsters?
[So mum and dad somehow claimed asylum, then the rules changed and the younger generation tried to follow by becoming "overstayers" or by failing to claim asylum in the first "safe" country they reached?]

Oh what a mess?

Any way good luck with your never ending career, trying to patch up the lives of the victims of :
The Tragedy of the Commons

There are lots of ways to link economic situations / asylum to each other, don't worry. So consider them linked!

I can't name cases. Asylum cases, when reported, are anonymised anyway, so cases are called something like HB (Ethiopia) [2007] EWCA Civ 854. In addition, where a case is identified, barristers aren't allowed to comment much if they were involved - which is why you always see someone's solicitor standing on the court steps making a statement, not the barristers. It's a rule that doesn't seem to apply if you are a top QC, of course....

Romeo's parents, brothers, and sister are British citizens. They arrived here between 1998 and 2000 and claimed asylum. Romeo and Dad got split off from Mum and other children during the people-trafficking from Afghanistan, and Romeo got stuck in Afghanistan. Juliet never left.
