According to a report by the Population, Border and Migrant Affairs Commission of Mexico City, over 90,000 children have been deported without a parent or guardian in the first 7 months of this year and for every three adults deported, one child is left behind.
This is fucked up.

Is it just me, or have there been A LOT of these stories lately? This combined with the people getting deported based on hospital records is really upsetting me.

habladora, i know, it doesn't make any sense. writing this post almost made me cry.

This is child abuse. To put children in a position where they do not have adult supervision by a legal guardian or parent is reckless endangerment and child abuse.
This is not a close call.
