Third child dies in Texas while in US Custody while Melania plans "Be Best" event
A 16 year old boy from Guatemala has died while being detained in US Custody in Texas, the third child to die since December. He arrived at the border unaccompanied by any adults or relatives, and has been detained since April 19 ("Good Friday" for all Christians around the world), when he was sent to a government-contracted youth shelter Southwest Key Casa Padre, a former Walmart that was converted into a facility to house more than 1,000 immigrant children.
The day after his detainment, he suffered "fever, chills and a headache," according to a source at the facility. He was sent to a nearby hospital where he 'received treatment' and then sent back to the shelter.
By April 22, he was in worse condition and was sent to a children's hospital in Corpus Christi. The unidentified teen died on Tuesday.
The Department of Health and Human Services said the boy's cause of death is under review.
In related news, while this 16 year old boy was on his deathbed under US Custody, First Third Lady Melania T-rump has been planning an event to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her "Be Best" campaign, founded on her vision that every child deserves a better life.
