'It is atrocious that yet another family has to mourn their child because of our collective inability to fix our broken immigration system,' lamented vcardenasDC in response to the death of Anadith Tanay Reyes Álvarez. WelcomeWithDignity
On May 14, Reyes' mother Mabel Álvarez took the child to a treatment area after she complained of abdominal pain, nasal congestion, and a cough, CBP said. Reyes tested positive for Influenza and was given medications including Tamiflu and Zofran. CBP said she was also given acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Medical records show that Álvarez took Reyes to the Harlingen station's medical facility three times on May 17. On the last visit, Reyes appeared to be having a seizure. After her body went limp and she began bleeding from the mouth, medical staff started CPR and CBP had the girl rushed to Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen. She was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
"We are heartbroken to learn of another child's tragic death in government custody. No child should be locked in a jail, no matter where they were born,""There is a long andhistory of systemic abuse and mistreatment of children in CBP custody," she added.
