As FRONTLINE examined in the recent documentary Trafficked in America, HHS had released several minors to the traffickers. The committee said the case was due to policies and procedures that were \u201cinadequate to protect the children in the agency\u2019s care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;] Between October 2016 and December 2017, he said, the agency was unable to locate almost 1,500 out of the 7,635 minors that it attempted to reach \u2014 or about 19 percent. Over two dozen had run away, according to Wagner, who said the agency did not have the capacity to track them down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps before we expand on tearing <i>more<\/i> minors away from their families when they enter the country illegally (and are still being processed or have applied for refugee status), we should fix the <i>current<\/i> system to not lose kids or discover that, whoops, they&#8217;ve been handed over to human traffickers.
