Services Department: Follow-Up Hearing and Agency Official

services department: Federal officials came under fire two years ago after rolling back child protection policies meant for minors fleeing violence in Central America, according to The Chronicle Herald. In a follow-up hearing on Thursday, senators said that the agencies had failed to take full responsibility for their care and had delayed crucial reforms needed to keep them from falling into the hands of human traffickers. The Health and Human Services Department has a limited budget to track the welfare of vulnerable unaccompanied minors, and realized that 1,475 children could not be found after making follow-up calls to check on their safety, an agency official said.
