Stop the Psychotropic Drugging of America's Children

The Issue

Millions of American children are identified daily with some type of mental or behavioral challenge and are subsequently recommended to school psychologists for testing.  Once tested, and depending on the results of the pencil/paper tests that are administered, a school psychologist reports back to school administrators with the results.  These results, which are frequently unfavorable for the student, then leads to school administrators referring parents to outside psychiatrists for further evaluation which is frequently followed by recommendations for so-called "medication."  These so-called "medications" are the dream child of pharmaceuticals who were able to strategically and very profitably sell the idea to school staff and parents that the "medications" will help children perform better at school.  Panicked parents who out of fear succumb to the recommendations of schools and psychiatrists, are ill informed and are never told the long term dangers of allowing their children to be prescribed harsh amphetamine based drugs.  The true results indicate there are rarely any observable benefits for the child, and many children eventually suffer from brain atrophy, drug addiction, and severe heart problems leading to death.  The practices of labeling thousands of American children with psychiatric disorders and subsequently drugging them is probably one of the most atrocious crimes aganist children that has ever been allowed in the history of America.  Attempts to get legislators to look at this problem and author a bill that outlaws these practices is mostly ignored, due to the immense power of pharmaceuticals.  In the meantime, our children are dying and thousands of minds are being destroyed, and the American public lacks vision to see these truths.  The children need our help in creating and passing a bill that outlaws these practices.
