Children separated at US-Mexico border had ‘no interaction’ with their parents: report
- According to a court filing by pediatrician Dr. Paul Wise, children as young as 8 were temporarily separated from their parents while in Border Patrol custody this summer due to overcrowding. Phone contact and direct interaction between parent and child were minimal or non-existent.
- Wise's report also revealed that some children younger than 8 were separated from their parents, contradicting Border Patrol's denial. The separation of families and lack of communication had significant and potentially lasting harm to children's mental health.
- While Border Patrol claims that separations only occur with single fathers, Wise found that separations were due to operational reasons, causing significant distress and disorientation among the children involved.
