That's terrible. Those poor kids
Here you go Crim, just read these:
Five young foreign exchange students found themselves caught in a nightmare of neglect, malnourishment and abandonment by those supposed to protect them.
Some students were so malnourished that one was treated in a hospital for dehydration while another passed out during track at school.
"They weren't provided with food," Jarbola said. "In fact there is one incident with tape on food items in the refrigerator of the host family that says, 'Do not touch. This is for the host family only.' So basically they were neglected."
Villarreal said he lived with a family that housed ex-convicts and that he had very little to eat.
"I lost a lot of body weight, and [it was] an unsafe environment which I felt uncomfortable living in, and it was nothing like I had envisioned my experience in America," he said.
Anne sent an e-mail in October explaining how bad things were and including photographs of the inside of the home where she was placed. The home was later condemned by the city.
When welfare officials interviewed the students, one was so hungry he wept when they gave him pizza during questioning.
Meanwhile, Tanzanian student Musa Mpulki told CNN he did not want to upset his mother, so he never told her that he had little to eat during his nine-month stay in the home of a 72-year-old man who had signs on his refrigerator that some food was only for family.
Although his housing situation was a nightmare, Mpulki said the students at the school made him appreciate America.
"I guess I like to say, 'Thank you very much the government of the United States for to bring me here to get a good experience at the school and a good education.'"
