Ignoring the problem is not a solution
In recent years, the presence of unaccompanied minors residing in the country unregistered (NBMV) in the neighbourhood of the Brussels' Midi/South Station has increased. This vulnerable group consists of 11- to 18-year-old Maghrebian boys whose living conditions are worsening every day.
According to the neighbourhood's residents, their presence has disrupted public order, which was mirrored in a study, stating it has created "numerous security problems such as thefts and fights between groups".
