RE: The “Pit of Despair Experiment” Trump is Recreating

in #news6 years ago

In addition to the trauma and excessive fear of separation, illegal immigrant children who were forced to separate from their parents by Donald Trump's policies some time ago may also cause other problems. Even though the president of the United States has terminated the policy.

Quoting The Washington Post on Thursday (21 / 6/2018), assistant professor Jodi Berger Cardoso, who studies the effects of trauma on immigrants at the University of Houston, USA, if left untreated can cause other problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder, alcohol abuse, to suicide. children intercepted on the border are vulnerable to developing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as other disruptions because their families are fleeing violence and disaster.

Cordoso and other experts say

they worry about what happens even though the children, united with their parents . Some even put together in the detention center.

Studies show, term detention long has a damaging effect on the child. That's why there are some rules that limit the length of the authorities holding children back.

Research also sees that boys who are detained in such a short time as two or three weeks develop anti-social behavior, violence, and substance abuse issues. While the women show symptoms of depression.

While those deported to certain countries like Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala who have the highest murder rates for children and adolescents, will face many of the same dangers and traumas when running away.

"The anger that people have faced the last few days, I hope will make us think this continues to happen in our country every day,"

Cardoso said.

"What we have done on the border, it is just a small part of the trauma that is going on and will continue,"

he added.

Right, because we forced them to come here. How dare we?
