According to a recent survey, more than half of child and adolescent psychiatrists in Britain report having been consulted by young patients distressed about climate change and the state of the environment. The alleged effects of climate change (or more exactly, thoughts about climate change) upon these children and adolescents include PTSD, phobias, sleep disorders, cognitive deficits, and feelings such as helplessness, hopelessness, grief, and anger.

...

In this context, however, PTSD should surely stand for “pre-traumatic stress disorder”; that is to say children are being trained up so that, when they really do suffer from something rather than merely imagine it at some time in the future, having hitherto lived privileged lives by the standards of all previously existing human beings, they will be nice and vulnerable, requiring an army of therapists, counselors, social and auxiliary support workers, etc., to get through the rest of their lives.

The surge in cases is evidence of the child abuse inflicted by the schools.

Exactly.

(Reminds me of several jobs I’ve had. Anything went wrong, I was responsible. But I had no authority to fix things and my suggestions for what to do/fix were rejected by management. Now I work for myself. :-) )

Good for you.

Government by definition is power without reason or accountability.

Companies that run that way are inferior and lose to companies where management owns their responsibilities and works to fix the company’s problems.

And how! Do we even have schoolteachers any more, or just political operatives who will sacrifice children under their care as needed?
