7. He talks with the whistleblower who quit his job at the center recently.

He couldn't take what he was seeing .

Just said the staff is overworked & yet the CEO & wife clear over $1,000,000 a year.

Some kids from Brazil speak portugese but no staff does so a breakdown in communication

Kids as young as 4/5 yrs are not cared for the way they should be at the young age.

Kids are traumatized & act out resulting in more authoritarian methods used.

Staff is worn down.
MORE.

Bless this man for telling the truth on Nat'l TV.

ICE is a NAZI system these days. This 0 tolerance policy is completely cruel. SHIT! "These kids are traumatized", Antwar Davidson said. He is the whistle blower.

I have two senators who are against this, I guess it is time to call those from other states. I know how to do it.

One week of training to deal with traumatized children. Turnover among workers is high. Staff can't deal with it. The company running it clears a million dollars a year.

"A Sin Against God"

Thank you Sen Boxer for humiliating the self righteous posturing of Trump Sessons, Pence, Huckabee, & Ryan on live TV. All eyes are on you, speak!

This was a MUST SEE.

Every minute that we see nothing change, is another minute of trauma & horrific heartbreak for all these children

14. I hope he keeps talking. That made my blood run cold.

Children as young as four, untrained caregivers who speak no Portuguese. Kids throwing chairs and running the halls crying. I seldom wish there was such a thing as hell but right now I’d consign quite a few people there.

Unbelievable.

OK, she talked about how right wing bullying of law enforcement moved Comey to shit his pants about Hillary but figure there was no need to mention the Russia investigation. The reich wing takeover of our media has come to full fruition. How will Dems ever be able to turn around this 30 year brainwashing of the feeble minded among us?
