Drawings by migrant children show families behind bars in telling images of their experience at U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention center
Doctors share migrant children's haunting drawings: 'These children coming into our country need a voice'One drawing depicts five stick figures behind bars watched by two guards in dark hats. Another shows five people lying down in a cell, covered by blanket.
AAP, the nation's largest pediatricians group representing 67,000 members, has urged Custom and Border Protection to avoid placing migrant children in detention facilities for long stays due to physical and mental health harms that can result. Families stop at the respite center for a shower, clothes and a meal before heading to their next destination.
Even when migrant children relocate to other parts of the nation, those lingering thoughts and feelings can stick with them.
