Because who knows...I'm glad they're reporting, it is essential, but why only about the boys? Where are the girls, are they being held too?

(35,454 posts)but why haven't we heard word one about them, what are the conditions of whatever facility they are in? I've heard several reports about the boys but not a peep about the girls. Do they have legal representation of any sort, who's looking after their interests? Certainly not ICE or the gov.

(21,164 posts)I just dont trust ICE or this administration. I hope these children are not being abused. That is my biggest worry. Weve all heard those rumors about Twitler and underage girls.

(1,816 posts)The facility the journalist was granted access to was for boys aged 10 to 17. He stated in his report this is one of multiple facilities for children and that under 10 and girls were not in housed in this facility. Since he had only been allowed in this one facility, he was only reporting on this one re-purposed former WalMart. I am certain that the girls and children under 10 are being housed in similar fashion. Or, as the reporter phrased it - like incarcerated convicts. And, from how it was described, not a white collar country club prison.
because I've heard several reposts and never once the word girl.

Yes, it's sexist, but this is chumpy and his cohorts we're talking about.

Separated from her parents at the southern border, a 9-year-old girl from Guatemala who recently arrived in Michigan often cries out in Spanish: "Where's my mom? When can I talk to my mom? When can I see my mom?"
Her cries of pain are echoed across the United States with a growing number of immigrant children being ripped by U.S. officials from their parents after they cross the border illegally in hopes of getting asylum

"These kids have been through really hell on Earth, and now they're separated from their parents," said Chris Palusky, CEO and President of Bethany Christian Services, which has offices across Michigan and works in 36 states.
"They're confused, they're scared, and they want to be with their family. They're acting out; they've been through some of the worst trauma and they're continuing to go through more trauma because they're separated from their family unit."

It's all on trump who's too chickenshit to own up to it.. Blames his own cruelty on Democrats.
I hope some day we can look back on this as just horrible memories that we're healing from and looking forward to a brighter future, she..
