Children left behind -anyone have a good solution?
When parents who are said to be undocumented or illegal are arrested and sent out of the country there are sometimes children left behind. I don't know whether ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is not trying to find out if there are kids or if since often the kids are citizens they don't concern themselves with them or if the parents don't bring up having kids or ???. The one phone call rule does not seem to hold for arrests for being undocumented or for ICE actions so parents may not be able to0 let someone know to check on their children. What I do know is that kids 5 and younger are being left here with no provision for their care. Some are young enough so they have no idea where mommie went. Sometimes the ppl who end up with them are very good kind people probably sometimes they are not. What can be done by individuals,by organizations, by authorities? Please pray for these children.
Someone said the kids will prolly go to an orphanage or home. Unfortunately even that is not likely bec in our area and many others Hispanic kids are like an underground population and children's services is not getting involved. Beyond that with mom gone the kid's documentation is gone and therefore the child often is not eligible for any help. I am part of an organization that is trying to help some but even finding the kids is hard. ICE doesn't tell anyone even if they know there are kids and the kids have no idea who to call or any way to make a call and neighbors who may themselves have legality issues are not about to call child welfare,.

It's sad to say that not much will happen to the child. the best things to do are to find out about organsations who help these children and donate to them, or make one yourself. gather some people in the community that belive as you do and try to find productive ways to help these children. most of the time the hild will probably go to an orphange or some child care establishments.
