When Anderson, 10, traveled a perilous 2,500 miles from Guatemala with his grandmother to reach the U.S., little did he know of the troubles that awaited them. Read the full story:
His favorite shows the shadowy image of a steam engine - a “ghost train” - that seems to come out of nowhere. It reminds him of the freight trains he clung to during his 2,500-mile trek from southern Guatemala to the United States.
Reuters is not publishing the last names of Anderson and his relatives because he is a minor. Blanca’s allegations against her husband, which Wendy said Blanca related to her at the time, could not be independently confirmed. In New York, Anderson would spend his nights in foster care and his days at a shelter run by Cayuga Centers, which operates a network of facilities that hold young unaccompanied migrants on behalf of the federal government.
Anderson threatened a boy in foster care with a butter knife, telling a social worker later that he was upset the boy had kissed him on the lips. Eight months into his detention, Anderson told counselors a boy had touched his private parts over his clothes, an allegation that was reported to New York child protective services and police, according to the case management files. Both agencies declined to comment. Wendy said police interviewed Anderson but dropped the case.
