This is unacceptable! These children were taken from their parents and now some are being abused. Is it the presidents intention to break these innocent children by not doing anything to help them? This whole situation is heartbreaking. Trump has turned his 'follwers' into bullys

HillaryClinton did pizzagate get to those children? Ask HillaryClinton .

What do you expect from this racist president? He don't care about immigrants or people of color in general!

That is totally discusting. Makes me sick just to hear this

These people should be arrested and thrown in jail and Trump should be held accountable as this is his fault!

Very troubling.......

this is dead soooooo crazy

Abused by their own people. More evidence that we need a wall

President Obama was Office, why CNN just now bring this up,why in 2014.

Impossible! There is no crisis at the border

Sorry CNN, it should read 'illegal immigrant' children.

Did they bring the young ones to POTUS to rape?

Couldn't be that what Socialism means to the West (?) . . .

This is beyond ridiculous. Why tf is this happening? Smh!

Good Ole America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

JoyTaylorTalks If you do the numbers that is 3 kids aday so go to any metro city and see how many kids go through this not to say its not a problem 1 kid is tomany but dont try to blow numners up 4500÷365÷4 = 3.2 that is not bad stats too the world we doing good simple 5th grade math

JoyTaylorTalks How many reported from us citizan kids give us all the numbers that many in texas alone

Democrats are responsible for the influx of 'caravans,' flooding into our nation. People aren't as stupid as CNN thinks, other than the few that actually still believe their FakeNews. I'd really like to know more about CNN allegedly colluding with Sanders

Oh god..

Adrenochrome and 900 000 children missing in America each year Leading by Example: The good leader should set a good example for the rest of the followers; The good doctors should taste his own medicine with his family members prior to his patients.

Please also check out the Scott Lloyd hearing today. These are crimes against humanity that should be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court--bc apparently we can't stop this on our own.

🤦🏻‍♂️😡

Can you believe the government

This is absolutely abhorrent & disgusting. HHS needs new leadership & compass. No matter the circumstances the great USA should not b separating babies & children from parents. Overhaul now! Get those kids back to their parents immediately! We r better then this but who can tell?

These illegals should stay in their own country.

Very disturbing

Where is our president in all these ? Where are the rapists from ?

Now pull out the national emergency card

Fake news!

Wow! 2014 - 2018 who are they going to blame this to or did they just balanced it? Wonder what happened the prior years.

This is disgraceful. I hope DHS is held accountable and those who committed these atrocities are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

When you have an incompetent, corrupt, morally deficient administration like this one, it's no wonder this is happening. Now what are we going to do about it?

What about the thousand of children that are our in our own system that are abused and nothing is being done? We have failed our own America children!! Why not report on things that are happening to our own people!

Ask Obama about the cases when he was President!

She me manypeople responding off the cuff without reading the article

😭 Lost Humanity 😭🌍😭

'the vast majority of allegations prove to be unfounded when they are investigated by state law enforcement and federal law enforcement and the state licensure authorities to whom we refer them'

This is heart wrenching...

Absolutely horrific, but perhaps some of the responsibility should go to those who put these children in harm's way.

I call bullshit.

JoyTaylorTalks US Govt = Vatican

So disgusting. Those poor babies

We're not for the Trump made situation this wouldn't be make a situation and call himself fixing it a distraction said the kids had to suffer for a dumb ass

BBCBreaking

What happened to oversight?

1. It started in 2014 long before trump 2. It looks like the majority were by other kids 3rd whomever did it should face the harshest punishment.

A strong wall would prevent all the bad.

If true, this is disgusting & Trump should be in prison for causing this immoral behavior, he should not have been allowed to create this mess.

How many of those under the Obama Admin.?

Clearly why you never separate the kids from their moms... sickening!

So, its possible more kids got jerked around during Obama. What were the numbers between 2008-2016?

TrumpsFault

Did someone give Joe Biden a job down there?

There’s the real crisis and no wall is going to solve that

But hey, there’s no emergency.

What did HHS do, go looking for every pedophile they could find to look after these children?

This headline needs clarity. Were they assaulted while in U.S. custody or did they report they were abused once in U.S. custody? Were they abused by others also in custody or by U.S. staff or both? Typical crappy headline by CNN.

America no longer cares about children because children don't vote and don't have money to line the pockets of corrupt politicians.

Despicable. And of course, no one will be held accountable for harming all these children. Yet, a Black man selling loose cigarettes get murdered by police in broad daylight.

“the number of children under age 18 apprehended crossing the border without a parent or legal guardian was about..... in 2017 around 40,000.” Federal immigration is not day care. Build the wall.

wtf is wrong with people

This abuse of Immigrant Children Happened under Trumps Watch!!

BY👏🏻OTHER👏🏻MIGRANTS👏🏻! More reason to not let those people in!

Isn't it odd that there is rigorous screening and vetting of immigrants who apply for asylum, but apparently no equivalent for applicants for positions in ICE and CBP? Or do thugs get preferments in ICE?

Thanks BarackObama.

Wish that came as a surprise

Number 1-if that's true they should go to prison twice as long as normal; Number 2-we need to send these kids back to their parents; Number 3-we need protection at the border to stop illegals coming into our country where this might even happen-blame you democrats!!!

Atheist Abortion Death Party Dems dncpress DNCWomen (2 racists and the rapist) 3 Dems in virginiadems VAHouseDems vahousegop The New DNC Party made it very clear during the SOTU that they are now the Party of Socialism, Open Borders, and Late Term Abortions

Sure sounds like a national emergency...Stop the insanity...BuildTheWall

Stop the insanity...BuildTheWall

This is a disgusting story and I wish it wasn’t true

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?

That is such bullshit!!!!

I want immediate castration for all those caught and convicted of these crimes.

Heartbreaking💔💔

Maybe we need non-US, NATO peacekeepers to come in and take over the internment camps. Our government obviously can’t do the job of treating people with dignity or respect and provide basic safety of their human rights. Who’s profiting off of all these camps? Follow the money.

How many were reported to have occurred BEFORE the came under US custody ?

Get the illegals the hell out of our country

DHS Human Trafficking record shames all of US

Sickening.

Essentially Obama years!

Maybe this should be on billboards along the migration route as a warning to parents sending or traveling with children. It started in 2014, before the Trump era too!!

realDonaldTrump GOP 4500 SEXUAL ATTACKS AGAINST CHILDREN IN US CUSTODY AT BORDERLOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. FIX IMMIGRATION. A WALL WILL NOT DO THAT. MORE JUDGES. MORE TRANSPARENCY. MORE INFRASTRUCTURE. WHERE IS YOUR HUMANITY.

The world is taking about sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church this is even worse. US can't even provide protection to children in it's own custody and talks about saving the world.

It is sad... but the solution is to give them back to their parents and send them back home! Simple as that.

to respect is to accept inside the body like natural selection

Allowing too many priests in to see them I would guess.

i feel offended, in the pay lane at the grocery store there is the constant publication of a dead person previously recognized as Frances spencer. i wasnt born in a barn. i dont give a cow a blow job and believe that is a spiritual disrespect. i dont gravitate respect for that.

Stop holding them,, send them back with their relatives, if they exist. Prosecute the abusers

Then stop bringing them please.

this is avoidable (any good parent would not bring a child to a country illegally,this is why they are separated). 3000 sex crimes YEARLY against US citizens by illegal immigrants a year could be avoided if our borders were truly protected!

OMG! These poor people are locked up with no idea when or if they will ever be released. And the scum controlling the prison are abusing them!

Where is the outrage!!! We are all created equal. Why is this terrible for someone to commit this terrible things to our children and just a running commentary or byline for others different than us? We must protect everyone not just our own.

This is part of the reason we need the wall. Thank you for bringing this to light!

Parents or person bringing them should b charged with child endangerment n booted back to their own country

I really hope the pizza-gaters can lend a gun to solve this problem.

What is the solution to this? What are the best ideas on the table?

Contact the representative of your state and get a bill started to abolish ICE permanently.

And pro lifers are worried about the life of children...ya right

Can't expect anything more from a situation where children are not accounted for. SMH!

This breaks my heart. These pedophiles deserve to be locked up!

Why didn’t this report go back to 2008?

If true? Another reason NOT to make this illegal journey especially with children

🤮

by other immigrants.

Adding to my short position on US Morality.

Omg nooo we are so sad for the immigrant children 😈😈😈😈😈😈👿👿👿

SHAMEFUL!! IMMORTAL!! CONTEMPTUOUS!!

Just send them ALL BACK HOME

This is sick and our border system needs cleansing and overhaul from top to bottom. Why are people so awful to innocents and in positions of power? I'm done w/ CBP, ICE, DHS, HHS, the lot of them. Disgusting.

We all know Obama did nothing about it

Only 4500 plus so what🤷‍♂️

Illegal aliens immigrants knowingly entering USA is a crime so what happens to illegal aliens criminals criminals in custody should be the least of u.s. problems

Sounds like an EMERGENCY, just as Trump declared.

Are the facilities that are the subject of the report located predominately in the South, West, etc. ? Seems like that might be important to identify....

Who was President in 2014? Oh it was Obama. Way to go Obama

So CNN and the left care about kids now but love to dance and cheer on the bills states like NY signed on abortions? GTFO.

Oh my God, despicable. There's got to be a better way.

How bout reporting on this , since you care so much about kids

This govt has a lot to answer for.

What kind of immoral monster would authorize this type of treatment against innocent children?

Every individual involved in any way needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

ICE= American Gestapo

😱 this is pathetic

realDonaldTrump but it's not a national emergency

Why let new kids at the border be admitted into a sexual hell hole?

People who sexually abuse children should face capital punishment AND THAT INCLUDES FUCKING CATHOLIC PRIESTS NO MATTER WHAT RANK THEY ARE

That's unacceptable, we need to get to the bottom of this. DISGRACEFUL!!!

Calling all 'All Lives Matter' people

I guess it can’t be blamed on Trump administration ... sad if true.

BreakandEnterTV THIS IS BEYOND FUCKED UP

the case for child separation

🤬😡🤯😠

They must be related to the Catholic Church.

now do enroute to the border

Oh no

That is sad praying for them

BenSasse what say you about this information? Will you be running an emergency bill to protect these children?

And who was President then?

This is horrible! 😡

That’s 3 full years of Obama people!!! This is for the people that are going to bash Trump. Just remember that.

realDonaldTrump

Where’s the outrage in the news reports with these allegations?

Not Surprised just pray for more of God to shine on us

Fox News hacked CNN

Cc: Christian Trump Supporters

Thankfully allegations always lower than actual

This is horrific

But the priests!
