    Oh, my heart. This thread about the *US government* report about the trauma children forcibly-separated from their parents underwent. Sometimes I think the word trauma is used a little too lightly these days, but here, it doesn't even begin to convey the horror of it all.https://twitter.com/LisaDNews/status/1169259316681068545 …

    zeynep tufekci added,

    "A 7- or 8-year-old boy was separated from his father, without any explanation... The child was under the delusion that his father had been killed + believed that he would also be killed. This child ultimately required emergency psychiatric care."

        This is a level of wrong-doing that's going to require much more than an apology when we finally face up to it.

        It’s tragic. But so is trafficking children. 70% of the children are not with their real parents. It’s very important to ID them so we keep children safe.

        Childhood abuse-related trauma is an all-too-underreported reality. But trivializing trauma, e.g. calling a tough work commute"traumatic," is also common. Describing a fleeting experience that way needs to be called out. Because understanding profound trauma can reduce suffering.

        They shouldn’t have come here illegally. The wall will prevent a lot of this.
