"The state of Florida locked away Isaiah White 11 months ago [2002]. They confined him in a place they call the 'quiet room.' They held him down and injected him with powerful drugs. They forced him into full-body restraints as he wriggled on the floor. He was 6 years old." (PALM BEACH POST) This article presents the story of Isaiah White, a child struggling with mental health disorders and institutionalized by the state who disciplined him as if he were an adult.
