Meet the Latino children ripped from their parent's arms at the U.S. border.

You'll discover raw accounts of their struggle to survive alone in systems never designed to raise them. Do No Harm is the gripping insider account of a humanitarian crisis that enables abuse, sex trafficking, drug use, teen pregnancy, and death. This is a riveting book that empowers you to become an agent of change.

Inside you'll explore:
  • The horrifying pipeline between federal immigration and local foster care
  • Barriers to reconnecting children with their families
  • Dramatic ways reuniting families improves lives and communities
If you want to create a safe and supportive community for kids to thrive, this book is for you.

"Separating these families was implemented without any effective system or procedure for tracking the children after they were separated from their parents... migrant children are not accounted for with the same efficiency and accuracy as property." - Chief U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw

"The beginning can never be changed, but there is ALWAYS a solution to modify the ending. Richard has given us that solution. Thank you!"
- Paige McPherson, 3x U.S. Olympian and 2012 Bronze Olympic medalist in TaeKwonDo

"An important book for anyone who wants to help children in crisis."
- Dr. John DeGarmo, Founder of the Foster Care Institute

Combine the investigative expertise of Sherlock Holmes, decades of experience working with Latin American businesses and agencies, and a focus on reuniting children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border from their families and you get "Border Angel" Richard Villasana, an international expert on immigration issues, U.S. foster care and founder of Forever Homes for Foster Kids.

Review

This book is a must-read about the importance of understanding the foster care system and how implementing a solution to correct and protect the harsh realities of these children can truly be rewarding. Being a child that was saved and given the option of adoption has been a blessing which gave fruit to an Olympic birth. All of my accomplishments I dedicate to God and my adopted parents who gave me the care and love a child only needs to have the courage to fight for their dreams that would have never been possible before. I was always taught that the family dynamic is not about blood relations but dedication to those in need, and people who are willing to understand that the beginning can never be changed, but there is ALWAYS a solution to modify the ending. Therefore, we as a society need to be more involved in changing the narrative for these children, and Richard has given us that solution. Thank you!

There are few people in this country more dedicated to finding family members in Latin America for kids who find themselves lost or alone at our border more than Richard Villasana. Do No Harm is sure to be a mainstay for those involved in the field. He lends his experience and knowledge of the subject garnered by his countless amount of time on the front line. This book will benefit generations of people working toward solutions.

-Chris Chmielewski

Editor, Foster Focus Magazine


With the rise of domestic violence and child abuse in our nation, Do No Harm by Richard Villasana is an important book for anyone who wants to help children in crisis. Villasana shines the light of awareness on an issue that society needs to confront. I am grateful for this book and recommend it to all who wish to make a difference in our world.

-Dr. John DeGarmo

I cannot imagine a more passionate advocate for children in foster care than Richard and, in turn, anyone more qualified to write this book. Do No Harm: The U.S. Border Child Tragedy Continues is a testament to Richard's depth of knowledge and understanding about the failures of the foster care system earned through his "boots on the ground" work within the field both internationally and domestically. A must-read for anyone working in the field.

-Julie Edwards

There is what people want us to believe and what is really happening. This is a must-read book for anyone concerned about our children and what is being done to help them. Thank you, Richard, for this wonderful insight and for the many of countless hours you put into getting familiar reunited with their children.

An American Tragedy indeed. The impact of the injustice and pain experienced by these children and their families is heart-wrenching. Children are the future, and this tragedy will have an impact long after most of us are gone from this earth. Richard Villasana is a maverick leader whose sole mission comes from the depth of his soul. As he so eloquently shares, we are an intelligent society of human beings. We can unite to solve this issue. There is no keener revelation of a society's health and wealth than how it treats its children.

A great resource to learn about the foster care system and stories from the border. It is encouraging to see how Family Finding works, and the collective efforts of so many people doing the right thing every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory Reading for all Policy Makers
Reviewed in Australia on 7 September 2023

This is not an easy read however one that I suggest should be mandatory reading for all policy makers. A big picture idea to fix a headline problem when not chunked down to what it means for the child on the streets can have devastating and long term affects. Thank you, Richard, for bringing to light the implications for a culture not understood adequately when this policy was rubberstamped.

"Do No Harm" is a poignant and eye-opening account of the profound issues plaguing the U.S. foster care system, particularly the challenges faced by immigrant children and parents separated during the "ZERO TOLERANCE" policy. Richard Villasana's journey from an international marketer to a family finder is both inspiring and informative, shedding light on the critical importance of reuniting children with their kin. This book not only exposes the grim realities but also offers hope and concrete solutions to improve the foster care system, making it a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this pressing societal issue and a call to action for a brighter future for foster children.

A well-written, highly informative book that looks at the problems STILL facing children separated from parents at the U.S. border. Comprehensive, compassionate, and written with an underlying anger that these problems still exist. Plus a clear-eyed look at the problems in the foster care system. An outstanding reference for those who genuinely care about children and their welfare.
