Given the sharp polemics over what to do with these children right now, I want instead to give some face to who they are. I have spent years of researching and writing about youth in Guatemala, and with reference to Central American youth in general, and I want to suggest how the young fit into this schema of high levels of poverty and violence that generates flight, a noun that fails to capture children’s motives and identities. - Deborah Levenson, Professor in the Boston College History Department, author of Adiós Niño: The Gangs of Guatemala City and the Politics of Death. #BCexperts
