Unbelievable pile of flyers covering the lecture hall
tables - for books , week long short courses of
£380 fees etc.

What they aren't telling you about DNA profiles
and what Special Branch don't want you to know.

Nothing much in the programme that was surprising.
I know the nursing manager of a large private residential
adult psychiatric care facility.
The last 10 seconds was the interesting bit .
The private residential child care inspectors
are now going to do what this ch4 team did
and the BBC before in adult care did.
Send under-cover inspectors in instead of
announced visits.

On a different topic out of curiosity I looked
on the shelves of Soton Univ. SW section , perhaps
a thousand books. To see if there were any titles like
" Investigation and control of corruption
and incompetence in Social Service management "
Nothing like it , maybe a chapter in one of them
but I doubt it. Probably internet only for that sort
of information.

That's not the problem ; the problem is CSCI is paperwork and inputs
orientated ; in fact they are obsessed by it.

Nasty expose of New York this evening on BBC, UK

Guinea Pig Kids
Vulnerable children in some of New York's poorest districts are being forced
to take part in HIV drug trials.

During a nine month investigation, the BBC has uncovered the disturbing
truth about the way authorities in New York City are conducting the fight
against Aids.

HIV positive children - some only a few months old - are enrolled in toxic
experiments without the consent of guardians or relatives.

In some cases where parents have refused to give children their medication,
they have been placed in care.

The city's Administration of Children's Services (ACS) does not even require
a court order to place HIV kids with foster parents or in children's homes,
where they can continue to give them experimental drugs.

Reporter Jamie Doran talks to parents and guardians who fear for the lives
of their loved ones, and to a child who spent years on a drugs programme
that made him and his friends ill.

In 2002, the Incarnation Children's Center - a children's home in Harlem -
was at the hub of controversy over secretive drugs trials.

Jamie speaks to a boy who spent most of his life at Incaranation. Medical
records, obtained by the This World team, prove the boy had been enrolled in
these trials.

"I did not want to take my medication," said the boy, "but if you want to
get out of there, you have to do what they say."

He also conveys a horrifying account of what happened to the children at
Incarnation who refused to obey the rules. "My friend Daniel didn't like to
take his medicine and he got a tube in his stomach," he said.


The ACS has exceptionally strong legal muscle over the city's kids

Dr David Rasnick from the University of Berkeley who has studied the effects
of HIV drugs on patients - particularly children - says these drugs are
"lethal".

"The young are not completely developed yet," he says. "The immune system
isn't completely mature until a person's in their teens."

So why are these children targetted? Is it simply because they cannot defend
themselves?

At the beginning of this investigation, the ACS said that no child was
selected for trials without a long process of decision making, but declined
to comment further.

For months, the BBC tried to get information from the people responsible for
the trials, but none would comment.

The companies that supply drugs for the trials are among the world's
largest, including Britain's own Glaxo SmithKline (GSK).

GSK responded to BBC programme makers, saying that all trials follow
stringent stardards and are compliant with local laws and regulations.

Under federal rules, consent for children to take part in drug trials has to
be given by their parents.

But what if that child is in the care of New York City authorities, which
volunteered it for trials in the first place?

Guinea Pig Kids was broadcast on Tuesday, 30th November, 2004, at 1930 GMT
on BBC Two (UK).
