If a parent in America is arrested, the child is turned over to the other parent.
If the other parent is not present in the child's life, a reliable grandparent can take temporary custody.
If a grandparent is unavailable, another family member like an adult sibling or close aunt/uncle is suitable pending resolution of the case.
If no kinship placement is available, a social worker is assigned while a foster home is located...ideally near the child's school district so their routine is not disrupted.
It's much different than what's going on at the border. Kids are being warehoused at the border in pseudo internment camps. In the states, every effort is made to keep children out of the system.
I agree with you except that you spelled cages wrong.
