An independent report claims decades of physical and sexual abuse at Niños de México, leading to its closure.
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Mo. — A former employee and sexual assault survivor comes forward after a nonprofit dissolves in the wake of a bombshell report.
A GRACE report claimed children at Niños de México suffered years of abuse. Since the release of the report, the organization has shut down.
One St. Louis woman is advocating for all the survivors in this case.
Niños de México had been operating for almost 60 years until this month.
The founders are from Franklin County and created the Christian-based group in 1967 with an office in Union, Missouri. The organization would accept donations from churches in the United States.
Niños de México eventually grew to operate nine children's homes in Mexico City.
The mission for Niños de México was, "Niños exists to share the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ with as many people as possible by raising at-risk children in Mexico to love God and grow to be mature, educated Spirit-filled Christians with the ability and passion to evangelize their culture."
Within the last week, GRACE released a 256-page report detailing decades of physical and sexual abuse from 20 abusers, from the founders to leadership roles. One part of the report also outlined the death of a little boy in 1998.
