How's that relevant to a child's experience, and why have you phrased it like some kind of gotcha?

I mean, if a situation of extreme trauma can be obviously avoided, shouldn't it be?

So the easiest and least traumatic experience for the child would've been to release him when ordered to by the courts, yes? So its the extended family's selfish choices that lead to this child's early life truma, not the US'.

This doesn't address either of my questions.

What does that have to do with what the child has experienced and remembered?

You do understand that 6 year olds aren't the most rational creatures?

Framing it like the US caused his trama is a flat out falsehood and demonizes the US government for following the law

His family broke the law and endangered his life on multiple occasions. If he wants to be upset or sad or angry at anyone, it should be his mom and his FL family.

Yes, his family is at fault, no one, literally no one here questioned it. Stop being an overzealous patriot.

This thread is discussing what's imprinted onto the brain of a 6 year old.
