The U.S. government has removed most of the children from a remote Border Patrol station in Texas following reports that more than 300 kids were detained there and caring for each other with inadequate food, water, and sanitation.
****
Attorneys who visited the station in Clint, Texas last week said older children were trying to take care of infants and toddlers, The Associated Press first reported Thursday. Some had been detained for three weeks, and 15 children were sick with the flu.
Its unclear where all the children have been moved. But Escobar said some were sent to another facility in El Paso.

Now you see them, now you dont... Is there any reason to believe conditions in the new facility/concentration camp will be any better?

(14,120 posts)2. No one seems to know where they have been moved to.
So no one can see how they are doing.

I suspect that they are being sold into slavery.

(146,338 posts)4. Probably even the government doesn't know where they went.
That seems very likely, given past performance. Some will just disappear and nobody will ever know what happened. I don't think they're keeping good records of these movements.
What's next? Child rescues, like at the dog pound?
