Mr. Sanchez and his staff have done an excellent job in providing the youth with English language and other educational programs. proper counseling. and a full range of recreational and athletic activities. Presently. there are approximately 265 unaccompanied Cuban minors within the Fort McCoy compound. of which approximately 125 are segregated from the other refugees. I was told the reason for doing this is to prevent certain elements of the adult population from exploiting the juvenile population. such as the incidents of homosexual and heterosexual harassment of the youth which have been reported. In one instance. a sexually abused youth was smuggled out of the compound by camp officials and taken to a local judge so that he could be declared a ward of the State and thus not be forced to return to the camp. 0- 1950
