Children who have been in the UK for a protracted period may be allowed to remain, but others are sent to their countries of origin, as perhaps the son of Manuel Bravo, who committed suicide whilst in immigration detention pending removal with his son, in the apparent belief that this would entitle his son to stay in the UK (http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/news/2005/Sept05/curr0905-2. htm).
