The Scoop

In a nine-month investigation, BBC reporter Jamie Doran discovered that HIV-positive children in New York City are being given experimental and highly toxic drugs without the consent of guardians or relatives. One doctor who has studied the effects of such drugs says they are “lethal.” If parents or caretakers refuse to give children the medication, the city’s Administration of Children’s Services can remove the children and place them “with foster parents or in children’s homes, where they can continue to give them experimental drugs.”
