So you'd watch your elderly relatives die, and your wife and daughter being raped. Assuming of course you had enough money for the whole family of course.
But you don't have the money for that. You need to get the strongest member somewhere they can earn money. Which means going somewhere they speak the language and where they have people who will help them.
It's not nice. It's basic human help. The traffickers told Johnny to drop his phone and papers. They told him it gave him a better chance at asylum. Why? Because there is no legal route for Johnny. If there were, he would still have his phone and papers.
You really are a daffodil sometimes
They certainly have enough money to come all the way across Europe.
Why would they die, be raped. These are fighting age men with many thousands in their pockets.
