The Department of Health and Human Services&#8217; inspector general&#8217;s office released a report on Thursday, highlighting the lack of basic safety checks,\u200c including criminal \u200bbackground checks, performed on \u2064some adults.<\/p>\n<p>During just\u200d two months, March and April of 2021, a staggering 16,790 children were placed with adults by HHS. The inspector general&#8217;s office examined the case files of 342 of these\u200b children, revealing alarming findings. In 16% of the cases, HHS failed\u200c to provide evidence of conducting essential safety\u200c checks such as background and address verification. Furthermore, \u200cover \u2063a third of the cases lacked legible documentation for the adults, raising concerns about potential forgery.<\/p>\n<p>Haley Lubeck,\u2064 an \u200banalyst for the inspector general&#8217;s office, expressed her concerns, stating,\u200b &#8220;We found that children&#8217;s case files and sponsor records were not always updated with \u2064important documentation and information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Ongoing Issues and Response from HHS<\/h3>\n<p>Disturbingly, in approximately 20% of the cases reviewed, HHS neglected to check on the well-being of the\u200b children they had placed for extended periods, sometimes lasting months. In response to the report, HHS\u2064 spokesman Jeff Nesbit claimed \u2064that most of the highlighted issues were already being \u2062addressed through training, monitoring,\u2062 technology, and evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that HHS \u200dfaced\u200c criticism \u200dlast year for prematurely releasing migrant children, leading to instances\u2064 of child labor exploitation. The New York Times conducted an investigation in\u2062 February 2023, revealing that\u200d dozens of migrant children, some as young as 12, were forced to work overnight or in\u2063 hazardous conditions for companies\u200c in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1708194883484000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2-Qkl0_rZLba0WnnGhzcWP\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>The Ongoing Crisis at the Southern Border<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to grapple with an\u2063 ongoing crisis at the southern border, as hundreds of thousands of migrants\u200b illegally cross into the country each month.
