I was shocked to read the article in the laters Freedom Magazine on about tens of thousands of children who were falsely labled "mentally retarded" and were forced into virtual slavery in psychiatric institutions in Canada in the 1940s.

 The story tells about Clarina Duguay who, at the age of 11, was sent to an orphanage along with  her sister, when her mother contracted tuberculosi.  Her father, a lumberjack, couldn’t care for her so she was sent away "to get a good education." 

From there ensued a horror story of children being forced to do hard labor, take heavy doses of thorazine, and being electric shocked, lobotomized and even killed.

Apparently Freedom has been researching this story since 1999, and it shows.  It is very well written and it is very hard to believe.
