"We visited the island of Lesvos in Greece, where so many refugees are
coming across, and not just from Syria. The unaccompanied children were
saddest to me. At a house in Athens, we saw an unaccompanied boy with
his 13-year-old cousin. At a reception center in Lesvos, we met a boy
with his sister; at some point, the parents had sent the kids on alone
because they were so desperate to get them out." Sen. Jeanne Shaheen
