I remember reading, here on FR, nobama sending unaccompanied “children” to southern states, 200/300 at a time for “schooling”. So what’s the hullaboo now about separating “families”? So much BS from the democrats and so called American media just before election time.
talking about schooling i went to grade school in a ww2 quonset hut no air conditioning...oh the humanity...
This gravest concern is that children too young to remember their personal information are being sent far from their parent(s) apparently with no information available to reunite with family. An infant might be able to make a good adjustment with satisfactory new family, a young child may always remember. I was sent away for 6 months to a good boarding school while my parents fixed an abandoned house where we lived rent free for the next 12 years. Only after considerable therapy have I reconciled the damage this did to my psyche. And my parents were TRYING to do the right thing.
These actions by our government make me think of what was done in Argentina. Under a fascist government, children were taken away from political prisoners and given to politically favored families. The prisoners were sometimes killed or tortured by seeing their children be made to suffer.
I forgot to include that my age for this separation was four to four and one half, and they visited me every few weekends.
