I hope the parents of those two dead Guatemalan children

[malaise]

Sue the US government for wrongful death. What's good for the goose...

What a lovely Christmas message for the world - just another crime against humanity.

1. How long before we learn the numbers go up a lot higher of children who have died

In their custody , or been severely abused? There will be many lawsuits for their crimes, and they'll win them too. It'll also open up and exposed the many things trump has had done to them. They've intentionally damaged these kids permanently for the rest of their lives on purpose. Child abuse is a crime. They should be held fully accountable for this.

2. Not long - it's cold

and flu kills
I wish the perpetrators and their enablers all that the perpetrators wish for non-white people.
Enough of these crimes.

3. We need someone on the inside

to grow a conscience, collect evidence, and go public.

4. The whole thing is a nightmare. These are the ones we know about.

They didn't bother to screen the workers at the kindergulags so there may be sex abuse going on as well. This is one of the most shameful things this government has ever done. Parents can sue, but there kids are still dead.

6. How long before Trump is able to keep them secret?

It’s just a matter of time until they are able to keep it a secret when these kids die. It’s possible some deaths are already being kept secret. We do know thousands of parents don’t know where their children are.

Trump loves these deaths. He’s been talking about getting tough on “these animals” for years. In his mind, murdering their children is a good thing to punish them. He’s literally said he doesn’t consider them people.

History has shown us that whenever a leader dehumanizes a group that is then held in secret, atrocities happen. I’ve been saying this and will keep saying this, it’s a matter of time until mass graves are found. Atrocities are happening right now at our border.

7. That won't happen

There are way more decent Americans - truth will out.

8. Wrong

The US is no different than any other country. You have a cruel and unjust system in place and tens of thousands at the border being held without their rights being honored, many being held in secret away from the eyes of even Senators who want to check on their well being. You have a leader dehumanizing them and calling them animals who aren’t people, as well as calling for them to suffer as punishment for trying to come here and to discourage others from trying. History has shown over and over that this is a recipe that guarantees abuses and atrocities. The prisoner and prison guard relationship is already abuse prone without all these other factors.

History is a guide, and it shows that these factors when combined always lead to the worst kinds of atrocities. What we’ve already been able to see (babies in cages) is atrocious. At this point we know there are bodies buried somewhere, the only thing left is to find them and stop what is happening to others. What is happening at our border is something that we as a country will be marked with for generations.

9. Weren't the children taken to the hospital for treatment?

What was the crime against humanity?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Detaining/separating them for one

Keeping them in poor conditions is another.

[oberliner]

13. The boy who died was not separated

His father accompanied him to the hospital.

The poor conditions pre-date this administration.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. Those children should not even have been in our custody

but since they were, the authorities should have been/should be doing a better job of caring for them.
