The lawyer and his family expect them to be expelled Friday and asked the US government to stop this process to conduct investigations into the child attack complaint. They said this family is threatened by assault or death if it returns to Honduras.
It is alleged that the attack occurred at the end of September, when the boy was playing with the hired guard in a private prison that had played with the child before. The boy had tried to break his hands with the guard, but he accidentally hit him in the face, angering him. Next, the guard is said to have held the child's hand firmly and did not let go.
The boy's mother asked the guard to release the child and tried to take the boy, but the guard did not release him. He finally let the boy down and threatened to punish him, if he hits him again”, it is said in complaint.
From this attack, the boy is afraid of male officials in prison, bites the nails that bleed him, doesn't want to play, clean or sleep”, the complaint goes on.
According to the American Academy of Paddys, children of immigrants should not be kept in detention centres, because conditions in these areas can hurt or traumatize them, writes the “The Guardian”.
