The small shelter along the Texas border to Mexico held 60 beds and a little playground for children....Colleen Kraft told The Washington Post, because as much as she wanted to console the little girl, she couldn’t touch, hold or pick her up to let her know everything would be all right. That was the rule, Kraft said she was told: They’re not allowed to touch the children.
“The really devastating thing was that we all knew what was going on with this child. We all knew what the problem was,” Kraft said. “She didn’t have her mother, and none of us can fix that.”
Kraft, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said colleagues who were alarmed by what was going on at the border invited her to see for herself, so she visited a shelter run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

“The really basic, foundational needs of having trust in adults as a young child was not being met. That contradicts everything we know that the kids need to build their health,” Kraft said.

Toxic Stress

Such a situation could have long-term, devastating effects on young children, who are likely to develop what is called toxic stress in their brain once separated from caregivers or parents they trusted. It disrupts a child’s brain development and increases the levels of fight-or-flight hormones in their bodies, Kraft said. This kind of emotional trauma could eventually lead to health problems, such as heart disease and substance abuse disorders.

The United States government placed an unknown number of Central American migrant children into the custody of human traffickers after neglecting to run the most basic checks on these so-called “caregivers,” according to a Senate report released on Thursday.

In the fall of 2013, tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors traveled to the U.S. southern border, in flight from poverty and gang violence in Central America. At least six of those children were eventually resettled on an egg farm in Marion, Ohio, where their sponsors forced them to work 12 hours a day under threats of death. Local law enforcement uncovered the operation last year, prompting the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to open an inquiry into the federal government’s handling of migrants.

“It is intolerable that human trafficking — modern-day slavery — could occur in our own backyard,” Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio and the chairman of the subcommittee, told the New York Times. “But what makes the Marion cases even more alarming is that a U.S. government agency was responsible for delivering some of the victims into the hands of their abusers.”

As detention centers became incapable of housing the massive influx of migrants, the Department of Health and Human Services started placing children into the care of sponsors who would oversee the minors until their bids for refugee status could be reviewed. But in many cases, officials failed to confirm whether the adults volunteering for this task were actually relatives or good Samaritans — and not unscrupulous egg farmers or child molesters. The department performed check-in visits at caretakers’ homes in only 5 percent of cases between 2013 and 2015, according to the report.

The Senate’s investigation built on an Associated Press report that found more than two dozen unaccompanied children were placed in homes where they were sexually abused, starved, or forced into slave labor. HHS claimed that it lacked the funds and authorities that a more rigorous screening process would have required. However, the investigation also found that HHS did not spend all of the money allocated to it for handling the crisis.

The agency placed 90,000 migrant children into sponsor care between 2013 and 2015. Exactly how many of those fell prey to traffickers is unknown, because the agency does not keep track.

New York Magazine media bias rating is Left.

New York Magazine's bias is considered to be liberal. Despite the fact that New York Magazine’s readers reside in a location that many consider to be liberal, in the 1990s, the magazine chose Tucker Carlson, a conservative talk-show-host, as the company’s primary national correspondent. The AllSides Bias Rating™ of the New York Magazine is "far left." The majority of AllSides users who voted agree that the New York Magazine has a left-sided bias in its stories.

More On New York Magazine

The New York Magazine was founded in April of 1968 by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker and has an emphasis on New York City news. When the magazine was founded, its prime competitor was the New Yorker; at the time, New York Magazine was thought to be less polite, establishing itself as a “cradle of New Journalism." Over time, the magazine broadened its scope to become more national. Now, the New York Magazine covers the news, culture, entertainment, and lifestyle defined in New York City life. Each week, 1.8 million people read the magazine. The company has created other news websites as well, such as vulture.com, thecut.com, and scienceofus.com, each focusing on different areas of the news.

Here it is folks. A source Jack believes. Problem is the information they dispense is based on peoples opinions and not facts. If they agree with this or that which is in the reported news. Decisions based on their own particular brand of bias.

Some of us here are reporting facts uncovered by the press as to our governments behaviors. Jack only believes something when it matches up to his opinion. Sad, very sad.

You lose, yet again. Truth defeats lies.
Our ruling
Schlapp said the Trump administration’s policy of separating families is "the same way Barack Obama did it."
Obama’s immigration policy specifically sought to avoid breaking up families. While some children were separated from their parents under Obama, this was relatively rare, and occurred at a far lower rate than under Trump, where the practice flows from a zero tolerance approach to illegal border-crossings. We rate this False.

Obama Lets Down Immigrant Women
Jessica González-Rojas
The Daily Beast
Washington

This article was originally published on The Daily Beast.

With record deportations and families torn apart, we are in the midst of a humanitarian and moral crisis. ... The hardest stories come from the mothers. Between 2010 and 2012, the Obama administration deported more than 200,000 parents of U.S. citizen children, and more since that time. Many of the children of deported parents end up in the child welfare system, and may be separated indefinitely.

The Denver Post
U.S. immigration policy splits families when parents are deported
PUBLISHED: August 25, 2012

“How can my country not allow a mother to be with her children, especially when they are so young and they need her?” Rony Molina asks. “And especially when they are Americans?”

It’s a question thousands of families are wrestling with as a record number of deportations means record numbers of American children being left without a parent — despite President Barack Obama’s promise that his administration would focus on removing only criminals.

Nearly 45,000 such parents were removed in the first six months of this year, says the federal department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

At least 5,100 U.S. citizen children in 22 states live in foster care, according to an estimate by the Applied Research Center, a New York-based advocacy organization, which first reported on such cases last year.

One of these days America might well discover how much Trump is being paid to screw his own country. Would Trump place money ahead of country? Yes, knowing he lied many times to his draft board to avoid serving his country and spends all his time since Vietnam, including now in the White House, counting his $billions. Putin is rich enough to pay Trump a monthly bribe.

These are the same scumbags who profess that abortion is a mortal sin and
that these "babies" have a right to live. Fucking hypocritical slugs.
Yeah, that's taking the moral high ground. You show 'em how it's done.
Whoever supports this should have a baby taken from them and have their throat slit for all that's worth. At least that would be more honest.
Trump/Sessions is condenming these babies to a life of misery.

I hope it comes back to them TENFOLD.

Geez, it sounds so simple that any parent who DOESN'T do that, but instead sneaks across the border with their child(ren), can be rightly suspected of trying to enter the USA illegally and then avoid detention by using their young'uns as bargaining chips.

It seems that we should be blaming the parents for so callously putting their children at risk instead.
