Largest Housing Provider for Migrant Children Accused of Allowing Pervasive Sexual Abuse

Largest Housing Provider for Migrant Children Accused of Allowing Pervasive Sexual Abuse

“In some cases, Southwest Key employees threatened children to maintain their silence”

A horrible story but sadly not surprising. These children are so vulnerable.

The Associated Press reports:

Largest housing provider for migrant children engaged in pervasive sexual abuse, US says

Employees of the largest housing provider for unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S. repeatedly sexually abused and harassed children in their care for at least eight years, the Justice Department said Thursday, alleging a shocking litany of offenses that took place as the company amassed billions of dollars in government contracts.

Southwest Key Programs Inc. employees, including supervisors, raped, touched or solicited sex and nude images of children beginning in 2015 and possibly earlier, the Justice Department said in a lawsuit filed this week. At least two employees have been indicted on criminal charges related to the allegations since 2020.

It was not immediately clear how many children are currently in Southwest Key’s vast network of shelters across three states, which have room for more than 6,300 children. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment beyond the lawsuit announcement when asked whether the department recommended that children be removed from the shelters or that the the nonprofit’s contracts be terminated.

“In some cases, Southwest Key employees threatened children to maintain their silence,” the lawsuit states. “In harassing these children, these Southwest Key employees exploited the children’s vulnerabilities, language barriers, and distance from family and loved ones.”

In a statement, Southwest Key said it was reviewing the complaint and disputed the portrayal of its care for children.

The nonprofit organization is the largest provider of housing for unaccompanied migrant children, operating under grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It has 29 child migrant shelters — 17 in Texas, 10 in Arizona and two in California. The company’s largest shelter in Brownsville, Texas, is at a converted Walmart with a capacity for 1,200.

Congratulations to Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder and Samantha Power and Susan Rice:

Your transformation of America into South Africa is complete:

— rampant child rape,
— destruction of the economy,
— rising antiJew/antiChristianity
— plummeting life expectancy,
— denigration of everything “white”
