Is TeenScope Exploiting Utah’s Medicaid Children for Dangerous Psychiatric Experiments Under Governor Cox?

Is TeenScope Exploiting Utah’s Medicaid Children for Dangerous Psychiatric Experiments Under Governor Cox?

Republished with permission from AbleChild. 

Utah Governor Spencer Cox calls the state’s Huntsman Mental Health expansion a “historic investment.” Cox never discusses how many children actually participate, or whether any of the children ever get better after participation. In other words, another state mental health program with no accountability.

There is no public record of any audit of the Medicaid money behind the Huntsman Mental Health expansion and no sign of a federal review on how the taxpayer funds were used. Under Cox’s watch, Utah has poured enormous amounts of public and private funding into Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) and its brain-research tower, while refusing to reveal the number of children that are participating in the TeenScope day-treatment program, what “treatment” the children receive in the program, or whether the children are involved in high-risk, trial-level brain procedures that no one outside the system is aware of.​  The National Alliance of the Mentally Ill, NAMI, funded by Big Pharma claims that 85,000 adolescents in Utah ages 12-17 have depression or anxiety.  How many are being trafficked through Medicaid TeenScope? What does that consent process look like?

TeenScope is the front door. The program pulls 12- to 18-year-olds out of school into full-day mental health “treatment” run by HMHI, with groups, therapy, and drugs. TeenScope is treated as a routine part of Utah’s mental-health network, yet there is no public audit of TeenScope itself—no legislative report, no state oversight. The public has little to no information about this mental health program, beginning with how many children participate in it or how many children may be from foster care or state custody and later pushed into locked units or adult services like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Decades of operation and hundreds of millions in related investment without a single transparent, program-specific look is not oversight; it is a vacuum.

TeenScope also provides no information about the number of children who are prescribed psychiatric drugs, yet “medication management” is built into its model. The funding and power behind the program create a closed-door machine that floods children with strong mind-altering drugs and calls it “treatment.” A system that quietly rewires distressed kids with drugs and other, newer mental health experimentation starts to look like a breeding ground for unstable, troubled youth who later show up in mass-shooting headlines.​

Research on similar youth programs shows that most kids in these settings are prescribed at least one powerful psychotropic drug, often several at once. That means Utah is failing to advise the public about specifics of the program, including just the number of children that participate in the TeenScope program, and how many are  heavily medicated.

The scale of the investment in the program is staggering. The Huntsman family put up $150 million to create HMHI at the University of Utah, turning the old UNI facility into a new flagship for “innovation.” Lawmakers added another $90 million for a huge brain-research tower, including high-end scanners and labs. At least several million more in mixed public–private money has gone into youth crisis services that steer families into HMHI’s orbit, plus a national mental-health campaign that pushes Huntsman-branded messaging across the country.

Together, public and private money for this mental-health empire easily surpasses $300 million, yet little to nothing is reported about the children who participate in the program. One could easily conclude that when that much private cash is tied to one brain-research tower, the pressure is to chase “breakthroughs,” not protect children’s rights—so every distressed child to TeenScope or an HMHI unit risks becoming a quiet test subject.​

Unfortunately, Medicaid is wired to feed that empire. Medicaid can be billed for extra days a child sits in an HMHI bed or TeenScope slot, above normal hospital rates. Under Governor Cox, the state has steered this bonus cash straight to Huntsman and Utah State Hospital for “behavioral health.” The longer children stay, the more money flows into the program, and there is no public oversight showing how much of that cash is tied to children or how many young patients are held just long enough to pull in the maximum federal dollars.

Into that vacuum step the only detailed witnesses available: former youth patients. Survivors describing HMHI youth tracks and TeenScope-linked programs report that children are treated like lab rats, controlled by rigid point systems, kept indoors for weeks, punished for small rule breaks, and pressured to accept whatever is offered. “Voluntary” often means little when saying no was framed as risking school, family, or any future help. This is what happens when a powerful institution operates without meaningful outside scrutiny and legislative oversight.

Behind TeenScope stands the brain-research tower that all the funding built. HMHI sells it as a place for “innovative” brain treatments using scans, magnets, and data. At the same time, Huntsman-backed AI mental-health bots like “Love, Your Mind” roam through kids’ games and online spaces, nudging their feelings and choices even when children think they are talking to real people. These tools can quietly train children to interact with AI “helpers” they assume are human, without clear security or informed consent for parents.​

Through all of this, Governor Cox acts more like HMHI’s salesman than the public’s watch dog. Cox praises “historic” investments and signs laws that feeds increased Medicaid billing but never requires simple answers to important questions about how the children are being treated in the program, what measures are utilized to determine if the program is a success and how many children can be considered to have successfully completed the program? The numbers offered to the public are about buildings, branding, and budgets—not about children and outcomes.

Distressed children from schools, hospitals, and state systems are funneled into TeenScope and HMHI, and then turned into billing units and research material. Any move toward more extreme brain interventions on minors is buried in sealed court records and medical secrecy. Utahns can see the buildings and the money, but not the children whose bodies and futures are being used to keep the funding flowing.

Governor Cox needs to explain why there has been no oversight over this Medicaid program and when the public can expect the necessary oversight to begin. The children of Utah deserve better.

    • He has already stated publicly that he will work to oppose everything Trump going forward.
      Not just a left leaning RINO, I believe he is part of an on-going nationwide concentrated plan for Democrats, who can't get elected in red states, to change stripes and run as Republicans.
      In the last 2.5 decades, left leaning GOP members of Congress (both Houses) appears to have steadily increased to such a degree that real America First, constitutional conservatives are nearly a minority. These RINOs hate Trump as much as the leftist Democrats because he continues to expose the historical criminal grifting practiced by both parties!!

    • Cox and his wife are both pushing the Trans agenda / destruction of children big time….

      His stage name is …..Lix Cox when he does story time at the libary….

  1. Cox is a RINO, so there's that. Anytime you have a situation like this, and no oversight, you have fraud.
    Look into this and take care of our tax money.

    • "Republicans" are needed to further "democrat" schemes. Look at our recent history. A lot of these RINOs need to go badly, before they help pass (with "democrats") hidden stuff that you only find out about years later (like the PREP act)
      I wish that we were better organized and weren't so easily distracted like what is going on now with Candice and Erica. Clearly Candice is trying to destroy Charlie Kirk's organization. IMO.
      We have the globalists who want to destroy the last aspects of our Constitutional Republic, and IMO they have deeply infiltrated both the government bueauracrats and elected officials. IMO, many are sleepers who are used when important votes are needed, and they can do a lot of damage at that point.
      Now they are delaying any lasting changes in the law, and the next "Democrat" will undo all the executive orders. It seems obvious.

  2. I don't trust anything Cox is involved with. I know someone involved with a state mental health treatment using powerful magnets was kicked out of the crime scene shortly after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Why were they there?

  3. There are so many mass school shootings with every shooter a young man prescribed these anti psychotic meds, so many suicides of young men on these meds, so many children grow up to become homeless because of these meds. So many destroyed children..that for the first time the research is actually being done to see how these meds affect the brain and the brain chemistry.
    Big Pharma must be terrified of the massive lawsuits that are coming or are filed. The teachers unions one of the biggest drug pushers of these meds must also be terrified

  4. "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.'

    Jesus, Matthew 18:6

    This goes for YOU, Democrats !!!

  5. You can "manufacture" school shootings. Look at Bx on substack, "Bx writes". A interesting (and attractive) person, she is a PI and a gun enthusiast, and a body guard. She got mixed up with 764 and other "nihilist violent extremists" and now thinks that some groups are trying to collapse the US and one of the ways that they intend to do that is with school shootings. Besides, school shootings seem to have the greatest chance to limit or eliminate the 2A in the US (another globalist goal) because they are so shocking and obviously evil.
    I think that she might be on to something.
    Most of her writings are free. She is quite articulate and not a conspiracy theorist.

  6. GOV Cox Is Definitely a World Economic Forum Card Carrying Member & UN Agenda 2030 Acolyte !!! A Satan Worshiping Demon Dressed Up Like a Mormon …

  7. "Big Pharma (who sell medication for treatment) (that's also addictive) claims that 85,000 adolescents in Utah ages 12-17 have depression or anxiety." The study discovered also that 85,000 of these adolescents with depression or anxiety were the children of Democrats. Could there be any kind of connection?

  8. Utah is a creepy state run by a creepy cult whose founder, Joseph Smith, was a pedophile and polygamist. The tainted genes are all still there.

  9. Audits are called for any State budget using federal funds. Big Pharm is into human experimentation, continuation of WWII.

  10. Does anyone have any understanding of what those meds do to these boys? Has anyone you even talked to one who was addicted to these meds as an adult? Ever wean a adult off these meds so that they could function at a job and in society?
    The meds make a child feel NOTHING no emotions at all. They are never able to mature and thrive as an adult. When they go off these meds cold turkey they HATE everything as their brain's neuro transmitters are overwhelmed.
    The worst of the withdrawals is when the person wants to kill everyone and everything. They have to be hand held for a week or so until their brain chemistry adjusts back to normal.
    Heroin is a safer drug than these meds
    Big Pharma should be put on trial for the mass murder of young boys in America all for profit

    • Before covid, these SRRIs were the worst that Big Pharma was able to inflict on people. Seems a magnitude of order worse now with the mandatory covid shots. You can get away with a lot of deaths if they are delayed a few months (and you have the MSM under control)

  11. Trust me I live in Ut, Cox is a huge two faced scumbag, he part of the big club here if you get my hint, he does just as he is told.
