Undocumented Teens Escape Skierniewice Orphanage

Worried residents of Skierniewice, a city in central Poland, are fuming after three unregistered teenage migrants, two from Guinea and one from Iran, escaped from the city's child and youth care centre in the middle of the night. The teenagers had been taken to the centre by Polish Border Guard officials following their arrest at the country's border.

The Skierniewice City Hall said the only person with proper identification was a 17-year-old Iranian boy. The other two, who knew French and some English, had no papers, and their ages were still unknown. They were being housed in the "Dom" centre which has special emergency response spaces for such instances.

Police stick to the procedure, but escape happens.
To ensure safe homing, city officials arranged temporary mattresses to sleep on and took the standard onboarding route. "All the steps were introduced with the comfort and safety of both the new arrivals and city's residents in mind," said the city's spokesman PrzemysÅ‚aw Rybicki.

But the youths left the facility without permission sometime late Monday or early Tuesday. "The appropriate services, including the police, were contacted without delay," Rybicki added.

Edited Coverage Raises Questions
The headline on initial local media reports read: "They was here, now they gone. Illegal who were housed at orphanage escape." The headline was later toned down, and mentions of the escape bumped to the bottom of the article, prompting questions of transparency and editorial judgment.

The debate in the area over migrant placements in childcare homes and the uncontrolled migration of minors in Poland has been generated by the incident.
