Some young asylum seekers who have disappeared from hotels are being exploited by criminals.
After five months in the gang, selling heroin and cocaine, Aaron managed to get out. He was scared of being caught by the police and struggling with the violence gang members inflicted on those who were late with payments.
Four hotels in England are contracted to provide temporary accommodation to lone under-18s while they await a place in care - but in 2022 dozens of children began going missing The Home Office says it has no alternative to using the hotels to give unaccompanied asylum-seeking children a roof over their heads due to the rise in dangerous small-boat crossings
"They follow them to the hotel and then pick them up, take them. They will use them for whatever they need and a certain amount of them will use them for illegal means," he says."They don't want to be criminals. They are forced into it. The hotels are almost like opening a supermarket for gangs. You're putting youngsters on display."
