Notice that the story is about a “family”.
I’ve seen few “families” in the pictures we’ve seen of those heading into Europe. Unless 15-30 year old men are breeding with each other and producing 15-30 year old male babies.

And they're gentle, too. And orphans.
My first thought was they probably sent the one of the few legitimate families as a calculated move.
