The youths making these allegations were from previous migrations and had trouble at less restricted youth centers. They immigrated to the US alone and were not separated from their parents. These complaints are from months and years ago. Most of the youths required mental health treatment but would not be taken by treatment facilities that are less secure and could not deal with their behavioural issues. Some of them suspected MS-13 but it turned out not necessarily to be the case. I don't see how naked solitary confinement helps especially a child whose brain is still forming. Awful.

12. Trumpf must be charged with crimes against humanity, torturing of children

...this is on his watch. He will not stop the policy of separating children unless a charge against him has been placed and or impeachmemt proceedings have commenced.

As we all know, today was all about ,optics, theatre... to take the world lens off his cruelty, crimes against refugee children, families and provide him with a platform to spew his hate propaganda about immigrants and refugees; blame the democratic party for his policy, for his crimes against children. He's a liar DO NOT TRUST him! Watch what he (go p) does not what he says,

8. A link to the AP article Griffin is referring to:

https://apnews.com/afc80e51b562462c89907b49ae624e79

WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigrant children as young as 14 housed at a juvenile detention center in Virginia say they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells.

The abuse claims against the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center near Staunton, Virginia, are detailed in federal court filings that include a half-dozen sworn statements from Latino teens jailed there for months or years. Multiple detainees say the guards stripped them of their clothes and strapped them to chairs with bags placed over their heads.

“Whenever they used to restrain me and put me in the chair, they would handcuff me,” said a Honduran immigrant who was sent to the facility when he was 15 years old. “Strapped me down all the way, from your feet all the way to your chest, you couldn’t really move. ... They have total control over you. They also put a bag over your head. It has little holes; you can see through it. But you feel suffocated with the bag on.”

In addition to the children’s first-hand, translated accounts in court filings, a former child-development specialist who worked inside the facility independently told The Associated Press this week that she saw kids there with bruises and broken bones they blamed on guards. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to publicly discuss the children’s cases.

This has been going on since 2007. It's still quite bad. The article states that no one knows if any of the separated children that are currently being detained are there. Read the whole article even though it's lengthy. This place sounds like Hell.

9. Thanks.

11. You are welcome.

10. It reads like Abu Ghraib but for kids.

Immigration reform has got to be a top priority for Democrats once they are back in power.

14. They're being forcibly injected...

...with psychotropic drugs, to manage the trauma of separation from their parents.

Some youths at Shiloh reported being given up to nine different pills in the morning and six in the evening and said they were told they would remain detained if they refused drugs, the lawsuit said.

Some said they had been held down and given injections when they refused to take medication, the lawsuit said.

TYY

[TeeYiYi]

13. It's like Abu Ghraib...

...without all of the lies and secrecy. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if I've slipped into an alternate universe and landed at the front gates of hell.

15. My God, and the suit was filed in 2016 --

So these abuses happened under Obama and probably also the Bush administration given how long this place has been there. How on earth was this allowed to go on for so long with nothing done? Lord only knows how much such actions may have escalated under Trump, or how many other places this is going on.

It sounds like they took the sadists from Abu Ghraib and turned them loose on innocent children. How much more depraved can our country become?
