Remembering the Child Migrant on Screen

As a result of industrialisation, urbanisation, and mass migrations, the problem of homeless and abandoned children emerged in urban centres. Identified by some as dangerous and threatening to the existing social order, solutions to rescue or control the children were sought, including placing-out through forced migration and immigration programs, with no plan or intention of family reunification. This article examines two experimental programs that took the form of forced migration/immigration between the mid-1800s and mid-1900s – the “Orphan Trains” in the United States and the British “Child Migrant Programme”. The dire consequences of these programs gained public attention and had a profound impact on the development of the global emerging child welfare movement and concerns for the rights of children.

2016 is the year when virtual and augmented reality takes a boost. We've already seen various Virtual reality (VR) headsets being released and Microsoft new Hololens is finally being realised thus paving the way for Augmented Realities (AR). In this chapter, we will explore further the use of VR in two particular domains in which governments are facing difficulties. The first topic is related to disorders and in the second domain we will consider migration. We will do this by creating new VR experiences, which present to the users alternative realities. The context we will be looking at is that of teacher training. As teaches they cannot fully comprehend what an autistic child or a child migrant experiences simply because they haven't lived through that experience themselves. Thus we have created an innovative inter-faculty collaboration at the University of Malta aimed at addressing this challenge. Previous studies into the importance of VR for teaching and learning, have described the ways in which people immersed in this alternative reality have been affected.

Introduction Child migrants are the most vulnerable population, prone to various health conditions due to trauma and the bad living conditions that they experience during their migration. The objective of this study was to determine the pediatric surgical conditions of migrant children treated in our hospital on their way toward North-West Europe. Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on all admitted migrants in one tertiary and one secondary level hospital from 2016 to 2018. Only migrant children with surgical issues who had been hospitalized or treated in outpatient clinics were included in the study. Results There were 47 migrants admitted to hospitals and outpatient clinics; 32 from Afghanistan, 11 from Iraq, 1 from Syria, 2 from Iran, and 1 from Algeria. There were 27 boys and 20 girls, average age 7.96 years (range: 3 months–17 years). The average length of hospitalization was 14.1 days (range: 1–48), and average stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was 7.4 days (range: 1–15). There were 29 migrants treated in outpatient clinics, and 18 were hospitalized. The cause of seeking surgical treatment was trauma in 33 and non-traumatic surgical problems in 14. The most common types of trauma were isolated fractures which occurred in one, followed by isolated head injury in eight. Polytrauma occurred in five. A lethal outcome occurred in one 9-year-old boy from Afghanistan due to severe polytrauma. Conclusion Trauma, predominantly fractures and head injuries, was the leading cause of morbidity in migrant children treated in these two hospitals.
