CPS - GOOD NEWS! THE UNITED NATIONS TOLD THE US TO STOP THE VIOLATION OF CHILDREN'S RIGHTS.

The eyes of the world is getting focused on the US and some of its illegal practices.

This came to my attention because it was on our local news stations SABC, in South Africa.

The eyes of the world is getting focused on the US and some of its illegal practices.

There is a practice by the Trump administration to separate children from their parents and families who cross the border of the US illegally.

The United Nations said this is a gross violation of the children's rights and international law.

As revealed by the New York Times in April, the US authorities were responsible for the separation of several hundred children from their parents. This happens under a policy of criminally prosecuting undocumented people crossing the border. So the parents get arrested and the children are being put under "sponsors care".

The human rights office said it appeared that, as The New York Times revealed in April, United States authorities had separated several hundred children, (this is more like thousands) including toddlers, from their parents or others claiming to be their family members, under a policy of criminally prosecuting undocumented people crossing the border.

That practice “amounts to arbitrary and unlawful interference in family life, and is a serious violation of the rights of the child,” Ravina Shamdasani, a spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, based in Geneva, told reporters.

This is what President Donald Trump had to say earlier on twitter:

Put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there parents once they cross the Border into the U.S. Catch and Release, Lottery and Chain must also go with it and we MUST continue building the WALL! DEMOCRATS ARE PROTECTING MS-13 THUGS.

As if it is not him that is responsible for this:

Last month, the Trump administration announced a “zero tolerance” policy for illegal border crossings, saying that it would significantly increase criminal prosecutions of migrants. Officials acknowledged that putting more adults in jail would mean separating more children from their families.

It is because of this illegal practice that the US administrations lost track of over a 1000 migrant children

The excuses that they are giving is ridiculous:

The government did realize last year that it lost track of 1,475 migrant children it had placed with sponsors in the United States, according to testimony before a Senate subcommittee last month. But those children had arrived alone at the Southwest border — without their parents. Most of them are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and were fleeing drug cartels, gang violence and domestic abuse, according to government data.

This unbelievable that children would arrive alone at a border without their parents. Then they are placed with "sponsors" which choose to not respond to the administration when they were looking for the children. What kind of "sponsors" is this, that would ignore the administration? If that is true, they should not have been put in their care in the first place. Would a so-called sponsor, not receive money for looking after these kids. Then the government must have the details of their whereabouts unless they were "lost" because of human trafficking. This is unthinkable, horrible but most likely.

THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT THE US IS STARTING TO GET NEGATIVE ATTENTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS.

“The U.S. should immediately halt this practice of separating families and stop criminalizing what should at most be an administrative offense — that of irregular entry or stay in the U.S.,” Said, Ms. Shamdasani, the spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
