Nearly 13 years have passed since the Millennium Declaration boldly stated, “As leaders we have a duty…to …the children of the world, to whom the future belongs.” Concerning the detention of young people, we need to ask ourselves a tough question: are we perhaps emphasising the future of children, while forgetting about their young lives today.

I will never forget, never.” This is the response of one young person asked about their foster family as part of research into the experiences of separated children who come to Ireland seeking protection. The research, "Foster Care and Supported Lodgings for Separated Asylum Seeking Young People in Ireland: The views of young people, carers and stakeholders", was commissioned by Barnardos and the HSE to evaluate the impact of the changes that have been made in recent years in how care is provided to these young people, who arrive in Ireland alone often fleeing conflict in their home countries.

Twenty-two-year-old Dario (not his real name) came to Belgium from Brazil in 2005. Just a teenager at the time, he told IPS he “came to escape the economic, social and political conditions in Brazil and to learn another language”.
“In the beginning it was hard. Not speaking the language prevented me from doing certain jobs and there was also the risk of getting sick because I have no health insurance."
Luckily, he says, the large Brazilian community in Brussels welcomed him with open arms.
“Of course one also suffers from the financial and moral exploitation of certain people who take advantage, but I don’t complain. Life is a sequence of good and bad experiences; it is part of the risk I took to better my life.”
