Migrant children dragged, pushed at Southwest Key shelter. (Video)

Videos from a Southwest Key shelter for migrant children show staffers dragging and pushing children, incidents that occurred shortly before the federal government suspended the shelter's operations early this fall.

The Arizona Republic obtained the videos from the Arizona Department of Health Services under state public-records law.

Southwest Key had reported the mid-September incidents, which involved three children and numerous staffers at the Youngtown shelter, to state authorities, as well as local law-enforcement and federal officials, but declined to publicly provide details at the time.

Southwest Key ultimately closed the shelter, called Hacienda Del Sol, in late October. That came in the wake of negotiations with state health authorities over potential revocation of all 13 licenses that Southwest Key holds in Arizona, because of the company's lapses in background checks for staff.

3. usually they blame the children

"well if the kids had been behaving and following orders, like they were told ---" You know how the rest of it goes. My goodness, kids separated from parents and left alone with strangers in a scary place, who knew kids would act out their anger and fear? *snark*
