A place that's supposed to be a safe haven for young people in the Alameda County foster care system is being criticized by Hayward's mayor as a dangerous environment where children are vulnerable to sex trafficking and drugs.
Hayward Mayor Mark Salinas says he has been trying for months to get Alameda County to help fix what he describes as very serious issues at the county's assessment center for foster youth.
The center is supposed to act as a sort of safe house for children but in recent months, the mayor claims it has become a hotbed for serious criminal activity including sex trafficking. "You know people who are pimps and drug dealers, who are recruiting for gangs, know exactly where to find these youth who are vulnerable and who are desperate for somewhere to belong," explained Edwards.
That's why the mayor says he had no choice but to file a lawsuit against the county, accusing them of failing to perform their mandatory duties.
