CASE STUDY 1: Said

Conclusion

 

Said is a boy who comes to Spain from Morocco because of his family’s bad economic situation in their country. He comes with high expectations, he wants to find a job so he can send money to his family, There’s something he doesn’t know and it is that you need to be at least 16 years old if you want to work legally in Spain… and he’s only 14. He has to wait until he’s 16 and he must go to school meanwhile, also because the law says that children have the obligation to attend school at least until they’re 16.

He would need to find somewhere to sleep and where to eat. Although social services would help him with that, he must have a legal tutor, someone to make decisions for him till he’s 16.

Said could stay over until the completion of the secondary school (16yo) and only then he’d be able to look for a job and start sending money to his family.
