What the hell is wrong with people? This is just screwed up it makes me sick.
__________________Child had been flown in for emergency heart surgery, official says PAGO PAGO, American Samoa - American Samoa's delegate to the U.S. Congress is calling for an investigation into the death of a baby at Honolulu International Airport. Delegate Eni Faleomavaega has asked the Department of Homeland Security to begin an investigation into death of 14-day-old Michael Tony Futi last Friday. The baby had been flown to Honolulu for emergency heart surgery. He died while detained inside a customs' room at the Honolulu airport with his mother and a nurse. A lawyer for the family announced plans to sue the federal government over the baby's death. Faleomavaega called for the probe in a letter issued to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23185937/ |

That is just heartbreaking.......
I'd like to read the whole story in order to know why they were detained - there must have been a reason. Although no reason could possibly justify this barbarism. Has anyone seen the entire story online? |

In my opinion, there's a big difference between randomly waving people into the United States without any documentation, and having a sick baby travelling with his parents and nurse being detained for lack of proper documentation. This was purely a humanitarian case and common sense and compassion should have prevailed instead of going strictly "by the book". The customs authorities could have called the family doctor or the hospital waiting to treat the baby....they had a NURSE with them for goodness sake! This was utterly deplorable and I hope they throw the book at the person responsible. |

The amount of guilt that the person who detained them must be feeling...if I were him I would be suicidal.
