The children at the border will seek introspection to solve their problems after the acceptance that their parent(s) will no longer return.
...In the first home I scream for six weeks. Then I am moved to another family, and I stop screaming. I give up. Nothing around me is known to me. All those around me are strangers. I have no past. I have no future. I have no identity. I am nowhere. I am frozen in fear. It is the only emotion I possess now. As a three-year-old child, I believe that I must have made some terrible mistake to have caused my known world to disappear. I spend the rest of my life trying desperately not to make another mistake....
...In later life, I was never able to really settle down. I lived in different countries and was successful in work, but never able to form lasting relationships with partners. I never married. I almost forgot to mention my own anxiety and depression, and my many years in psychotherapy....
The thousands of children at the USA border will become maladaptive in life. The Pope would have a great impact on the ideas of the people of Guatemala and they would trust God with a journey to the USA border. The stark reality of cruel treatment never once entered their minds.
Most of the world trusts the USA to exhibit compassion and not cruelty.

The Roman Catholic Episcopal Conference of Guatemala has estimated that 65 to 70 percent of the population is Catholic. Alianza Evangelica, the official umbrella organization for Protestants, has estimated that 35 to 40 percent of the population is Protestant.

Growth and development of abandoned babies in institutional care in Nairobi.
By Otieno PA, Nduati RW, Musoke RN, Wasunna AO.
...RESULTS:(click here) Seventy per cent of infants were below six months old and 73% were abandoned within the first week of life. Abandoned babies were significantly thinner with the mean LUMAC of 10.8 cm versus 12.3 cm (p = 0.02) Institutionalised babies were significantly wasted (p = 0.00001) and stunted (p = 0.00001). Abandoned babies were significantly delayed in development (p < 0.0001). In all the four sectors tested for, institutionalised babies showed significant delay, p < 0.0001 in each sector.
CONCLUSION:
This study demonstrates that infants under institutional care have poorer growth and development compared to mothered infants....
Institutional care of children result in victims and poor growth and development. And the USA knows better.

The first time Nathan Fox, PhD, (click here) stepped into a Romanian orphanage, he was struck by the silence. "The most remarkable thing about the infant room was how quiet it was, probably because the infants had learned that their cries were not responded to," says Fox, who directs the Child Development Laboratory at the University of Maryland.
The babies laid in cribs all day, except when being fed, diapered or bathed on a set schedule. They weren't rocked or sung to. Many stared at their own hands, trying to derive whatever stimulation they could from the world around them. "Basically these kids were left on their own," Fox says.
Fox, along with colleagues Charles Nelson, PhD, at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston, and Charles Zeanah, MD, at Tulane University, have followed those children for 14 years. They describe their Bucharest Early Intervention Project in a new book, "Romania's Abandoned Children: Deprivation, Brain Development, and the Struggle for Recovery" (2014).

Neglect isn't just a Romanian problem, of course. UNICEF estimates that as many as 8 million children are growing up in institutional settings around the world. In the United States, neglect is a less obvious — though very real — concern. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 676,569 U.S. children were reported to have experienced maltreatment in 2011. Of those, more than 78 percent suffered from neglect....
The list of problems that stem from neglect reads like the index of the DSM: poor impulse control, social withdrawal, problems with coping and regulating emotions, low self-esteem, pathological behaviors such as tics, tantrums, stealing and self-punishment, poor intellectual functioning and low academic achievement. Those are just some of the problems that David A. Wolfe, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, and his former student Kathryn L. Hildyard, PhD, detailed in a 2002 review (Child Abuse & Neglect, 2002).
"Across the board, these are kids who have severe problems throughout their lifetime," says Wolfe, recent past editor-in-chief of Child Abuse & Neglect.
Now, researchers are beginning to understand some of the ways that early deprivation alters a person's brain and behavior — and whether that damage can be undone.
President Trump is stating he has no problem with the treatment of families at the USA border when children are separated from their family; then it is he and those that carry out his cruel policies that need to be charged with crimes against children.
In this case, Trump claims to be a victim of long established USA law that requires him to take the actions against families. Mr. Donald Trump is not a helpless man and has instituted many executive orders to change the law. In immigration, he has made many such orders. These measures at the USA southern border are Trump politics, which not include crimes against humanity.
The USA Federal government now has custody of thousands of children that crossed the USA border from Central America and many from Guatemala with some children missing. It is the Trump Executive Branch, including Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services that need to be charged with crimes against children.
The border crossers where bringing their children out of Central America where the USA has seen migration for several years now, due to the victimization of children by the drug cartels. The migrants are leaving behind danger for their children and are being met by a hostile USA government they did not expect and entered into separation and uncertainty of their children. Their trust in migrating to save their children from violence and crime has been violated without sound reason.
Federal legislation (click here) provides guidance to States by identifying a minimum set of acts or behaviors that define child abuse and neglect. The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) (42 U.S.C.A. § 5106g), as amended by the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010, defines child abuse and neglect as, at minimum:

The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) (42 U.S.C.A. § 5106g), as amended by the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010, defines child abuse and neglect as, at minimum:
- "Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation"; or
- "An act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm."
This definition of child abuse and neglect refers specifically to parents and other caregivers. A "child" under this definition generally means a person who is younger than age 18 or who is not an emancipated minor.
While CAPTA provides definitions for sexual abuse and the special cases of neglect related to withholding or failing to provide medically indicated treatment, it does not provide specific definitions for other types of maltreatment such as physical abuse, neglect, or emotional abuse. While Federal legislation sets minimum standards for States that accept CAPTA funding, each State provides its own definitions of maltreatment within civil and criminal statutes.
The USA has prized itself on being an immigration "Melting Pot" where people find acceptance and economic viability to change their lives to survive and thrive away from government or organized crime brutality. This practice by President Trump and his administration is a severe departure from the practices of the USA.
He and his administration, including those facilitating these practices at the USA southern border are guilty as sin of genocide.
Below is a definition of emotional abuse from an organization that services in the UK:
Emotional abuse (click here) is the ongoing emotional maltreatment of a child. It’s sometimes called psychological abuse and can seriously damage a child’s emotional health and development.
Emotional abuse can involve deliberately trying to scare or humiliate a child or isolating or ignoring them.
Children who are emotionally abused are often suffering another type of abuse or neglect at the same time – but this isn’t always the case.
