Migrant Toddler Separated from Family Had to Have Diaper Changed by Other Detained Children

“She had to teach other kids in the cell to change her diaper,” Michelle Brane, director of migrant rights at the Women’s Refugee Commission, told the Associated Press on Friday after speaking with the 16-year-old girl at the facility.

“She was so traumatized that she wasn’t talking. She was just curled up in a little ball,” Brane said of the teenager, who has since been reunited with her aunt.
