Why don't they want the shelter assistants to hug or touch those kids?

Is this another racist fear that these immigrants are bringing in disease?

The administration doesn't view them as children. Trump has called them animals. Vinca Jun 2018 #2

Afraid of accusations of inappropriate touching/child abuse... Bullshit, though... hlthe2b Jun 2018 #3

To pedo priests, those internment camps are candy stores. There are is no parental watchdog. TheBlackAdder Jun 2018 #7

Based on how their background checks are going, most of those workers are probably pedophiles. TheBlackAdder Jun 2018 #4

IMO it's doing more harm than good. lpbk2713 Jun 2018 #5

The background checks on the guards are coming up with all kinds of red flags.

Those coming to these facilities, for counseling and comforting, might have a dark motive.

Based on our own criminal system, sexual abuse is so rampant, it is almost an institutional norm. This is even in youth detention and prison facilities, where adults as old as 25 are classified as "children" and share common areas in the facilities.

Seeing these Trump clowns in action, and relying on many private resources, I doubt it will be better.

I wonder how it would work out if they allowed a light hug in the presence
of two or three other workers. These kids are going through a lot of mental
anguish and human contact could go a long way.
