In August, Blanca was deported to Guatemala.
After Blanca said they feared returning to Guatemala - the first step toward an asylum claim - authorities sent them to separate detention facilities, Anderson´s in New York and Blanca´s in California. The character was first introduced in April as someone living in foster care and now her story line has expanded to explain why she was placed in a new home.
Sesame Street has introduced the subject matter of addiction, using a bright green puppet named Karli to let young viewers know grown-up problems aren't their fault. As reported by Vice, the user who purports to be living in Germany said his software has 'successfully identified more than 100,000 young ladies' which he then used to create a searchable database.
In New York, Anderson would spend his nights in foster care and his days at a shelter run by Cayuga Centers, which operates a network of facilities that hold young unaccompanied migrants on behalf of the federal government. Anderson threatened a boy in foster care with a butter knife, telling a social worker later that he was upset the boy had kissed him on the lips.
Viewers hear the newest character's backstory before she joined foster parents Clem and Dalia.
