Teens restrained and drugged

If you were shocked that this could go on in 1990, who'd have thought it would still be going on in 2008?

At a privately owned but publicly funded confinement facility in Connecticut, teenagers being "treated" for alleged drug abuse or "mental illness" have been physically restrained by the guards while they are shot up with drugs.

Now state officials are asking why the department that's supposed to oversee the program hasn't been on its case. The program incidentally is run by former State Sen. William Aniskovich. I'll let you guess Aniskovich's party affiliation. (Here's a hint: He's a Republican.)

Meanwhile, the department's own psychiatric gulag for young people is under fire for dangerous restraints.

What millennium is this again?

  1. This kind of torture/abuse has been going on for decades and progressively has gotten worse.

    Usually these places don't get caught. That is the surprise, that they actually got caught for it.

    Sprechhen ze deutch?

    One more teen program to add to the list as being caught while the rest of the sick industry rolls on destroying kids minds.
