An investigative report from 'The New York Times' found that the youngest baby separated from his family at the border was a four-month-old baby.
Unlike most families at the border, the Mutu family is from Romania. His parents, Vasile and Florentina, are Roma, a minority group with a long history of enslavement, violence, forced sterilization, and discrimination in Europe. After a life of poverty, begging, and odd jobs, the family sold their house and left for Mexico, where someone promised to transport them to the U.S. border, where they could seek a new life.
Constantin was transported to Michigan where the foster system was shocked to see a child so young, even among the growing stream of migrant children into the system. He was placed in a rural home and well cared for — although even his foster parents knew that the best place for him was with his parents. They made desperate, weekly video calls for months trying to get their baby back.
