So when will the 'Ministry of Correct Thinking' be set up? It seems to be the logical extension of this so very Orwellian mental health program.

Will they face coercion and threats of removal from school, or child neglect charges, if they refuse privacy-invading interrogations or unproved medications? How will a child remove a stigmatizing label from his records?

And the homeschools will just laugh!

A lot of children are suffering from mental illnesses. Perhaps if there were some screening they could be helped before their problems become part of their personality. I think something along these lines is worth studying.

Usually by kindergarten a psychologist can, with the help of teachers, spot the kids who are anti-social.

I don't think the answer is always medication, but sometimes that can help people make a turn-around.

Our society is so busy that children aren't having their emotional and spiritual needs met. They are often tired, poorly fed, and emotionally neglected by tired over-stressed parents. Many have divorced parents.

Many parents don't realize when their child is depressed. They think it is a "phase" until the child commits suicide.

Families used to have parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins. There were people to talk to and guide you. Now children are often home alone after school with the TV.

Its genesis was the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (NFCMH) created by President George W. Bush in 2002.
BTW, this was done by Executive Order. You know, that old "Stroke of the pen, law of the land." thing...
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health
Executive Order
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to improve America's mental health service delivery system for individuals with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment. There is hereby established the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (Commission).

A little too much abuse of the pen IMO.
There are 163 of them so far. He's on par with WJC.

Psychiatry is not a science it is an educated liberal person stating an opinion. Most of them have a mental illness in my opinion. We have no business messing with kids minds,9 times out of ten discipline problems arent with the kids it is with the parent. Show me an Amish kid who is on prozac.Discipline and work make for good kids, Television,video games and spoiling by parents who believe their kids can do no wrong IS a problem.

( waiting for the post accusing me of wanting to use kids for slave labor) fact is kids need some sort of responsibility around the house when they get old enough.cleaning their own rooms and dumping the trash for instance.

Discipline and work make for good kids,

I'm with you on this one sgt.

A little work never hurt anyone and in most cases, helps everyone.

Parental rights are unclear or non-existent under these mental screening programs. What are the rights of youth and parents to refuse or opt out of mental screening?

The ICMHP is social engineering at its worst; a make jobs program for the educational Bureaucracy.

This scary scenario of putting all children under one 'net' or cookie cut personalities is more than deadly for the future of our country. Home School whenever possible!

Another reason for getting your children OUT of the Federal Schools. Just keeping them home will enhance their safety and there's no way for them not to learn more than they would in public schools just from the tailored attention. Parents must revolt agains this child abuse.
