Is it heartless to ask child asylum seekers to prove their age?

The Conservative MP for Monmouth, David Davies, has suggested child migrants should undergo dental examinations to prove their age. Teenage boys, who'd been living at the Calais "Jungle" camp have been arriving in the UK this week to be reunited with their families. Several newspapers have raised questions about their ages. Is this a sign of a broken asylum system and a country that's lost control of its borders - or a country that has in fact lost all heart and decency? Nissar and Nayyer, a social worker, got in touch to share their views with Amol Rajan.
