From Reveal News: “The psychiatrist who has been prescribing powerful psychotropic medications to immigrant children at a federally funded residential treatment center in Texas has practiced without board certification to treat children and adolescents for nearly a decade, records show.
On the Texas Medical BoardāsĀ website, though, Dr. Javier RuĆz-Nazario reported he had that specialized certification for treating children and adolescents. However, according to the website,Ā he has not yet updated the board on the status of this board certification as required byĀ its rules.
RuĆz-Nazarioās name appears on various court documents thatĀ allege troubling practicesĀ at the Shiloh Treatment Center south of Houston, including affidavits in class-action settlement motionsĀ in which children claim they were tackled and injected and forced to take pills identified as vitamins that made them dizzy and drowsy.”
