Our tax dollars are paying to send very little children to Shiloh, which has received more than $25 million in the past five years. This little Garifuna child, originally from Honduras, was NINE YEARS OLD when he entered. I've examined hundreds of documents related to his story.

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.

When you say "at least one child has died at Shiloh," are you referring to Stephanie Duffield, the 16 year old who died in 2001, or has there been another death?

Yes, she died at Shiloh in 2001. Three other children have died there: one when it was known as BTR in 1993, and two more at Daystar in 2002 and again in 2010.
