So I was doing some research on Miramonte, and there's some other info that adds to the conversation.
Miramonte Elementary School is located in unincorporated South Los Angeles within the Florence-Firestone area. We are an urban school serving a
minority community that is predominantly Hispanic.
Miramonte’s kindergarten through 6th grade programs service 1,396 students, of which 98% are Hispanic and 2% African-American. 56% of the students
are English Language Learners and about 1% of the students are considered migrant students.
100% of our students receive free/reduced price meals under the Federal School Lunch program.

98% Mexican... only 50% of which can even speak English... and 100% are on the lunch program.
Poor, uneducated, and illegal. Sounds like the perfect mixture of characteristics for someone to prey on.
Now don't take this the wrong way. I love me some legal Mexicans. I speak Spanish along with two other languages, and I love all cultures...
But you have to admit, if they weren't illegal, they wouldn't be so afraid of going to the police when things happen outside the law.
The predators that are going after these kids have to be aware of that...
