    LET THEM GO!!!

    Liam’s classmates made a video for him to see during the rep’s visit, and he was unable to because he slept through the visit. The photo of him breaks my heart. He looks very tired and very pale.

    5-year olds are typically full of energy and past the age of naps for the most part. The fact that he spends most of his time sleeping is extremely worrying and scary. He’s at the same detention center that the children being held there were protesting at the other day, and it’s 1,200 miles from his home. He should be in school, learning, playing, and growing with his friends…not locked up in a place that treats him and everyone else there worse than actual criminals.

    I fucking can’t right now man, this needs to stop.
