Child Detention System for Immigrants Called 'Gold Mine' for Predators

  Thanks to the Deseret News for carrying an online story of an El Salvadorian official claiming that three youths from that country have been sexually assaulted while in immigration detention centers in the U.S.  Government-contracted workers allegedly violating children to me qualifies as a major story, but I didn't spot anything in the news until I came across this story.
   And, this is just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of allegations. The Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative publication ProPublica says it pulled police reports for the past five years and found police have responded to at least 125 calls reporting sex offenses at child detention centers primarily used for children who are immigrating.
  While calls also included reports of children abusing other children, and workers abusing other workers, a good many of them many them were of workers abusing the children.
   So, what of the government-contracted network of shelters for immigrant children?  "If you are a predator, it's a gold mine," Lisa Fortuna, director of child and adolescent psychiatry at Boston Medical Center told ProPublica.
  "IMHO, it is borderline criminal that even one kid is in detention, alone without their family, at this point in the controversy," writes one online commenter to the Deseret News story, identifying himself or herself as unrepentant progressive from Bozeman, Mont. "The US is engaged in an evil policy, and every criticism is warranted. And a Congressional investigation ought to be on the docket."
