aren't there laws governing how to handle kids when parents are arrested?

ICE just abandoned these kids with no adults and left them to fend for themselves. anything could have happened to them. any pedophile could have just scooped them up.

Aren't there laws about this sort of thing?????????? If kids are in a car when a parent is arrested for DUI, they don't just leave the kids by the side of the road.... Can these ICE agents be charged with abandoning these kids???

Community leaders in Forest, Mississippi brought the children to a community gym to provide care and comfort. 12 News reporter Alex Love was granted permission to talk to community leaders and the children.

Children relied on neighbors and strangers to pick them up outside their homes after school. They drove the children to a community center where people tried to keep them calm. But many kids could not stop crying for mom and dad.
An 11-year-old girl is left crying outside in Forest after her dad was arrested.

Fighting back tears, Magdalena Gomez Gregorio, 11, expressed to us her devastation.

“Government please show some heart,” Gregoria cried. “Let my parent be free.”
