“Is he a boy, or is he a man? For Majid (not his real name), who arrived seven months ago from Afghanistan via Greece and France, hidden alone in a lorry, this is a vital question that will decide not only the course of his life, but also those of many others like him. A social worker for Kent, the local authority in Dover, says he is at least 18. A paediatrician who specialises in adolescent health says he is 15.”
