No, I&#x27;m not &quot;misunderstanding&quot; anything. If the refugee camp is safe, has food, etc.,  there&#x27;s no reason for <i>anyone</i> to leave on a dangerous journey. If it&#x27;s <i>not</i> safe, there&#x27;s no excuse for leaving your children there.<p>I realize that life in Germany is more <i>pleasant</i> than life in a refugee camp in Turkey (or has been, historically... that seems to be changing), but that&#x27;s an entirely different thing.
