The “Protect Your Children” initiative is a campaign launched by World Voices Media, a California-based<\/a> non-profit organization, in collaboration with HCN Global.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main objective of this initiative is to educate and empower immigrant parents in the United States to take proactive steps in appointing temporary guardians for their children, thus preventing their children from being placed in foster care in the event that the parents are detained or deported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect your children’: Importance of temporary guardianship<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the United States, approximately 5.4 million native-born children have at least one parent with irregular immigration status.<\/span> These children are at risk of being separated from their families and placed in the foster care system if their parents are detained by immigration authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The appointment of a temporary guardian is a preventive measure that allows parents to ensure that, in the event of an emergency, their children will be under the care of a trusted person, guaranteeing their emotional and legal well-being.<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Process for appointing a temporary guardian<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The process for establishing a temporary guardianship varies by state, but generally includes the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Selection of Guardian:<\/strong> Parents should select a trusted person who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to act as temporary guardian for their children.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Legal Documentation:<\/strong> Complete a temporary guardianship form or power of attorney, specifying the powers granted to the guardian.<\/span> This document must be signed by the parents and, in some cases, by the appointed guardian.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Notarization:<\/strong> Although not always mandatory, it is recommended that the document be notarized to ensure its legal validity.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Communication:<\/strong> Inform relevant institutions, such as schools and health care providers, of the guardian’s designation.<\/span> In addition, it is advisable for children to know the designated guardian and how to contact him or her in case of an emergency.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
