How does psychological trauma affect children's developing brains? In this powerful talk, social worker Luis H. Zayas discusses his work with refugees and asylum-seeking families at the US-Mexico border. What emerges is a stunning analysis of the long-term impact of the US's controversial detention and child separation policies — and practical steps for how the country can do better.

Ur not
I’m getting a little tired of Ted never showing up to his events
Mexican Joker is gonna come soon…
Might as well keep the children and child traffickers together. No one cared to report Epstein.
boo
Blame the parent’s who put these children in these situations.
The sad thing is a lot of these kids are being smuggled, sent back to the cartels and recycled.
These parents are FLEEING VIOLENCE. They have no other choice, you moron.
@Cleverly relatable UsernameAnyone can claim that and you bleeding heart morons will believe them and let them in
@Cleverly relatable Username they have created and supported he violence.Same story as with columbian people and pablo escobar.Without regular people pablo would be just a local drug dealer.
American children are also separated from their parents when said parents commit crimes. No TED talk on that though, huh?
@Jester thank you for your understanding.
And it is equally wrong and traumatic
@Wake Up What videos exactly? Please elaborate
@IntegrityIsNotForSale you should copy and paste this as a direct comment so more people see it.
@Jester yeah we’re sending Navy seals into Mexico to kidnap asylum seekers and jail them. It’s Trump’s big plan to MAGA.
The result is obvious, they’re creating MEXICAN JOKERS!!!!
Oh, are you going to talk about how its creating a wave of terrorists in 10-20 years?
A Mexican joker.
@Angsty Tantrum mi familia. ¿Donde está?
Here’s a wild idea, if they came over legally they wouldn’t be separated, crazy, right?
There is NOTHING illegal about walking up to a border patrol agent and saying you are seeking asylum in the US. Please, enlighten us with your ultimate wisdom of how a person seeks legal asylum in this country. Go ahead and google it if you like.
@Jester They don’t automatically get asylum, a judge determines if they will qualify or not. We were talking about children being separated at the border, are you trying to change the subject?
@Jester They are not welcome, nobody has invited them,they are breaking the law. When I wanted to fly to USA I have had to pay for visa and take a validity,crime check etc and I entered at the American soil legally.Simple as that, just stop comitting the crimes and respect rules of other countries.
@Your Master Gggg Shame you got in then.
Great. Now TED talk is being invaded by nonsense.
TED has been infiltrated.
Look up Candace Owens tours ICE Detention Centers for the TRUTH
She never showed anything in her video.
It’s the same way in the United States you just don’t publicize it you’re all involved
The psychological impact of child separation when parents go to jail… kids should go to jail with their parents as well….. lol
You must be referring to when the Parents SEND their Children to the Border for Families WITHOUT kids of their own so they can skirt our laws and be released after 30 days… Right? You must be referring to the Trauma their OWN families create? Since that is WHY THEY ARE SEPARATED in the first place you LIBERAL LUNATIC PROPAGANDA CHANNEL.
You are a delusional ted talker
He is a criminal.
Never heard complete BS in my life
Child / Parent separation when parents try to break into a country that is not their own. Wars now being threatened against the Mexican Cartel. Call me crazy…but maybe we should make Mexico a State.
경영이형이 왜 여기있어….?
South Park already did this. It causes a mexican joker.
