If you thought cages were bad, I hate to break it to you: It gets much, much worse. Drunk employees. Sexual assault. The forced administration of heavy psychotropic drugs that leave children "hypnotized." Our new investigation:https://www.revealnews.org/article/migrant-children-sent-to-shelters-with-histories-of-abuse-allegations/ …

I obtained text messages where this child’s mom, Maribel Bernardez, was given instructions by her son’s case worker at Shiloh to wire money across state lines to buy her son things from outside. There’s no government oversight of this. But I obtained the Western Union receipts.pic.twitter.com/5XONySnh1f

Maribel was sometimes able to see her son by video. He was "hypnotized and lethargic,” she told me. She demanded to see what he was on. Someone from Shiloh sent a photo from a computer. When he came home, she put his drugs away. They're in an overflowing giant freezer bag.

Maribel NEVER authorized Shiloh to medicate her child. What’s more, she begged them to stop. This is the affidavit Shiloh staffers sign as if they are the “Parent, Guardian, or Conservator.” Actual parents like Maribel never even see this form. “What’s this? she asked me.pic.twitter.com/98DLgDTNg5

The first time I spoke with Maribel's son, I asked him to tell me about a day at Shiloh. He left in April and he remembers quite a bit. Like brushing his teeth. Getting dressed. GETTING PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED BY A STAFFER. He mentioned it casually and says it happened all the time.

A lot of people are asking me where girls are kept by ORR. They’re kept in a lot of places. One of those places is the Shiloh Treatment Center. Records I’ve obtained indicate there were several girls there in the past year, and it’s likely they’re still there now.

We need to quit handing over our tax dollars to support this. W4's can be changed at any time. We could immediately drastically reduce what they take from our checks. We've just got to pull together.

Yes, this began under the last admin. This person says child came g ere alone, his mother was already here, so she is responsible for the separation and his predicament. Sling the Hate if you want, but Facts are Facts and she posted them. congress should have fixed it yrs ago.
