A few months ago the news made me, as a mom, sick to my stomach. Children and parents separated and children crying out for their parents while the government takes them. No. The images were disturbing and honestly my morals were crying for me to say something. In Catholic school, we were always taught about values and going home to my parents was the bedrock of my upbringing. Outside the home, the world can be mad, but because my parents raised me and took care of me, I grew up with confidence in myself. I don’t know who I’d be without my parents. I don’t want my children to ever know what that might be like and I don’t wish separation on any family.
And it’s shameful that the news media has moved on from the story when children were not fully reunited. To me, standing up and reminding people of the horror that children were stolen and not returned is of paramount importance. So to me the timing of the release is great because it lets us talk on social media about the need to reunite families. The hard cases still aren’t solved.
