Current Events > Hot tip for America:

(+) Yeah! (+)

Stop separating children from their families, putting them in cells with no beds, soap or toothpaste/toothbrushes, and making slightly older children take care of toddlers because your big manly police organisation is incapable of actually looking after the children they detain.

Children are dying. Countering claims against these detention policies with "you only care so you can get cheap political points!" or "well maybe their parents shouldn't have dragged them over the border!" doesn't change or justify the fact that children are dying. It doesn't make these practices any less inhumane, and it doesn't make you any less of a bastard for letting this slide. Deflection is implicit acceptance of these inhumane policies. Decreeing that they made their bed and should now sleep in it is explicit acceptance of these policies.

Detain families together, or give every detainee adequate bedding, hygiene products and supervision. As it stands, the acceptance of these detention centres is the acceptance of the mistreatment, neglect and abuse of children.
