Collin Gosselin Says He Was Restrained, Sedated at Behavioral Facility

E! News has reached out to a representative for Kate as well as her attorney for comment but has not yet heard back.

When Collin was ordered to go back to his unit, the then-teen persisted with his questions before the doctor allegedly called for backup. 

“Two male staff members were beside me in what seemed like seconds. Hands pulled my arms behind my back, and I was pushed to the floor,” the now-22-year-old wrote in the book. “My chest slammed into the tile so hard it knocked the air out of me. Knees dug into my back and legs.”

“I couldn’t breathe,” he continued. “I’d seen this happen to others who challenged the staff members, but all I had done was ask a question. As I lay on the floor panting, I watched Dr. Brown’s shiny shoes come toward me, and the two staff members who were holding me down quickly flipped me over to face up. The doctor stepped over me, with his back facing my head, then sat down on me, on my chest.”

But according to Collin—who was released into his dad’s care in 2018—the repercussions didn’t stop there. After the doctor removed himself from the young boy, he says that the staff members “pulled me into my room, threw me onto the bed, and closed the door.”

He then described how he saw the staffers gathered outside of his room with a metal tray, and immediately knew he would be injected with a sedative that the patients in the facility referred to as “booty juice.”

“Within seconds, five or six staff members were on top of me,” he recalled. “Hands grabbed my arms, my legs, my shoulders. They flipped me over onto my stomach and someone forced me down into the mattress while another person pinned my legs to the bed so I couldn’t kick.”

“Someone yanked my pants down,” he continued. “Heat rushed to my face immediately. ‘Ah, just another day at the office,’ one of them joked. A couple of the others laughed.”

Moments later, the medication took effect. As Collin put it, “My mind slowed to a crawl. There was no fighting it. My mind went blank, my body still. I felt like a candle that had been blown out with the lightest sigh, and I was plunged into darkness.”

A spokesperson for the facility said in the book that they could not comment on specific patients, but said that “at Fairmount Behavioral Health System, every day our staff strives to maintain a total therapeutic environment through individualized treatment for each patient. Comprehensive patient-oriented activities include group therapy, family therapy, allied therapy and educational services.”
