About

The report looks at Southwest Key Programs and how they did not always follow health and safety rules for caring for unaccompanied alien children. It describes problems found during inspections, such as unsafe conditions and lack of proper care. The organization is responsible for the well-being of these children but failed to meet important standards. The report suggests improvements to ensure better safety and care in the future. These changes are needed so that all children receive proper protection while staying with Southwest Key Programs.
