How Could You? Hall of Shame-Joshua Saavedra
This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.
From Albuquerque, New Mexico, foster parent Joshua Saavedra, 45, “was arrested Wednesday [March 20, 2019]. ”
“The foster child of a man busted in a child sex sting will not be removed from the suspect’s home, according to the New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department.”
“CYFD decided against it after doing a wellness check and determining that Saavedra would no longer be living there.
Saavedra is currently behind bars on charges of child solicitation by electronic communication device, trafficking controlled substances and sexual exploitation of children by prostitution.
Agents with the Attorney General’s Officer arrested Saavedra after he allegedly tried to trade drugs and cash for sex with a 13-year-old girl during an undercover operation.
Saavedra has a detention hearing in District Court on Monday that will determine whether he will stay behind bars until his trial.”
