Federal agency's shelter oversight raises questions
ORR typically requires shelters to report when children are restrained or injected with emergency medication. Its policy for treatment centers, however, states that it is “not unexpected” for children with behavior problems and other disorders to act out, and therefore it is not necessary to file a report.
“That's just irresponsible,” said Michelle Brané, director of the Women's Refugee Commission's Migrant Rights and Justice program, who for more than a decade has advocated for better protections for unaccompanied children.
