Unaccompanied minors who seek asylum are under HHS and RFKJr due to shit Trump 1 did. They are placed in foster care or with aide groups (mostly Catholic charities) that have agreed to bear costs of housing, food and education while they wait for courts to decide if they stay.

Blame the victim? The parent was experiencing trauma l when they were asked. There is no such thing as informed consent with an irrational person. Parent wasn't thinking straight, sure. That's being critical. But the parent should have never been asked. That's personal ethics and morals
Gdubya π°>β (@garyweir.bsky.social) reply parent
A person who has been traumatized (the parent) is not the person to blame. They are upset, distraught and acting irrational. Even if they do consent it's not informed consent. But you do not know what you would do, or say, or allow when it happens. They should never have been approached.
