Caging children is child abuse. Forcibly splitting children from their parents is child abuse. This should not be a left/right issue. This is humane versus inhumane, right versus wrong. bit.ly/2MVLtTM
13 years ago, I co-founded @lumos, which works to stop child incarceration, reunite families a the truth about child institutions, often wrongly called ‘orphanages.’ There is a huge body of research to show that institutionalising children causes profound harm.
Institutionalisation was especially prevalent in Eastern Europe, where children were taken from their families to be ‘raised’ in state-run institutions. The statistics on these children’s subsequent life outcomes are appalling. (See @lumos website for all research)

I haven't said much publicly about the horror happening at our border because it's *almost* too hard to get my head around, but now this new policy masquerading as a fix is just a bridge too far. #STOPDETAINMENT #ReuniteFamiliesNow
Snatching kids in TX and bringing them to HARLEM! It's enraging. They're making it so these families will have an even harder time locating their children!! It's hard enough to navigate the child welfare system as a citizen. Imagine as an immigrant.
