President Donald Trump’s immigration policies have created conditions in which migrant children in detention are forcibly injected with medications that make them dizzy, listless, obese and even incapacitated, according to legal filings. One mother said her child fell repeatedly, hitting her head, and ended up in a wheelchair. A child described trying to open a window and being hurled against a door by a supervisor, who then choked her until she fainted. Full story:

What kind do evidence? Why should i believe you?

We reviewed hundreds of pages of court documents alleging these practices, inspection reports that confirm violations, and local news reports that detail the crimes that have occurred. In addition, I personally reviewed hundreds of pages of medical records and text messages that illustrate what was happening at Shiloh with one child who is now 10 years old. He was just nine when he went in.

So the proof that you offer is a link to your Twitter account and you wrote the article but you don't actually review how you found any of this information out except to say that you heard it through third hand accounts of other people?

You're mistaken. I've spent time with a little boy who was drugged at Shiloh for nearly six months without his consent or the consent of his mother. I looked through hundreds of pages of his medical records and text messages between his mom and workers associated with Shiloh. I have audio. I have photos. And it's all firsthand.

Were you as active and driven to cover this issue during the Obama Administration?

Assuming you have credible evidence its highly improbable that Federal healthcare workers who administer these injections [which I am 90% sure are vaccinations that every child in the US also receives] suddenly began doing so the day President Trump was inaugerated.

Yes. I investigated, wrote about, and made videos about what happened to unaccompanied minors under Obama. I even joined a group of of children I'd previously reported who went to testify in congress.

Does this sound completely and totally bogus to anyone else?

The poster uses the word "evidence" in their title to get readers to think it is true while the article linked says straight in the title "lawsuit claims". While it is true one needs evidence to bring a lawsuit to court that does not mean the evidence is solid much less true. The title here is ambiguous with the intent to inflame the pro immigrant contingent. It is blatant word play. I am all for protecting illegal boarder crossers and asylum seekers until it is proven that they are actually criminals from Mexico trying to avoid Mexican authorities. But I am also fed up with both sides of the 'Media' playing their supporters like piano keys.

I have personally reviewed firsthand evidence of the drugging of one child who was drugged without his consent and without the consent of his mother for nearly six months. I reviewed his medical documents and read countless text messages between his mother and workers associated with Shiloh. I have audio. I have photos. There gave also been *convictions* for crimes committed -- like the solicitation of child pornography.

What can the average joe to to help these kids? Is there anything to be done other than give money and protest that you know of? It doesnt ever feel like enough.

Thank you for your question. At the federal level, some people are calling their congress-members and demanding accountability from the agencies responsible for these. States are the ones that license and inspect the facilities, so some people are reaching out at the state level.
