A school pupil who is said to have recently moved to Britain from West Africa looks more like a 40-year-old man and has a receding hairline, parents claimed today.
Photographs have emerged purporting to show the asylum seeker student, following concerns raised by his fellow pupils after he joined a school in Coventry.
The city council had to write to parents to reassure them about the situation - and the school said it has been able to verify the pupil's age, but did not explain how.
The pictures were posted on Facebook after one concerned schoolgirl shared them in a private Snapchat message amid questions over his age, reported The Sun.
'He has a thin hairline and apparently he has no birth certificate or passport. He might be the right age, he might not. Either way parents would like some clarity.'
It is believed the pupil travelled to the UK without a birth certificate or passport, before being placed at an unnamed school.

This is ridiculous, surely the school could see he's no 11 year old! How many more are going to try and pass themselves off as kids.

He has the hairline and neck of a very mature man.

I find it unbelievable that this is even allowed.

Don't say anything - that would be 'racist'.

Why would the local council, school and governers go along with what is obviously a lie? I would not let a child of mine attend a school that was so corrupt.....he could be a rapist, murderer, terrorist, God knows what, he is certainly a liar.

The place generally is so woke and far left oriented now that no one says anything and stops this kind of situation getting as far as him being a pupil.
Crazy!
