In a guest commentary about the border by a Dr. Casey Lion, regarding her own children, she stated: “I know I would do anything to keep her safe and protect her from harm.” (“Taking kids from parents has dire health effects,” The Herald, June 20).
Would that include not taking your child to a location where you intend to break the law? What parent that truly cares about their kids would do that?
The current outrage in the media over the border is driven by a political agenda. They smell blood and are going all in for the attack. One party says they are reacting based on basic humanity. The power side of the other party wants all of this stopped, which includes preventing anyone from using a child as a token or shield ever again. How can you not get behind that?
To me, this is the same mentality as those that place blame on the gun and not the criminal that pulls the trigger. Blame the people that place children in this horrible position, and not our men and women that deal with the illegal side of the border issue.
If you really care about protecting all children, you should demand that vetting take place to insure they are in the care of their parents.
