The kid is a US citizen and doesn't know any language other than English. Depending on the home country that might be a huge huge obstacle for the kid.

I was once that kid who had to go back to Iran without knowing Persian. It was fucking terrible.



Yes, moving to a country is hard when you don’t speak the language. Can I ask, why did your Iranian parents not ensure you learned Persian if moving back was a possibility?


Because it was something I resisted and made me miserable trying to learn in another country.

They did the right thing because I was able to still have a childhood that wasn't bogged down with learning Persian.
