Children have been separated from their parents at the southern border as part of the USA’s Federal government zero tolerance policy. Parents have been prosecuted for entering the country illegally and their children have been taken away from them and placed into separate custody. More than 3,000 children have been detained in the last few months (December 2018 to February 2019). Very few have been able to reunite with their parents and the others continue to be in captivity being treated like animals. This inhumane policy will scar these innocent children forever.
