In a new lawsuit, immigrant children detained at a government-funded facility in Texas described being forcibly drugged with psychotropic medicines that made them dizzy and unable to walk.
Reveal reported Wednesday that minors held at the Shiloh Treatment Center in Manvel, Texas described in its Google+ listing as a baby gulag were physically abused and given shots of powerful psychiatric medications that rendered them unable to walk, afraid of people and wanting to sleep constantly.
In the affidavits, the children and their parents said workers at the facility told them they would not be allowed to leave or see their parents if they didnt take the medicine, which was administered via shots. The children were allegedly told the shots were vitamins.
The supervisor told me I was going to get a medication injection to calm me down, one girl said. Two staff grabbed me, and the doctor gave me the injection despite my objection and left me there on the bed.
According to one mother, her child fell repeatedly, hitting her head, and ended up in a wheelchair. Another described trying to open a window and being hurled against a door by a Shiloh supervisor, who then choked her until she fainted.
One child was prescribed 10 different shots and pills including the antipsychotic drugs Latuda, Geodon and Olanzapine, the Parkinsons medication Benztropin, the seizure medications Clonazepam and Divalproex, the nerve pain medication and antidepressant Duloxetine, and the cognition enhancer Guanfacine, the report noted.
