Why is Child Protective Services not involved?

Political persecution and gang violence.

The sounds of explosions rock the living room of a small Burlington apartment as Alex and his wife and their 10-year-old son watch their television.

The video, taken a couple days prior, captures scenes of violence erupting in the family’s hometown of Otavalo, Ecuador.

“This is a neighbor who was shot, and he ended up dying,” Alex said through an interpreter. “You can see the bullet wound.”

Indigenous Ecuadorians are in the midst of a nationwide protest against rising fuel prices and government persecution. Ecuador’s president has in turn deployed the military to towns such as Otavalo, where international humanitarian groups have condemned the use of excessive force on peaceful demonstrators.

“The government is actively attacking indigenous people, is actively mistreating people,” Alex said. “There’s huge discrimination.”

Fear of their own government isn’t the only reason they came to the U.S. Alex was also targeted by members of a local organized crime syndicate. A scar on the right side of his neck is a permanent reminder of the experience.

“I was threatened, I was beaten, I was tortured,” he told Vermont Public, which isn’t using his last name because his immigration status puts him at risk of deportation. “The gang made demands and made clear that if I didn’t do what they wanted, they would kill me. That they would kill my family, the one thing I love the most.”

Only until the fetus is born. Not after birth.

I mean, I understand why his mom didn’t open the door, but the fact is, she didn’t. So he was kept with his other parent. If he’d been taken from both parents and put into foster care, people wouldn’t like that either (understandably).

Yes, child protective services should have been called. ICE could have left them safely in their care, and driven away with the man they cam to take.

The social worker from CPS could have asked the child, and the school officials if need be, who his mother was, and the child could have then pointed to the lady in the house and said "That's my mom". With ICE away from the house, mom would have very happily opened up the door to take her child. Probably at the same time she opened the door for her middle school child.

That's what should have happened. Don't be obtuse. "The mom didn't open the door" for Pete's sake. There were options. Once Ice went away, plenty of options. Why didn't they call Child Protective Services?

There are at least 3800 other children in ICE detention centers. There is no oversight. No one knows what's happening to these children.

Hope karma is coming for the whole Trump apparatus.

Should I call Castro? Crockett? What can we do to get this child released? I feel sick over this.

In your home, after you’ve been put in a detention camp in El Salvador.
