Weeks after their father was deported to Honduras in March, Geyde Zapata’s three kids experienced another dramatic change in their lives: their schools in New Jersey shut down.
For 12-year-old William and 5-year-old Valerie, who both have autism, it was overwhelming to be stuck at home without their dad. William stopped showing interest in his remote classes and started getting upset with his mom, acting defensive and crying out for his father.
“My son would hug me and ask, ‘Where is my dad? Why hasn’t he come back?” Zapata, 35, said in Spanish. “It’s been extremely difficult.”
