Sterilization Scandal

           "Mrs. Ainsworth violated all sense of justice and decency . . . . The father [of a 19-year old] was violently opposed to having his boy subjected to this mutilation. She tricked the father into signing a consent order on the pretext that he was signing his son's release from the Wayne County Training School.""     Time Magazine Jan. 22, 1934
