I suspect that the answer to that question is "No".

From the same state government warning migrants that they will be raped? I’m guessing SA is seen as more of a deterrent rather than a crime against humanity.

Sexual violence as a weapon. Now where have I heard that before?
"lol" said the Republicunt Texas Legislature, "LMAO"
No.
No US based govt at any level gives fuck #1 about kids. They fucking em and shooting them everywhere. All the time.
Texas: "We have to protect the kids by banning porn and sex ed!"
Also Texas:
Oh yeah, Texas gives a rat's ass about kids.
The writers of the report will probably, absolutely coincidentally of course, be found to have violated some law which requires their punishment to the fullest extent of the law.
The Texas juvenile system has been a goddamn horror show for decades. It never gets fixed. Politicians don't want to come out on soft on crime. Local communities don't want to risk closing potential economic benefits like detention centers. More importantly most people are inherently evil and find pleasure at the idea of people being tormented.
Traumatized people are compliant. Traumatized with a rap sheet will work 3 minimum wage jobs while sleeping rough.
Will investigate it's self and find no wrong doing
Yes. To protect the Juvenile Justice Department from the "woke mob" who wants to see people, especially juveniles, treated and rehabilitated.
You must understand that providing these kids basic human rights and giving them a chance to change for the better will only leave less slaves for the ultra rich, and we cannot have that!
No
Act? No. But a lot of legislators are going to stop by undocumented to see if it's true.
Actually protecting kids? Lol
I was sent to a military academy as a teen because I was getting into a lot of trouble. The "troubled teen" industry is exactly as bad as reporting over the last handful of years suggests. Violence was common. I don't know of sexual abuse, but it wouldn't surprise me. I wish I'd sued the school once I turned 18 before the statute of limitations expired. Not for money but to shut it down so other kids wouldn't suffer.
The best part is how my mother always said I had to be exaggerating because I wanted to get out. It couldn't possibly be that bad, she'd say.
I had some marital conflict with my wife because she wanted to send a kid of ours to one of those hellholes. Two years later, the kid was fine, though still infrequently unruly. Six years later, he's top of his class in college and doing great. Those businesses trade on parental despair and are run by religious fanatics and sociopaths (though I repeat myself). I'm glad you didn't suffer even more harm.
Good on you for protecting your kid.

Not on my instance. They broke it some time ago.
Oh, dude, my condolences 😔
Will the state legislature act? Yeah, probably to find a way to punish those kids.
