Claims: Migrant children molested in U.S.-funded foster care

After local Guatemalan
officials burned down
an environmental activ- FOSTER CARE
ist's home, he decided to
leave his village behind
and flee to the United
States, hoping he'd be
granted asylum and his lit-
tle boy, whose heart was
failing, would receive life-
saving medical care.
But after crossing the bor-
der into Arizona in May
of last year, Border Pa-
trol agents tore the man's
7-year-old son from his
arms and sent the father
nearly 2,000 miles (3,220
kilometers) away to a de-
tention center in Georgia.
The boy, now 8, went into
a U.S.-funded foster home
for migrant children in New
York. The foster care pro-
grams are aimed at pro-
viding migrant children
with care while authorities
work to connect them with
parents, relatives or other
sponsors. In this Thursday, June 21, 2018 file photo, police stand outside an office for the Cayuga Centers in the the Harlem neighborhood of
