Kids in foster care who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured fresh abuse at a state shelter, report says KPRC2
The Child Protective Services office at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services in Austin on Nov. 14, 2019., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Seven children, ages 11 to 17, were victimized by nine alleged perpetrators, according to discussions held during an emergency court hearing called by U.S. District Judge Janis Jack on Thursday. The children remained in the facility for over a month after the abuse was first reported before they were removed.
"The reports of child sex trafficking at The Refuge in Bastrop are abhorrent," Abbott said."Child abuse of any kind won’t be tolerated in the state of Texas, and we are committed to ensuring these despicable perpetrators are brought to justice and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
DFPS did not remove all of the children until Wednesday, five weeks after the first documented report of sexual abuse. The department sent Child Protective Services staff and off-duty law enforcement to the facility to “ensure the youth’s safety” a day prior. Eight of the nine children who were in The Refuge at the time have been placed with other facilities that specialize in serving victims of commercial sex trafficking, according to the letter.
