A children's psychiatric hospital in the UK became the talk of the town after it was revealed that they experiment with their patients. It was revealed that patients (who are mostly children) are being injected with a "truth serum" by the hospital.
Aston Hall patients from the 60's and 70's surfaced as they reportedly stated that they were drugged during their stay in the psychiatric hospital, BBC reports. The abuse may have taken place decades ago, but the complaints were still unresolved.
Several abuse victims have decided to open up and tell the public what they went through during their treatment sessions. One of the doctors being pointed out is Dr. Kenneth Miliner who reportedly injected the children with a "truth serum" which is a mixture of sodium amytal.

"I can remember equating it to being drunk and I was going: 'I feel like I've had about a bottle of gin, I feel like I've had about two bottles of gin," Marianne, the former patient of Aston Hospital told the reporters. "And I can remember going: 'Happy Christmas, doctor.'" The former patients of Aston Hall Hospital decided to open up about their experience after a group of "urban explorers" took photos of the abandoned hospital and published it online on the Project Mayhem website. Previous patients from the hospital that were drugged and sexually abused then moved forward as they commented on the photos.

There are several victims that came to light stating their experiences and investigators were able to tie up their narratives. Some even mentioned that they were being sent to Aston Hall if they'd get pregnant out of wedlock, as some that were confined in the hospital are children who were diagnosed with Down syndrome and other mental health impairment.
The investigators are still trying to take a closer look as to what happened inside the walls of Aston Hall hospital. The investigators, however, would no longer be able to get some of their answers from Dr. Kenneth Miliner as he passed away in 1975.
