"Now let's focus on the children, the innocent participants in this difficult situation. Imagine being a child whose mother is incarcerated. One day she's there, the next she's gone, often with little explanation that makes sense to a young mind. Children frequently internalize shame and blame themselves. They may be told to keep their mother's whereabouts and secret, creating additional burdens of isolation. These children live with questions that no child should have to ask. Does my mom still love me?"
