What happens to children of parents who are caught in the process of deportation?? According to a judge in Missouri, those children go to foster care.? The logic couldn?t make more sense: the parents abandon their children, so the state is in its right to take over.? It is estimated that over 5,100 children are in foster care while their parents face deportation.? It doesn?t matter the parents provided a home for the children, or that the children enjoyed a bed every night and a meal every day.? All that matters is that the parents committed the civil offense of remaining in the country without papers.? It is one thing to enforce the law; it is another to separate families that have done nothing wrong besides seek a better future for themselves, a more comfortable lifestyle for their children, a safer place to call home.
Judge Terminates Detained Mom?s Rights, Allows? Missouri Couple to Adopt
By Jorge Rivas
On Wednesday a Missouri juvenile court judge terminated a Guatemalan woman?s rights to her 5-year-son because they believe she abandoned her child when she was imprisoned after a 2007 immigration sting at a poultry processing plant.
Encarnacion Romero, the mother of the child, cried as she was leaving the courtroom, according to the Joplin Globe. Romero?s attorney say they will appeal the decision.
The case garnered National attention when ABC?s ?Nightline? covered the story in February 2012.
