The harrowing story of unaccompanied minor children17 total reviews
Comment from jake cosmos aller
timely poem in light of the looming mass deportation and the promise to end brithright citizenship and the cynical attitude that the solution to breaking up families with US citizen children is to deport the whole family who cares about the children anyway? It could get very ugly. Good poem about this topic.

Preaching to the choir here sweetie. Women and children are being pushed back into the dark ages. We need more women in places of power. Everywhere. Whenever you get a chance to vote about anything, vote for women. It's the only way. Happy Turkey Day. Karen

I wonder how some of these politicians that encourage open borders can sleep at night? These poor children are being used by drug cartels that care nothing for any human being, young or old.

The author's words are alarming, sad and creative. The poem is
also thought provoking. As I read the author's words my heart broke
thinking about these children. The artwork is perfect and goes well with the theme and words of this poem.
Hi Regina, Happy Thanksgiving! Maria

Hi Regina,
It is sad that these children are ignored here where they thought life would be better. But it seems to have gotten worse.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great holiday season

I wish there was an easy answer to help these children, but I'm not sure there is.
released the results of an 18-month search for answers about how the administration cared for minors in government custody after they came over the southern border. The report also examines a sloppy process for finding, matching, and releasing children to live with adults, sometimes strangers.
"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had the power to prevent the exploitation of children by securing the southern border," Cassidy said in a statement. "Unfortunately, Democrats treated the border crisis as a messaging issue for their presidential campaign rather than address the humanitarian catastrophe that has resulted from failed Biden-Harris policies."

The roughly 160-page report was published Tuesday morning. It alleges "top administration officials knew about the dramatic increase in illegal child labor, but took no meaningful steps to prevent its occurrence" and "prioritized speed over safety when releasing [unaccompanied children] to adult sponsors for political gain due to their failed immigration policies and the crisis at the southern border."
Specifically, Cassidy documented four failures on the part of the Biden-Harris administration. The administration first took actions that resulted in less due diligence in the vetting of adult sponsors for children, which put children at risk. Second, the government increasingly relied on nongovernment entities to vet those sponsors and manage children in custody.

It is disheartening how children disappears these days, even those in the care of the so called sponsors. You posed a question, waiting for answer. Well done, dear. Thanks for bringing this to the fore.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Of the Disappeared, speaks to the incredible numbers of both the trafficked youth and the appalling numbers of people who could but don't act to stop it.
