The same week Pretti was killed, a photo went viral of a five-year-old boy who was detained by ICE after coming home from preschool. In the photo, Liam Ramos is wearing a blue knit bunny hat, and staring - terrified - into the idling Suburban that has come to abduct him. Children have often removed the scales from comfortable people’s eyes, from Phan Thị Kim Phúc - who was photographed naked at age nine, sobbing and running from a napalm attack in Vietnam as her body burned - to the drowned toddler Alan Kurdi, who died in 2015 after fleeing civil war in Syria with his family for Europe as the doors for refugees were slamming shut. The suffering of children forces comfortable people to contend with the fact that the moral architecture they have been allowed to assume is real in fact is not. They themselves must become moral architecture. And this is a far more difficult ask than that they merely continue to be sorry.
