Three migrant children drew alarming images of life in Border Patrol detention centers and the American Academy of Pediatrics released the images.
Three children, two from Guatemala and the third, whose country of origin is unknown, that had been separated from their families, drew alarming pictures of what they witnessed in U.S. Customs and Border Patrol detention centers.
The Respite Center is a facility where many families go after being released from CBP custody en route to their final destination. It is where many families get their first shower, clean clothes and a hot meal after arriving in the U.S. The drawings were given to Goza and a staff member who visited a few CBP facilities last Wednesday. They came from a mental health clinician and social worker specializing in Latino child trauma, according to AAP.
"As we were leaving, I saw two beautiful girls whose knuckles were white because they were holding one another's hands so hard because they were afraid of being separated," Goza told ABC News."I asked if they were unaccompanied and found out they were. They were no older than 5 years old. It turns out they were sisters."
"Here was a little boy who didn't know if he was going to ever see his father again or be able to reach out to his aunt -- the only contact he had," Goza said.
