But this IS a country where far too many people think torturing children is the best response to people wanting a better life.
All that other stuff aside, how is the US torturing children exactly?
Due to the current state of US foster care system and the unvetted people running it who are in control of the treatment of these children, children are currently being rampantly neglected, sexually and physically abused in this system in addition to being sent off to human traffickers to never be seen again. Trump's administration lost track of thousands of children they placed into the system and have yet to locate them at all.

This is a most serious and urgent issue because of the state of the US foster care system and it's human trafficking of immigrant children:

This has been made much worse due to Trump's policies dumping many more children on the system than usual in addition to his preference for using the unvetted religious organizations who were responsible for the sexual abuse and trafficking in the first place:

Hell Trump's administration has already admitted thousands of families may have been separated than they estimated and they have been breaking the law by separating thousands more after the courts ordered them to stop:

That is why abuse and neglect of these children while in US care is pretty much out of control at this point:
