What’s Going On With 1,500 Migrant Children DHHS “Lost Track Of”…?

The Times goes on to report that “Two years ago the subcommittee released a report detailing how health and human services officials placed eight children with human traffickers who forced the minors to work on an egg farm in Marion, Ohio[1].”

Picture was taken in 2014 – depicting detention facility that Philip Defranco recently reported has been shut down in the years past.

Sure, one might say this is a “low percentage” but, at the same time… one child accidentally placed with human traffickers is already too many children being placed with human traffickers.

What if We (i.e. “good people”) Actually Did Something Instead of Doing Nothing?

And by “doing nothing,” what I mean is “scapegoating.”

As many of our parents annoyingly reminded us growing up: When you point a finger at someone, out of blame, there are always three fingers pointing back at you.

It’s as if we’ve become so far dependent upon our elected officials that we’ve become apathetically indifferent (read: inactive) when it comes to issues such as these.

We need to be careful; careful in that, many times we find “justice” or rather, a peace of mind, through simply finding someone to place all the blame upon; it appeases us and it usually allows us to move forward with a feeling that “all is well.” Again, the key operative word here is “feeling.”

In order to combat “fake news” we must get better at differentiating feelings and appearances from that which is actual justice.

Blaming the “right” is too easy; spewing hate at POTUS is usually ineffectively counterintuitive (in other words: rage, similar to fire, usually burns the individuals carelessly toying with it).
