El Salvador: 3 kids separated in US were abused at shelters

By MARCOS ALEMAN

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — Three minors from El Salvador separated from their parents after crossing the U.S. border were sexually abused in shelters in Arizona, Salvadoran officials said Thursday.

Liduvina Magarin, deputy foreign relations minister for Salvadorans overseas, said authorities had received reports of the abuse of the children ages 12 to 17 by workers at unnamed shelters.

“They are sexual violations, sexual abuses, that is what this is about,” Magarin told journalists.

She added that the Salvadoran government is making lawyers available to the families, and it will be up to them to decide how to proceed.

that we know of. I am sure that a majority of them, especially those whose parents "cannot be found" will end up in the human trafficking world as victims.

To be frank about it, I think that what some of this is about is supplying the child sex trafficking racket with fresh victims, where else can you get a bunch of young sex slaves in the US? I suspect that the whole fear of being caught by not only the cheatolini but many in Congress who are enabling him, like Lindsey Graham, maybe there is proof he like little kids. I mean, remember how many actual times that Congresscritters where caught with underaged pages? I think there's a racket and this is what they are really hiding from when the allow the idiot in chief to get away with what he is doing.

This is a racket and I think they are going down en masse in a RICO lawsuit. They will be going down, I hope before the elections!

Trump's family separation policy will do the same child trafficking.

If they could find just ONE instance of actual trafficking of separated kids, I'd want to see a count of that in Trump's impeachment.
