JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 inhumane conditions’ at a migrant children’s detention facility The Associated Press detailed conditions inside a Customs and Border Patrol detention center in Clint, Texas, were, allegedly, 250 infants, children and teenagers are being held. According to the AP, there's not adequate food, water or sanitation inside. The report describes teen mothers and other younger kids being asked to care for infants and toddlers on their own, with little or no help from any adults. "Basically, what we saw are dirty children who are malnourished, who are being severely neglected. They are being kept in inhumane conditions. They are essentially being warehoused, as many as 300 children in a cell, with almost no adult supervision. We have children caring for other young children. For example, we saw a little boy in diapers — or he had no diapers on. He should have had a diaper on. He was 2 years old. And when I was asked why he didn't have diapers on, I was told he didn't need it. He immediately urinated. And he was in the care of another child. Children cannot take care of children, and yet that's how they are trying to run this facility. The children are hardly being fed anything nutritious, and they are being medically neglected." "Almost none of the children that we interviewed had come across the border themselves alone. Essentially, they came across the border with family. And they are trying to be reunited with family who are living in the United States. Almost every child that I interviewed had family, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, siblings here in the United States who are waiting for them and are ready to care for them." "These children can be placed with their families immediately, if we wanted to do that." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/a-firsthand-report-of-inhumane-conditions-at-a-migrant-childrens-detention-facility?fbclid=IwAR3KlQ0ZmtqaYakvBOp7yCr30P0_eQfTfSljQQl38hShDK9fW1-zXb7zVkk I am so so sick at what is happening in our own country. Edit: I remember just turning six in the summer break right after kindergarten. My family and extended family went to Disney World. When we were there I got separated from my family. I remember in school we learned that if we get lost somewhere to go to an employee or someone in a police uniform and tell them what happens. I was terrified. I went to someone who was selling popcorn or something out of a cart. He walkie talkies the security. Before the security even got there my mom found me. It was about 5 to 10 minutes and I was trying not to cry terrified wondering if I was ever going to see my parents again. Imagine being separated and caged for days or even possibly years. These poor kids. Has anyone else ever been lost before when they were really young? Can you imagine what these kids are feeling?

Morphine Prince 109,896 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It’s very sad. And many Americans won’t care because they dehumanize people if they brand them as “illegal.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 These detention centers are, unfortunately, inherently inhumane by design. They shouldn't be in there at all. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
