We’ve started identifying some of the children detained in the MVM Phoenix office: Toddlers. Pre-teens. Teenagers. Boys. Girls. Some were unaccompanied. Some were taken from their parents at the border. And at least one was pregnant. She, too, was kept in that Phoenix office.

One of the children who was at the MVM Phoenix office is now officially a missing person. Staffers called police saying a child approximately 16 years old ran away. In fact, he was 17. He wasn’t alone that morning: the police report states HE WAS ONE OF 90 CHILDREN THERE.

If this child did indeed run away, what was he running from? That’s one of many questions in my mind. If you know anything about MVM’s office and/or the children who were detained there, please contact me.

At least they had a place to sleep that is air conditioned.

Not necessarily. Neighbors say workers told them the AC was being fixed; temps were consistently over 100°. I photographed one fan and several small devices; only after I posted photo did Twitter users tell me the devices were fan remotes. You don’t need fans if you have AC.

Not to argue but...I have A/C and fans in my house and at work. It's AZ, it's like Africa hot. Just saying.

Seriously kept overnight! Sick and that is a situation where they can easily be sexually assaulted or trafficked when no Oversite or policies are followed. I don't believe Anything they say even one "ran away!" Thanks for reporting on this!

Why isn't the state child welfare agency, DCS/CPS investigating all of these facilities? Protection of children is their only mission, no matter the sources of credible allegations of neglect and abuse. Is Gov political ideology more important than protection of children?

And thanks to the vigilant neighbors! I hope you'll be able to update info on the pregnant girl and the runaway. As well as the Shiloh situation . Too bad time was too short for the full report.

Do people realize a fortune in public money is being made by private companies incarcerating refugees? Enough money to fund enough hearing officers to address the situation as the law actually requires.
