CHILD ABUSE ALLEGED AT CENTRES

Texas, June 22: According to a first-person sworn declaration by a inhabitant at a child care centre, in a legal motion against the federal government for unlawful and inappropriate detainment of children, the child care centres were described as overloaded and secretive shelters, treatment centres and secure detention facilities for undocumented minors.

At their worst they have allegedly been home to neglect, assault and other horrific abuse.

The allegations in these documents, as well as recent facility inspection reports and other lawsuits, range from unsanitary conditions and invasive monitoring of mail and phone calls to unair-conditioned rooms in hot Texas summers and dosing children with cocktails of psychotropic drugs disguised as vitamins.

At one facility, children recounted being held down for forcible injections, which medical records show are powerful antipsychotics and sedatives. This is the system the kids separated from their parents are entering.
