Not a lot scares me on the t’internet these days but when i read about this actual case of real life fuck-up-ary it actually made me shudder!
A woman travels to New York with her young kids but falls ill and is admitted to hospital with pneumonia but her kids were not allowed stay at the hospital but instead, in fine American hospitality turfed into an orphanage!
Social workers took them to a municipal orphanage in downtown Manhattan, where they were separated, strip-searched and questioned before being kept under lock and key for the next 30 hours.
The two sisters were made to shower in front of security staff and told to fill out a two-page form with questions including: “Have you ever been the victim of rape?” and “Do you have homicidal tendencies?”
One question asked “are you in a street gang?” to which Gemma replied: “I’m a member of Appledore library.”
But wait, there’s more! The mother checks herself out of the hospital to locate the daughters and tracks them down (in her hospital pyjamas no less) and leaves the country and wait for it, is currently under investigation from the American authorities for child neglect!
Since returning home, Bray has received a letter from the US Administration for Children and Families, notifying her that, because the children were admitted to the orphanage, she is now “under investigation.”
If i was arsed i would burn an American flag in their honour…
