French authorities have summarily returned unaccompanied migrant children who travel from Italy to France through the Alps, in violation of French law and child rights protection norms. To avoid apprehension and summary return by French border police, many children cross the border at night, hiking high into the mountains and running significant risks. For those unaccompanied children who gain entry to France, many find that because of flawed age assessments, they are denied formal recognition as children. An immediate consequence of a negative age assessment is that unaccompanied children can be evicted from emergency shelter. French police have also harassed aid workers, volunteers, and activists who take part in search-and-rescue operations in the mountains.
