These immigrant children were kidnapped.

The media has to begin to call this what it is. These children were kidnapped. That is it. There are no other vocabulary words anyone should be using.

On MSNBC, Mika called it kidnapping this morning. Everyone needs to say it.

They are dispersing them to places such as Bethany, etc. to be placed into “good Christian homes”.

Southwest Key is overrun by Evangelicals. Betsy DeVos has a hand in this. She already has 85 children, presumably babies or toddlers. We may never find them.
