There are a ton of kids moved around between countries on passports that don't belong to them. In the UK you hear frequently about kids moved between here and parts of Africa on passports that are another child's passport. A fingerprint will make that harder.
Then you have the poor kid whose body was found floating in the Thames and turned out to be a kid that was brought in from Africa and then was slain because they thought he was a devil. He had lived in Germany for a while - as it turns out - but they had to do a huge search to try to find out who he was. If living in Germany had meant he needed a passport with his finger prints on it in order to move around it would have been a lot easier to identify him.
Of course there are abuses that could take place and there are ways around the fingerprints inorder to move kids around illegally but atleast it makes it a bit harder.
