If you thought cages were bad, I hate to break it to you: It gets much, much worse. Drunk employees. Sexual assault.

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.

this is denying them their parental rights. Every time I think we've hit the bottom...

Technically, since her son had been legally removed from her, he was a ward of the state, and the state and its agents had legal authority to act as his guardian and do what they felt was in his best interest.
