“The legacy of the ‘zero tolerance’ policy: Traumatized children with no access to treatment”

Adayanci Pérez is one of more than 2,500 children that were separated from their families at the border by the U.S. government as part of the Zero Tolerance policy. This 6-year-old Guatemalan girl was away from her family for three and a half months. Before going back, she was diagnosed with acute trauma and PTSD. She was never the same when she returned.
