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."

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.

Thank you for your diligence and telling this story. Hopefully this will bring down this evil regime. The children are the true victims and may never recover.

One of the dangers of privatizing government programs is the loss of transparency. Who knows what these contractors are doing in the name of profits.

Leave it to Trump. He wants the kids to help defray the cost of their incarceration. Unbelievable.

Extortion is just one of a long list of crimes they're committing. This is despicable and vile.

I might do that too if I was charged with caring for these kids. I would not use the money for my gain, just the child's.
