Girls Drugged At Care Homes Birthed Babies With Defects, UK

[Guest guest]

" Experts now believe hundreds of young girls heavily sedated in UK care homes

during the 1970s and 1980s may be at risk of having children with genetic

defects due to the drugs they were given. "

Records at Kendall House show children were restrained and forced to take pills

prescribed for schizophrenics, psychotics and Parkinson's disease, even though

none suffered from these conditions.

Nine other former residents of Kendall House who were similarly drugged, have

told how their children born decades later suffer from defects including

hydrocephalus, heart and joint problems and neurofibromatosis - small tumours on

the nerve endings - as well as dyslexia and learning difficulties.

'Changes in genes and chromosomes induced by drugs may lead to birth defects or

abnormalities later in life.
