And when they are done with that shoot em full of those same experimental drugs. These monsters used and paid for the use of foster children to be used as guinea pigs in drug testing. From what I can gather from the article some of the children were presumed to have HIV. From what i can gather from the article these children who may or may not have been HIV+ were not receiving the standard meds or any kind of treatment instead they were given experimental drugs, this is not a case where they were getting an experimental drug as a last resort, thats all they were getting including the known ones who needed standard treatment. This went on until 2002 in New York City. I provided the start of the story and a link that provides you with a transcipt of an interview in which much more is revealed. I put this on here a long time ago when the story first broke and now they are finally starting an investigation. This is one of those things we all think could not happen here.

Last December, Democracy Now reported that a BBC documentary exposed how the city of New York had been forcing HIV-positive children under its supervision to be used as human guinea pigs in tests for experimental AIDS drug trials.
All of the children in the program were under the legal guidance of the city's child welfare department, the Administration for Children's Services or ACS. Most lived in foster care or independent homes run on behalf of the local authorities and almost all the children were believed to be African-American or Latino.
ACS initially dismissed the allegations as unfounded and stated that the source "appears to be a group of individuals holding the views that HIV does not cause AIDS." But just last week, ACS did an about-face and announced that they will be conducting a review of their policy that was in place the late eighties and nineties, which did force HIV positive children in foster care to submit to clinical drug trials.
