Slightly slanted news??

My sympathy was stirred today when I heard another news story about a father seeking sanctuary who was separated from his son and daughter (ages 8 and 11) at our southern boarder.  As of today, he hadn't seen his children for several months and we were treated to a sweet 'reunion at the airport' scene.  All of this was fine and I'm happy they are back together but I felt my sympathy ebb a little when I learned the following fact.  The reporter didn't elaborate on it, but in one short sentence he casually mentioned that all this time, while the children were separated from their daddy, they were living with their mother in Seattle.  Now I don't know the mother, maybe she's terrible, but I doubt it.  I suspect the kids were ok during this forced separation.
