The abuse of children is not a political topic. People from every party or political leaning can agree that children should be safe, protected, and allowed to live their lives free of abuse and the negative, lifelong effects that can come with it.

The conditions these children live in, including being separated from their parents, removes needed protections and creates situations where children can be abused.
