Dear Mr Cameron,
In response to this and other articles in relation to the UK deciding to accept unaccompanied children:

Is it only me? I don't get it!!! Surely unaccompanied children are a bigger drain than accompanied children. It simply does not make sense. If we are already short of teachers and foster families, why invite unaccompanied children?
Adults contribute to society, they teach, care and support. At least when parents and grandparents join them will any refugees have the ability to partly self-support and contribute to the economy if we allow them to do so.
And may I also point out the poor emotional well-being of a child caused by being separated from its parents which will need ongoing Health resources.
The diversity of how a family is made up is what is needed to build self-sustainable communities. If not family, then build communities with people of all ages.
Yours Sincerely,
Heidi De Wolf
