        “The Trump administration’s policy of splitting up families is creating a burgeoning population of dislocated and frightened children, held in makeshift detention centers near the border... or scattered in shelters and foster homes across the country.”http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2018/06/09/borderseparations/Z95z4eFZjyfqCLG9pyHjAO/story.html …

        This is shocking, a likely violation of International Humanitarian Law. Once the beacon of the world, we are no better than the most beastly despot-ruled state where people are treated as expendable.

        This is horrifying. As a pediatric nurse, I know how important the relationship is between children and their primary caregivers. The trauma will have lasting effects. Are the adults taking care of these children childcare professionals? This is state-sanctioned child abuse.

        The policy to systematically take children was officially implemented -May 2018 by AG Sessions. It was the brain child of John Kelly when he ran DHS as a DETERRENT to immigrants. There may have been trials to test its effectiveness before May 2018. It was not an Obama policy.

        Take it up with the reporter, who's one of many who seem to delight in throwing Obama under the bus.

        It’s like exactly what they did to us First Nations in Canada by taking the children away and putting them into residential schools.

        “the official said, citing examples such as parents needing hospitalization or officials discovering the parent had a criminal record...”: obvious lies? Atul, where’s your commitment to evaluating counter arguments to emotive assertions?

        “The government official, who agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity, said he could not provide up-to-date statistics,...”: morally courageous official who avoids cross-examination as to veracity, who values his salary and benefits over corroborating immortality publicly?

        Every individual responsible for this should be tried for crimes against humanity. Every. One. Each border agent -- you are responsible for your actions.

        Economically stupid as it must cost a lot to look after children removed from parents!
