"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."

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. :)

I found out about the restrictions on diagnosis of children, by reading the DSM IV. My concern is that the counselor of these children(that I'm mentioning) is merely a social security scam, on the part of the mother.

The mother told the counselor that the oldest one was bipolar. The girl's problem is that she didn't want to put up with her mom's crazy BS. Mommy is a meth addict. She convinced the counselor that the girl is bipolar, and put her on Social Security. After the claim went through, mommy spent the first check(it accures from the day you put in your claim), on a car for herself. The girl doesn't see or get to use that monthly check.

She told her daddy that she didn't know she was anymore, last year. Now the mother and her bf are working the 13 yr old. Disgusting.

The schools aren't much better than disfunctional parents.
