Sorry I'm much later to get to the thread than I usually am. I reread the post myself and saw several things of note. When I checked back on the SC website, I saw that sometimes use of drugs to control behavior (ie: of a lucid person) can be abuse. That certainly seems to be what happened.

I think that should include kids who are inappropriately medicated for convenience. I don't know what's wrong with some of these counselors! As far as I know, it is against the law to diagnose a minor as far as being a sociopath or bipolar. It's happening a second time to one family. In reality, the mother is scamming Social Security. The aunt is going for custody.

Oh, hope you had a great Thanksgiving :-)

I agree with you 100%. I won't even go into the political agenda behind choosing which kids get doped up.

IIRC, a handful of states now have laws that only licensed psychiatrists can diagnose kids, and only they and MD's can prescribe. All states should do this. But it seems redundant - I don't think any state allows practicing medicine without a license.

We can take them on with tactics outlined in #499. School systems, like medical corporation, are set up to insulate individuals from responsibility and consequences of their actions. So, take on the school system only to learn who the responsible individuals are, then take on every responsible individual teacher, counselor, principle, administrator, and school board member. Also state government policy makers.

Practicing medicine without a license is a serious charge with serious penalties. Conspiracy to practice medicine without a license would be too. So before they forcibly drug some kid, school employees should think real hard about whether doing so is worth the consequences it may bring them.

And that's my one and only rant for tonight. Promise. :)
