(Reuters) - Federal and local officials are scrambling to locate close to a dozen unaccompanied migrant children, after Houston police raised concerns about a trend of migrant children reported missing in the Texas city, according to U.S. government officials and related emails reviewed by Reuters.

The cases underscore the challenges for U.S. President Joe Biden's administration as it faces a record number of unaccompanied kids arriving at the southwest border it must safely and quickly release to sponsors in the United States.

Earlier this summer, a Houston police detective alerted the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after discovering what looked like a pattern of migrant kids missing from the homes of their U.S. sponsors, according to an HHS official, who declined to be identified.

The agency found that since late last year, 57 unaccompanied migrant kids had been reported missing in Houston, the HHS official, and two additional sources familiar with the situation, said. Included in the count were nine kids who ran away from HHS shelters in the Houston area, the official said.

As of Aug. 26, 46 of them had been confirmed safe, the official said. So far authorities say they have found no evidence of sex or labor trafficking.

Some of the missing kids who have been located are now 18 or older. A handful left the homes of relatives acting as sponsors to join parents who were in the United States, the official said, adding that the number of cases being reviewed is small compared to the volume of overall releases to the area.

Just as the word “groomer” was used, this ought out be referred to as “child trafficking.”

Betting some of these “children” were actually a lot older than they stated. Probably most in gangs now.

Illegal alien minors missing in Houston? Check Chicago, New York City, or Washington DC. That’s where all the cool illegal aliens are locusting these days.

You got that right!! In our school many of the hispanic "children" had full facial hair, tattoos, criminal records and kids of their own.

For 140 plus years this has been happening, sometimes with adults coming along with kids.

Our governing elites support, ignore and profit from it.

Any American who cares about all kids, our culture just must loudly speak out against this offense against human decency. There are better ways to help , while at the same time preserving bio families intact in their own cultures.

Don’t worry about them; they are safely locked away in some PEDO/PERVERTS basement being told to “PUT ON THE LOTION”.

This is what PEDOPHILE BIDEN has in store for all those illegal alien children.

Thanks Joe, YOU F#CKING PERVERT!
