Parents today are terrified on behalf of their kids, and for good reason. In the blink of an eye, our kids will be adults facing more serious threats than we ever did—climate change, gun violence, political polarization, and disinformation, to name a few.

The goal was to make it impossible for the captives to return home and be accepted back into their communities. Betancourt's study provides insight into the long-term psychological and developmental effects of family separation, war, and exposure to violence.
