'Where's my mom?' cries girl as immigrant kids separated from parents arrive in Michigan

snip//

Separated from her parents at the southern border, a 9-year-old girl from Guatemala who recently arrived in Michigan often cries out in Spanish: "Where's my mom? When can I talk to my mom? When can I see my mom?"

Her cries of pain are echoed across the United States with a growing number of immigrant children being ripped by U.S. officials from their parents after they cross the border illegally in hopes of getting asylum

"These kids have been through really hell on Earth, and now they're separated from their parents," said Chris Palusky, CEO and President of Bethany Christian Services, which has offices across Michigan and works in 36 states.

"They're confused, they're scared, and they want to be with their family. They're acting out; they've been through some of the worst trauma and they're continuing to go through more trauma because they're separated from their family unit."
