Africa/UK: UK Police to create new team to deal with child smuggling

London's Metropolitan Police said they will create a special protection team to monitor the entry of unaccompanied children into Britain following the release of an official report Monday that found a number of youngsters who arrived alone are missing from official registers. Child welfare groups, including UNICEF, called for more concerted national action from the government to prevent the abuse of minors who are smuggled into the country. The 'Paladin Child' report monitored the arrival of minors at London's Heathrow Airport, the country's busiest entry port, between August and November last year.
