Tusla Children Sent To A Foreign Land While The State Accommodates Economic Migrants
By Susanne Delaney
Yes, they're sending away our vulnerable children to the UK while accommodating tens of thousands of asylum seekers in hotels here in Ireland.
It has been reported that €1.3 million euro in tax payer money is to be sent to Scotland supposedly for the care of ONE single child for one year (€23,000 a week). This child is not the first one to have been sent away either.
Judge Alec Gabbett commented that, in this particular family law case, the "cheque book is open for obvious reasons" (meaning the risks involved in caring for this child are so great). However, in my view, the chequebook is open for obvious reasons to do with profiteering from the (Tusla or unregulated care induced) misery of children.
This is not the first nice big cheque to be on its way to some (likely unregulated) "care provider" in an entirely different nation, and when the child turns 18 it is possible they will be turfed onto the streets of Scotland. They may enter an adult care facility if they have severe intellectual or physical disabilities, but otherwise, they're on their own.
Abandoned and left to fend for themselves (this has already happened to children in care who have been sent abroad).
All children are discharged from Tusla's responsibility on the very first day of their young adult life. Unless, of course, we are talking about unaccompanied asylum seeker "minors" who pose as children. THEY get accommodated indefinitely (transferring from Tusla's care to IPAS hotels).
This may surprise many, but what is more surprising is that real children in Tusla's apparent care are actually being sent to the UK regularly. This warrants deep scrutiny. There is not only a deep cruelty inherent in that [to send often traumatised minors to a land they don't know], but there are serious unaddressed safeguarding issues.
How do we know what happens to these children exactly? Who are these care providers? Have they too been falsifying Garda vetting checks (like two non national African pastors unregulated care providers have been found doing in Ireland?) Are children also vanishing from care there like they are here? (and if so, what are the government and Gardaí doing about it exactly?).
We already have children in care in Ireland being targeted by rape gangs (as noted in the UCD report on predators targeting children) and we know vulnerable children in the UK have been targeted by rape gangs for decades. So we have a right and duty to ask: WHO is watching the minors sent there, AND are these people and companies trustworthy?
If none of what I have said registers as concerning, then listen to ex Scotland Yard Detective John Wedger to understand the scale of child sex trafficking (and cover up) happening involving vulnerable minors in the UK.
While you are at it, ask why our government takes in economic migrants like it's our moral duty while simultaneously justifying sending away our most vulnerable. It's time the nation started really understanding what is going on and why. None of what we are seeing is done out of goodness and kindness. It's greedy, dark, and corrupt will have devastating consequences for all of us.
If all of it was altruistic, the government wouldn't abandon children in care on their 18th birthday while spending billions on asylum seekers and refugees, many of whom ARE disingenuous.
The Dept of Justice has previously admitted [in a secret memo to Helen McEntee] that most asylum seekers are undocumented and are actually economic migrants. Most of them come over from the UK (where they have been living and therefore are not entitled to claim asylum here).
The Information Commissioner forced the Dept to release the info after the DOP tried to initially hide the memo in order to shield illegal untraceable scammers from the ire of the public. The very public the Dept of Justice is tasked with protecting (see comments).
