Day 1 – July 18, 2019

Girl, age 15
“I started taking care of [name redacted, age five] in the Ice Box after they separated her from her father. I did not know either of them before that. She was very upset. The workers did nothing to try to comfort her. I tried to comfort her and she has been with me ever since. [Redacted] sleeps on a mat with me on the concrete floor. We spend all day every day in that room. There are no activities, only crying.”

First comment claims it, and I’ll tag you to verify. Claim = agree to call the White House every day until this hell is over and the kids are free.
