Why did they kidnap these children and send them

[malaise]

to so many different states and in the dead of night?

[Pachamama]

1. To hide them....

And make sure they would not be easily found...

That is my guess on the answer....because there is no other explanation.

[malaise]

2. Perhaps more people should have hit the streets over torture and the violations of the

Geneva Convention.
The Con has told the planet that he is the law.
Lock him up

6. I think it's more sinister than that.

He's evil through and through and so is the evil elf and she-Nazi. It's costing them a lot of money to do this so there's a big reason and it's damn sure a really bad one.

[malaise]

9. It's costing taxpayers money

They are enriching themselves

[sarcasmo]

11. Agreed. I had the same thought.

[ProudLib72]

3. Spread them out over a larger area and there don't seem to be as many of them

I wonder if they they were anticipating vigilantes raiding the centers and setting the kids loose. It's kind of far fetched, but that is something they would have done. So anticipating the worst based on what they would do?

[bigtree]

4. it should alarm everyone

...that your question hasn't been answered yet.

I'd like to know who, specifically, is directing the transport and destination of these children.

[malaise]

7. I hope the goons and their collaborators all end up in prison

This is madness

[world wide wally]

5. Chaos is the name of the game.

In This case it's more like KAOS and we need a Maxwell Smart to outwit the Trumpophiles.

[malaise]

8. This is way beyond chaos

This is criminal

[world wide wally]

12. Straight out kidnapping

[lostnfound]

14. Kidnap 100, lose ten, they will call it a "mistake" or "90% were returned" nt

[AlexSFCA]

10. its more banal than that

they sent the kids to where the beds were available. they were not at all prepared for this so had to located all avilable beds around the country while more facilities are being build near the border. Children are processed by HHS dept and adults by DHS, two different dept without common database or exchance mechanisms. It should be noted that trumps incompetence and negligence may be our case only saving grace in this mess.

13. A psychological / sociological experiment? Human trafficking? A test case?

Personally I think it’s a real possibility. Look who he selected to head the CIA.

[malaise]

16. But did no one stop and think that this is kidnapping

And these children are hostages?

I think men and women were too busy thinking about profits from this racist 'venture'.
I never thought this could happen in 2018"

[lostnfound]

19. I've been calling it kidnpping for days... disturbing they aren't being photographed

I don’t believe it has anything to do with “protecting their right to privacy”.

Haven’t heard the trump ad inistration, when asked what their plan to reunite families is. Wouldn’t a logical process be along the lines of “each child and parent was photographed when initially detained”...

[malaise]

22. Only of you thought they were fellow human beings

This is some racist criminal proceedings here.
I hope folks end up in prison.

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Trafficking.

[lostnfound]

20. I think so too, but no one wants to think that. Or, experimentation.

There’s been a lot of that in our history.

[roamer65]

21. Probably both.

Starting to smell like the Franklin Commuity Credit Union scandal from the 1980’s.

Go look it up.

[Hekate]

17. Because it is an act of terrorism, and because it is unthinkably cruel.

That's all I've got for in-depth analysis today.

[suffragette]

18. They're shipping the parents all over, too. Separating them physically as much as possible.

I think it is important that we keep asking why they are doing this.

[Meowmee]

23. I dont know

There could be a variety of reasons, but it seems like it was well planned. The airlines who flew them etc should have refused to do so right away. This is kidnapping at the least and I hope they will all be prosecuted for this from the top down. Apart from the hack on the election this is for me the most frightening turn of events from this fake administration.

24. For the xenophobe vote
