Last week was sent Mission examination of SVT on medical age assessments. Assessments that involves X-rays of the wrist and teeth, followed by an opinion of an expert on the estimated age. It is a controversial method that it is imprecise. Pediatric Society has discouraged its members from contributing to the assessments because it is considered unethical for a medical layman, the Swedish Migration Board and not the doctors will eventually determine the age.
The program could get the impression that Pediatric Society through its refusal contributed to adults “child” living with real children, these “kids” have committed criminal acts against children and get the punishment reduced or no punishment, because they considered children.
Anyone want it to be so easy stop reading now.

three different institutions assess asylum seekers child’s age at three different procedures: officer at the Migration Board, the court and the municipality. None of them are bound by the other’s assessment, and none of them are bound by the Pediatric Society.
Last year, 35,369 unaccompanied to Sweden to seek asylum. There are advantages to be considered as children: more chance to asylum and good man, school, health care. Migration Board assesses age for taking a decision on asylum. Until this decision, a party that does not look obviously grown up treated like a child by the Migration Board. The Ombudsman has repeatedly opposed the decision taken during the age of the proceedings.
The municipalities are responsible for children during the asylum process, but not adults. Municipalities are free to make their own assessment of age and must not follow the Migration Board’s assessment when they place candidates. Children should stay with children.
If the offense occurs on such HVB homes for minors lead prosecutor investigation. The prosecutor does not have to follow either the Migration Board or the municipality’s age assessment, but if the accused, for example, objects that hen is a minor, the prosecutor must refute it.

Today Rättsmedicinalverket make medical age assessments on behalf of the prosecution, and there are rättsontodolog available for those asylum seekers who want to prove their age. Migration Board can not force anyone to undergo such: it follows from EU law. Anyone who is not involved run the risk of getting age persons, increased the Migration Board because the burden of proof rests with the applicant.
There are incentives to declare an incorrect age, and in almost all cases it is impossible to clearly distinguish 1:17 -year-old from a 19-year-old. A lot of unaccompanied do not know their age. Reliable methods for age assessments would be good, but there are none yet. There we are. And we have not even come to the details.
+ Sound doubt.
– Unsound cross security.
