Questions re. caregivers at the detention centers

Giving caretakers at these detention centers a benefit of a doubt, I know how challenging it is to watch over large groups in healthy kids. Are these people qualified to care for...

1.Developmently disabled children?
2.Children on the autism spectrum?
3. Kids with EDD/ADHD?
4. Children who’ve been abused on the way to the US?
5. Kids with asthma?
6. Anger issues, or PTSD from trauma experienced in their home countries?

Do you see where I’m going with this? Do any of them have specialized training?

What those kids need is a mom. Their mom. No professional anything can replace that. Even a thousand of the best trained per child
