Court Appearance: Immigrant Defendants and Photo I

court appearance: The family separation issue is especially urgent for the parents of young children who are more dependent on their mothers and fathers, according to Toronto Star. Studies show that major stress at a very young age can create a lifetime of emotional and physical problems.
