It's just wonderful!! All those boys are okay and bravely swum out, and those incredibly brave rescuers!! I hope they all get International Awards!

Also - that guy shown in the front of the video is not too hard on the eyes!!!!

it must have been frightening. To get out, they had to swim for about 3 miles, in the dark, through 6ft wide space that goes up and down and winds around. It must have been frightening.

I'm so glad!

parents.

And let's seriously consider their asylum applications and pressure the countries from which they come to protect human rights more diligently.

unconscionable and illegal. That's what's ILLEGAL.

What form of accountability and justice will follow....

of young children, even infants - seemingly permanently for thousands of the children, never to see their parents again - as a means of enforcement of any policy, domestic or international.

Even if those children had had some kind of plague, some lethal, highy-infectious disease, their parents would at least have been able to view them though some kind of window, or wearing protective clothing and masks.

Insanely wicked.

Every disgusting action perpetrated on, I'll say 'innocents', is quite difficult to process.

I'm not young or even middle-aged and thus it grieves me so to witness what has happened to our nation. 😪
