if the family paid 30 grand to have her smuggled they need to apportion some of the blame on them too. Smuggling is a crime, whether they thought they were acting in the interests of the family member or not.

Re: 39 people found dead in lorry

Just how bad must it be for a young woman to feel the need to emigrate at great risk and expense?

I know that most people on here are pretty hard line about wanting to enforce a stronger UK immigration policy, which is fair enough.

But, as parents, how many of you aren't sharing a tear at the horror of what someone's daughter has gone through? I know I am.

I imagine every parent is sickened, saddened and shocked at this dreadful event. Anyone who isn't must have a hard heart but trafficking is against the law for a reason. It can't continue or more people are going to die.

These traffickers have to be caught and harsh sentences imposed.

Re: 39 people found dead in lorry

I really don’t understand anything .

According to this article in The Guardian one of these young Vietnamese girls had already been returned on to France .

Why oh why do they want to come to the UK?

Free housing and subsistence, free healthcare and education, lack of police and legal punishments provides freedom to break the law.

Just for starters.
