CNN’s Sanjay Gupta: It’s ‘Pretty Clear’ Separation Policy Is ‘Child Abuse’

‘It’s pretty clear’

EXCERPT:

HILL: "The term child abuse has been used a lot over the last few days. Is that a legal term? Is it a clinical term?"
GUPTA: "It is -- it's interesting because I heard the term as well, people are using it. I went to HHS specifically and asked them how they define it. You can look at the definition. There is a medical definition of child abuse. Anything that basically incurs some sort of emotional trauma on a child, physical trauma obviously, if that is coming from a care taker, if it is coming from someone who is a parent obviously -- those are the definitions. So clearly any emotional trauma incurred especially at this age, their definition, their own definition is that this constitutes child abuse. So it’s pretty clear."
