A closing thought on the matter of the 14 year old deported to Colombia . . .

85. She didn't skip school for christssake

She didn't tell her mom she was going to the library to study and she really went out with a bunch of her friends to party. She has no responsibility in this. None, nada, nyet. She is a kid. They are a big government agency supposedly run by adults. She looks like a kid. So what she told them what they wanted to hear. It's their responsibility to make sure anyone who tells them a story has told them the truth. A 14 year old girl isn't necessarily compos mentis and that's a fact. Especially one who thinks it would be a kick to get deported from her home country of the US to Columbia of all places. She's in a bad spot now, she's been seriously taken advantage of and has become pregnant due to abuse. The fault of this lies squarely with immigration, both here and in Columbia. It is someone else's fault and that's all there is to it. Why are you blaming this victim? The child lied, and again, so what? This is a mess begun with a lie by a child, and I hate to break it to you but teenage girls lie sometimes. I've raised 2 so far and will raise another when my youngest gets that age, so I ought to know. It was the supposedly adult professional's job to make sure no harm came to a child and they failed most miserably. Stop blaming the victim.
