Why we checked itSpecific numerical claim about children being placed at a single address that was a container lot — a serious, verifiable allegation about a child welfare policy outcome.
What we foundThe core phenomenon—children sent to an address that turned out to be a container or similar non-residential location—is documented, but the figure of 200 children is not supported; the most specific public claim from RFK Jr., the primary official source, cited approximately 60 children at such an address.
