and report to the proper authorities that a child was in danger if I had knowledge that any of my clients did this to a child in their care. Yet the United States Govt is allowed to do this without any repercussions. The irony is not lost here.

If I knew a parent/caregiver allowed a child to go without bathing, brushing their teeth, good nutrition, wear dirty diapers, let them wear dirty clothes for days. Leave them in lice infested surroundings. I am REQUIRED BY LAW to do something about it. OTHERWISE I could face penalties. But ya know, we don't share this concern for these children.

suspected child abuse or lose my job. I reported several cases to CPS over the years. Where is the CPS for the GOP govt? They are the abusers and must be stopped. Such sadistic behavior is the norm for this batch of GOP Nazis.

Donate to the ACLU!

If these states where the camps are, if all Adults are mandated reporters, anyone who knows and doesn't report could face fines and jail time.

Is Donald J. Trump really that bad?

Why yes, yes he is.

I want no part of it, and will fight tooth and nail to dislodge this crime against life.
