Abbott ‘has the blood of a child on his hands,’ a congresswoman said. ‘No good person would do this,’ said Mexico President López Obrador.

    So where were the parents?

      Trying to escape the country they came from to look for a better life. You think this kid wandered the desert themselves?

        Yeah, but when they went to cross, surely they could’ve gone to an official border crossing, and done a little paperwork.

        Yeah there’s all sorts of situation ls where someone might try ro get there kid here. It’s sad bit largely a failure of actions and policies we have had in the region. It doesn’t matter if their parents were with them, left behind or waiting for the kid at the destination. All that matters is that there’s a kid dead in a inhumane death trap that should never have been built. Biden should mobilize the national guard and have it removed since abbot isn’t gonna do it.

        Why didn’t they go with the kid?

            That’s not a helpful statement, just a deflection to a legitimate question. Where are the parents and why are they not here also making the crossing

              There are all sorts of reasons unaccompanied minors attempt this journey; information about this is widely available if you read. It’s clear the original question here was intended to try to find a reason to blame the victim and their family rather than the actual cause of their death

                  Can’t handle the reasoning, eh?

                    The reasoning is so clear and obvious that it doesn’t require any sources apparently. Just go ask these people yourself who are doing this to find out why 🙄

        Yeah? Kid went a thousand miles, he didn’t do it alone. And at the most critical point, the actual crossing, where were the parents?

          I find it sad that you feel no empathy for the kids (or their parents), and that your first thought is to assign blame. I don’t see the point in saying something so callous, but perhaps your intention is to spread hate. You wouldn’t be a hateful person now, would you? I suppose only you know the real answer to that. Good luck to you, I know you’ll figure it out one day.
