This image,
which appeared on a “TIME” magazine cover, heartbreakingly depicts “a little girl [wailing] in uncomprehending
sadness and anxiety (Dwyer).” The “child's panic is so palpable, it's difficult
for a viewer not to feel it, too
(Dwyer).” However, the article
(https://www.npr.org/2018/06/22/622611182/crying-toddler-on-widely-shared-time-cover-was-not-separated-from-mother)
goes on to describe that in this iconic image, the mother and child were never
actually separated stating that “the little girl was not ultimately separated
from her mother, according to her father. The man, whom Reuters identified as Denis Valera, has told multiple media outlets that mother and daughter were detained together while
seeking asylum in Texas (Dwyer).” Sadly, even though the mother and daughter
weren’t separated, they were still placed in police custody.
