3-year-old immigrant suffered alleged sexual abuse during months in federal custody, family says
"The girl said she was sexually abused by an older child staying with her in foster care in Harlingen, Texas. A caregiver noticed the child's underwear was on backward, according to the lawsuit."
"Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement officials told the father that there had been an 'accident' and his daughter would be examined, he told the AP in an interview."
A father waited five months for his 3-year-old daughter’s release from federal custody after she crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. He learned of her alleged sexual abuse in foster care only after seeking legal help. The girl was placed in a foster home after being separated from her mother, and her father faced delays in the reunification process. Court documents revealed that she reported being abused by an older child, leading to serious concerns about her safety in custody.
