The Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students (CSFES) is a non-profit organization which Danielle Grijalva started in the United States of America in 2004.〔(Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students )〕 == Origins == Grijalva had worked as an area representative for CCI (Center for Cultural Interchange),〔(ABC10news, 2008 Jul 03, Leadership Award Winner Danielle Grijalva )〕 a foreign-exchange program for students that is based in Illinois. As an area representative she had the task of ensuring the safe placement of exchange students travelling to the United States. As she gained experience as a representative, Ms. Grijalva learned that not all exchange students were placed with safe host-families. In 2004 Danielle Grijalva resigned from CCI in protest when she found that another coordinator in the same agency had knowingly placed two boys from non-English speaking backgrounds in the home of a pederast who immediately began to groom them with gay pornography (which constitutes a crime in California), to provide them alcohol (which is against the law) and to deprive them of bathroom privacy. This was the eighth time that this man had been allowed to host boys. Grijalva was appalled when she found that her agency was totally disinterested in what had happened to the boys, but threatened her with a lawsuit if she continued her concerns. The agency then concocted the allegations that the boys were expelled from high school for downloading pornography from their host father's computer. The school principal contacted the Police Department and local Child Protective Services. Police, not the agency, removed the boys from the home. Their report claimed that when the officer went to the door, the man who answered stood there with his pants around his legs. When she expressed concerns about future students being placed in this man's home, the manager allegedly said, "Now, Danielle, we cannot discriminate against homosexuality. Back off!" The president of the agency interfered with law enforcement stating that the boys concocted the allegations because they were accustomed to having a swimming pool in their back yard and wanted to be placed in a house that had one. The manager refused to change the placement and, hearing their allegations, notified police that the boys had attempted to steal from their host when they were caught looking for their passports and return tickets to go home. They, in common with most others in this situation, were instructed to sign a statement that the breakdown of the placement was due entirely to their own bad behaviour and they were told that they would be denied future access to the US if they refused to sign. This is sheer bullying because agencies do not have the power to prevent return visits.〔(§ Sec. 62. 25 Secondary school students )〕 However the boys did not know that they were being blackmailed and they signed. This of course prevents them from suing their abusers and the agencies. When in Grijalva wrote to inform the German agencies responsible for sending the boys to the US, she received an aggressive response. When she persisted and wrote again, she received a one-sentence reply: "When we told you we didn't wish to hear from you we meant it." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
