    "This boy seemed devastated—quiet and withdrawn. He barely spoke. I asked if he needed a hug. I kneeled down in front of the recliner, and this kid just threw himself into my arms and didn’t let go. He cried and I cried." http://nyer.cm/qNb8eNM

        This little kid isn’t mentally ill he is grief stricken and scared. The solution is to reunite him with his family not psychiatric drugs and a stay in a mental hospital.

        Dear @Atul_Gawande, We need all "hands on deck." It's time for non-violent civil disobedience (i.e. risking arrest) in order to stop the violence against children. @MA_PPC is leading the way here in Boston, led by Savina Martin and @rozziecole. Best regards, Phil Lederer

        “I asked the clinician, ‘When is this child going to be reunited with his parents?’ He was evasive. First it was ‘Oh, well, we don’t know.’ And then it was ‘Well, he won’t be reunited with his parents unless he behaves.' Unless he behaves? This is emotional abuse.

        Such a great use of resources - 4 adult men including one that is armed to bring a small child to be seen by doc. So glad the detention people are making medical and behavioral calls on the kids since they are so qualified. #thisisnotamerica

        I read this with great dismay, Atul. It is horrible. But what is not is that you will be helping innovate in health care in your new CEO role with BH, Amazon, and Sachs! That is excellent news!

        I can’t believe that each and every one of these kids can’t be returned to their families. Their pictures can be posted on the internet by a trusted intermediary organization. A loved one, deported or not, could contact the organization, which could negotiate their return.

        Expensive? Not compared to the cost of warehousing them indefinitely in tents on the Texas border or at bases around the US. The press shouldn’t rest until this is done. Stories repeatedly say kids won’t get back to their families. That’s unacceptable.
