I saw this whole Frontline a few years ago. Here’s a small portion of it on YouTube. It was a scary episode.
One poor kid had been on multiple drugs since he was four because he was hyper. As a teen he developed a permanent, uncontrollable head roll, but his family still had him on multiple meds.
The Wholesale Drugging of Children

Here is the first video of the complete episode—it shows the boy with the headroll. The parents act like they are victims, and maybe they are, but they could have told the teachers early on to go pound sand. I know it’s hard when the system is working on you each day, but if the kids don’t have their parents, the system will gladly step in. For this boy it had life altering consequences.

excellent point, and good links in #15 and #17!
yes, many adults have truly benefitted, under good doctors.
yes, al-jazeera has an agenda.
but, overall they’re still better than the LA Times.
(and report some things, our MSM won’t.)
the massive drugging of our children, especially boys,
IS a problem!
and there has been plenty on FR about MANY women getting their children on drugs, to get extra disability money.
this is a real problem and has serious consequences in the future...
My youngest son was not learning to read in school by the second grade. We became worried because he seemed to be less reading ready than when he was at the beginning of first grade. I started observing him in class by volunteering for everything I could. I observed a school experience of constant noise and a three ring circus all day long.
At the same time the “experts” at the school decided he needed ritlan and told me to get him on that drug right away. That is when we pulled him out for homeschool and he was healed to be a happy and intellegent human boy in life rather than a mentally and spiritually abused animal in a zoo.
