[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like the PP, I assumed the push back was because DC would not have control of how the shelter is run, the conditions, etc. and wouldn't want to welcome abuse of children into its city.[/quote]

These facilities would be regulated by DC. The hypocrisy DC is showing is absurd. The kids don’t magically disappear if DC refuses to oversee a shelter here. If DC really wants to prevent abuse they would make sure these are run like a tight ship and the children are protected. This is a NIMBY issue instead of a real concern for child welfare. [/quote]

DC would have no control over the running of the shelters. [/quote]

DC can negotiate a deal.  DC gets control of the shelter if it gets approved.

This is an awesome opportunity to show Trump how it’s done.  [/quote]

No. Sheltering refugee/migrant kids is not something that DC can just up and do. It takes skills and expertise, not to mention a lot of bilingual staff.  HHS needs to #1 commit to reducing the number of kids who need shelter by not separating them from their parents or delaying placement with a relative in the use; and #2 to using only proven operators who operate not-for-profit.  For all that Bethany Christian Services has been criticized for certain practices, from what I know they legitimately try to locate families and treat the kids well.  [/quote]
