YMMV / Cold Case S 5 E 9 Boy Crazy

• Complete Monster: Dr. Russell Kearns was a 60s-era Psycho Psychologist who specialised in the torture of children. His gender non-conforming patients were subjected to strict, systematic abuse to "cure" them; when one transgender boy named Alex proved defiant and called him and his institution out for what they were, Kearns had him subjected to ECT. This fried Alex's brain and left him a near-vegetable, with the only lucid part of him unable to do anything but beg for death. Kearns' institute eventually went under for pumping out at least three more of these "zombie" children, each of their minds destroyed by his abuse.
