A MEMBER of the expert panel on asylum seekers has slammed the government for allowing children to be placed in detention on Manus Island.
Refugee expert Paris Aristotle said the myriad safeguards outlined in the expert panel's report handed down in August had not been implemented.
While recommending Australia re-establish offshore processing centres for asylum seekers, the panel also outlined a range of measures designed to ensure the mental health of detainees was protected.
Mr Aristotle said his greatest issue of concern was people, and children in particular, being placed in arbitrary detention.
"I don't think that was ever a part of the panel's recommendations, and in my view, something needs to be done to address that immediately," Mr Aristotle said in an interview on Lateline.
"If they were free to move around, if there were adequate services available for them and so forth, then that may have been an acceptable option."
Mr Aristotle said it was unacceptable children were still being placed in detention more than six months after the panel handed down its report.

Save the Children denuncia: a Siracusa e Agrigento ci è stato impedito di incontrare i migranti in arrivo e identificarne i bisogni di protezione.

“Consideriamo gravissimo il fatto che, in occasione degli ultimi sbarchi sulle coste delle province di Agrigento e Siracusa, le Questure abbiano negato l’accesso agli operatori di Save the Children – ha dichiarato Raffaela Milano, direttore programma Italia Europa di Save the Children. - I migranti in arrivo sono stati immediatamente rimpatriati senza che si sia potuto accertare la presenza, tra le persone respinte, di minori soli e di altri soggetti vulnerabili”.

Darío, de 22 años, llegó a Bélgica desde Brasil en 2005, siendo aun adolescente. "Al comienzo fue difícil. No hablar el idioma me impidió hacer ciertos trabajos, y también estaba el riesgo de enfermarme, porque no tenía ni tengo seguro de salud", relató.
Afortunadamente, dijo Darío (nombre ficticio) a IPS, la gran comunidad brasileña en Bruselas lo recibió con los brazos abiertos.

"Por supuesto que uno también sufre la explotación financiera y moral de ciertas personas que se aprovechan, pero yo no me quejo. La vida es una secuencia de experiencias buenas y malas; es parte del riesgo que asumo para mejorar mi vida", agregó.

A significant number of foreign youngsters placed with foster families in Ireland have had a bad experience.
When 21 children were interviewed for a report by Barnardos and the Health Service Executive (HSE), researchers noted claims that some were underfed, physically abused and screamed at by some carers.
The study revealed that at least a third of asylum seeking children separated from their family subsequently experienced a placement breakdown while in a foster home.
Mary Kenny, manager of the HSE's national office for unaccompanied minors, said a general lack of foster carers meant it was harder to match children to suitable families.

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.”
