The migrant teens who wandered away from the KBH facility have been returned according to a WFAA 8 article from March 28th. In it they say:
“Five children housed at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas left the facility Saturday.
Dallas police say they found them at a nearby 7-Eleven store around 2:30 p.m. and returned them to the facility.
‘On rare occasions, kids leave the shelters without permission,’ a US Health and Human Services spokesperson said in an email. ‘On each occasion, authorities are notified, kids are found and returned, and, usually, transferred to another facility.’ ”
There seems to be some confusion as to the exact number of teens who wandered off. The previous article says five, but an article from Fox 4 News dated March 30th reports that there were 4 children that wandered off. In it they say:
“Four unaccompanied migrant teens who were being housed at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center after crossing the U.S./Mexico border have been found after leaving the convention center without permission.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families confirmed the teens were found safe after being gone for ‘a few hours,’ and will now be transferred to another facility.”
Though, at the end of the day, the important part is that they were found and returned safely.
