Is the United States Government Guilty of Child Abuse?
Question by courage: Is the United States Government guilty of Child Abuse?
Six-year-old Kebin Reyes was unlawfully detained for ten hours by immigration officials in the early hours of March 6, 2007. He was taken into custody with his father, Noe Reyes when U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement Agency (ICE) agents raided his home in San Rafael, California.
During the course of the raid, Mr. Reyes immediately gave the ICE agents his son’s U.S. passport, and asked several times to make a phone call to arrange for a family member to care for Kebin. Each of these requests was denied, and Kebin was forced to watch as his father was handcuffed and taken away. The immigration officers then told Kebin to place his own arms behind his back, like his father’s.
At the ICE processing center in San Francisco, Kebin and his father were placed in a locked room and were only provided with bread and water. Mr. Reyes’ additional requests to make a phone call were also denied and agents made no efforts to seek alternative care for his son.

Please remember that this was a United States Citizen illegally detained by Immigration officials.
