4. This is heartbreaking. Lots of comments in the comments section on the article bending over

backward to say this is no big deal, but these were children who were forcibly taken from their parents for no reason at all, and sent away to a place where they died. Children as young as 3.

The heartbreak that represents, inflicted for no reason whatsoever, paralyzes me.
