The Biden administration is being accused of ignoring a major crisis involving migrant children who came to the U.S. without parents. According to reports, over 300,000 unaccompanied children have crossed the border during Biden’s time in office, and now more than 95,000 of them are missing. That means no one knows where they are or what has happened to them.
Experts like Dr. Jarrod Sadulski, who works to stop human trafficking, say the government only checked on about 100,000 of these children. Out of that number, they could only find 5,000. This has raised huge concerns about the safety of tens of thousands of kids who may now be in dangerous situations, including trafficking, abuse, or neglect.
The problem seems to be that the Biden administration trusted almost anyone who claimed to be a sponsor for a child. Many of these sponsors sent photos of IDs or addresses by text or WhatsApp, and government officials didn’t really check if those sponsors were who they said they were. In fact, it’s been discovered that 70% of the information given by sponsors was fake.
In one very disturbing case, a government worker actually went to a sponsor’s house and saw the man had MS-13 gang tattoos and was living with others who looked like gang members. The worker reported it, but higher-ups ignored the warning. The child was still sent to live there. A few months later, that same child was found dead, with his pants down and an unconscious adult man nearby. That case shows just how serious the consequences of this failure can be.
Critics are blaming the administration for not doing its job to protect these vulnerable kids. They say the government was more focused on moving the children quickly than making sure they were safe. This has led to heartbreaking results, and people are calling for answers, accountability, and major changes to how these children are handled.
People who work in child protection say the administration should have been much more careful. Simply accepting papers through messages and checking if an address existed was not enough. These kids needed real protection and proper background checks on the adults who were taking them in. Now, with so many children unaccounted for, the fear is that many of them may be suffering in silence—or worse.
The public is being urged to speak out about this issue so that it doesn’t get ignored. There’s a growing belief that the government must do more to find these missing children and stop such a tragedy from happening again.
