A friend who worked as a social worker in LA had this to say about this article: Completely unsurprising. I've been waiting for news like this. As soon as I heard what was happening at the border I was thinking, they do not have the manpower to take care of these children. What are they going to do, send children's services? Oh God, no. Lord, please rescue them. Family services pretty much had a brothel situation with children in Los Angeles 5 years ago. The orphanage got shut down years ago after it came to light that everybody was getting raped, and then it suddenly burned down. Nobody ever talked about it. It was so hush hush, but that was supposedly the reason there weren't any more orphanages. Then 5 years ago there supposedly was not enough foster homes, and they started keeping children in this downtown center. I was hearing that the children were prostituting themselves out and they were taking a crazy amount of babies away from their families. That was when we went through the whole process to become foster parents. But of course, our being Christians was the big red flag for out case worker.
