Down through the centuries, there are many parents who sent their children off unaccompanied because they feared for their lives or wanted to secure freedom for them--from people who put children on ships to America, to people who were trying to save their children's lives during World War II, to Cuba, and times in between--and now.

I don't think it's who would do this so much as why do they have to. I'm not saying we have to take them in. But I understand the anguish that would lead a parent to do this.
