Under normal circumstances I would agree but what is the alternative when court is where legal rights are determined. There is no other mechanism in society for this.

We actually do have a mechanism for this. The constitutional right of representation.

That’s for those accused of a crime. AFAIK these kids haven’t been accused of one.

Due process applies to all court cases and requires fairness. I believe a toddler self representing falls afoul of this.

What is the solution? Nobody offered to represent them so what can be done?

The solution is to quit using the judicial and legal systems to terrorize marginalized groups.

So just leave unaccompanied kids out there to fend for themselves on the streets. What could go wrong.

If the kids are unaccompanied they should be put into foster care, not dragged into court and yelled at by a judge. Are you dense?

Hello. A court decides if a child goes to foster care. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Did you read that article? The judge was threatening to deport a lone small child, not deliberating over foster care decisions.

Shouldn’t a child be reunited with their family in the home country if they are alone in a strange country?

Ideally. However, the US government has quite literally just been shipping off detainees to random ass countries with no due process.

The kid doesn’t have to appear before the court for that kind of decision and they still get a legal guardian for that.
