President Donald Trumps zero tolerance policy is creating a zombie army of children forcibly injected with medications that make them dizzy, listless, obese and even incapacitated, according to legal filings that show immigrant children in U.S. custody subdued with powerful psychiatric drugs.

Children held at Shiloh Treatment Center, a government contractor south of Houston that houses immigrant minors, described being held down and injected, according to the federal court filings. The lawsuit alleges that children were told they would not be released or see their parents unless they took medication and that they only were receiving vitamins.

Parents and the children themselves told attorneys the drugs rendered them unable to walk, afraid of people and wanting to sleep constantly, according to affidavits filed April 23 in U.S. District Court in California.

One mother said her child fell repeatedly, hitting her head, and ended up in a wheelchair. A child described trying to open a window and being hurled against a door by a Shiloh supervisor, who then choked her until she fainted.

The supervisor told me I was going to get a medication injection to calm me down, the girl said. Two staff grabbed me, and the doctor gave me the injection despite my objection and left me there on the bed.

Another child recounted being made to take pills in the morning, at noon and night. The child said the staff told me that some of the pills are vitamins because they think I need to gain weight. The vitamins changed about two times, and each time I feel different.

Shiloh is among 71 companies that receive funds from the federal government to house and supervise immigrant children deemed unaccompanied minors.

An investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting found that nearly half of the $3.4 billion paid to those companies in the last four years went to homes with serious allegations of mistreating children. In nearly all cases reviewed by Reveal, the federal government continued contracts with the companies after serious allegations were raised.

At Reveals request, forensic psychiatrist Mark. J. Mills assessed materials from 420 pages of childrens medical records and statements filed in California federal court this April.

You dont have to be a rocket scientist here; it looks like theyre trying to control agitation and aggressive behavior with antipsychotic drugs, said Mills, who practices in the Washington, D.C., area and was an expert witness for a lawsuit that in 2008 stopped the federal government from forcibly administering antipsychotic drugs to deportees.

You dont need to administer these kinds of drugs unless someone is plucking out their eyeball or some such. The facility should not use these drugs to control behavior. Thats not what antipsychotics should be used for. Thats like the old Soviet Union used to do.

The records were filed in connection with an ongoing class-action status lawsuit alleging poor treatment of immigrant children in U.S. custody. An attorney representing the children said youth separated from their parents often become depressed, angry, anxious and, sometimes, unruly and that, in turn, encourages prescription of inappropriate medication.
...
Shiloh already had a reputation for mistreating children. In December 2014, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, called for Shiloh to be shut down, citing reports from the Houston Chronicle of physical violence, unreasonable and excessive use of physical restraints, administering emergency medications without notice to governmental authorities, and several deaths of minor children while in custody, she said in a statement.

Where's the evidence that this has anything to do with disease control rather than behavior control? This is nothing more than fear mongering and a use of the "diseased foreigner" stereotype.

It isn't a stereotype when they have diseases. Clearly not everyone is like that, but a lot of people have serious health issues who cross the border.

It's not fake news, it's just old news. There's been a serious movement to shut this place down since 2014.

My only request is that we focus this outrage on the whole of youth treatment facilities. It is a huge problem, and I personally know it has been going on since 2007, but let's be honest. It's probably always been a problem.

I actually think Vaccines are one of the few things Big Government SHOULD impose.

I don't think Anti-Vaxers realize that by refusing to get vaccinated they are putting everyone else in danger... It's not a personal choice thing like say whether or not you get a tattoo

@27_Sandman_40 , are these still "summer camps"? Do you still think we should shrug it off and laugh at it because "this is nothing compared to what your ancestors went through"?

I'm not an anti vaxxer. I just realize that it's insane to want to give even more power to the government that is already forcing drugs into little children for no reason.

There is literally now evidence of them doing this, and your response to that is to give them even more power in this regard?

It's possibly to believe the following two things simultaneously:

-vaccines are good and it's stupid to not get your kids vaccinated
-it's not necessarily a good idea to let the government force it on you

I feel like 95% of the criticism FLUFFYGERM gets is because he's one of the few people here who's actually capable of nuanced thoughts.

the court filings accuses Shiloh of using drugs like Seroquel and Haldol as chemical restraints. that's a very serious accusation

it's also worth noting that Shiloh RTC is a private contractor, so the problem comes from lack of oversight on the government's part rather than any sinister national plot to turn detainees into chem-addled ghouls

(I wish the same could be said of Gitmo though, since that was 100% military)
