To the editor:
Bring to mind your beloved son or daughter, your precious grandchild or niece or god-child whom you adore. Pull them into your lap, hold them in your arms, and feel their warm head snuggle into your chest. Close your eyes and breathe in their deliciousness. Feel your love.
Now imagine your child being dragged out of your arms, kicking and screaming and crying out for you in panic. Imagine your beloved and frantic child being taken away to some unknown place and being dumped among strangers. You can not reach them, they are gone. They are taken away from their family, the people who love and care for them. You are gone.
No matter what your political beliefs are, no matter if you believe deterrence works or not, this is, in anyone’s definition, inhumane. It will scar these children for the rest of their lives. It is cruel and unusual punishment. There are laws against this.
As a friend said recently, if we allow this, as Americans we have lost our soul!
Pursue whatever political priorities you hold dear. Please speak out against this truly barbaric practice.
