The children with no nationality

In London and a few other in the UK, there is said to be hundreds of children living with no nationality.  Living with no shelter, money or food.  Some are forced to work for sex in order to gain a few euros or even pennies to be able to buy food for the day.  According to official records these children don't exist.  The problem is not only in London but it is most apparent in the Capital.  With no citizenship they can't apply for education or housing.  Some children have come from Syria and Libya into the UK legally but never were registered then have no choice but to live on the streets homeless with nothing.  Law enforcement do not seem to be helping these children out.  Instead they give them excuses or turn a cheek.  The UK has a responsibility to help these innocent children out at least by granting them citizenship.  Since this report a few children have been granted their citizenship but are still homeless.
