Rebecca Riley

Google search results for Dr. Kayoko Kifuji, the psychiatrist who prescribed the deadly drugs to Rebecca Riley, and the rest of the family.

The parents were taking the drugs prescribed to them by Dr. Kifuji when they were giving Rebecca and her siblings the drugs that were also prescribed by Dr. Kifuji. She had the whole family so drugged up they couldn't function. It's clear to me that Rebecca's parents were not fit to be caring for children, but it wasn't for lack of trying. They did just what the experts told them to do. They complied with DSS and Dr. Kifuji.

Other psychiatrists have stated that it's not possible to diagnose an infant with bipolar disorder, the drugs prescribed to Rebecca are not intended to treat the conditions she was diagnosed with, the drugs are not approved for use by children, the drugs are not approved in the combination prescribed, and the doses were dangerously high.

A competent parent would not have accepted their entire family, infants included, being diagnosed with psychological disorders, and being prescribed cocktails of deadly drugs like this. I've seen reports that these parents are poorly educated, which would diminish their capacity to make educated decisions. Instead of protecting her patients, Dr. Kifuji further diminished their capacity by prescribing strong drugs to them. When DSS questioned these prescriptions, Dr. Kifuji assured DSS that the prescriptions were appropriate.

Your post on that incompetent has them pegged. Now if authorities could ever absorb the lesson you brought out, and wield some real justice...

With some of these "professionals" we may expect evil intent way beyond the moniker of incompetent. In this case, perhaps it is enough for a murder charge.

but we should not underestimate the capacity for some of amazing stupidity and incompetence exceeding all known bounds. Here is an example. Our son, was staying for awhile in a very well known facility. (in our misguided efforts to get him well needed range of motion and related therapy,)

While there, he caught the usual light cold making its circuit through the facility. The doctor (foreign born and educated, not that there is anything wrong with that...) proscribed an antihistamine in unusual amounts for such a tiny tyke. When she realized our son was growing hyper with all that antihistamine, she actually reasoned that antihistamine in small amounts calm one down. Ergo lots of antihistamines should do even more. When he got even worse, she gave him even more. By this time he was practically stuck to the ceiling he was so hyper, dangerously so, and that is when we arrived. We asked the doctor for an explanation and so help me, she thought our kid should get even more. It was not malice, just stupidity.

But there is a pattern here, part of the disease of liberalism. Earlier I posted how in the education system, if it were not doing well, liberals would throw money at it. Then as it got worse, they would throw even more money at it, never understanding the money was achieving the opposite effect.

That is what happened with the antihistamines and that is what happened to our version of DSS at the time, who would heap money on getting incompetent doctors. And when the results were poor, they would heap even more upon us.

Rebecca died slowly. She was in a sort of stupor or state of lassitude that just got worse. She had no energy and was less and less responsive. A doctor who could not see that, who kept a dying child on stupefying drugs, ought to be drummed out of medicine and sued for malpractice. The bureaucrats who let it happen ought to be flipping burgers (if they are capable of doing something productive).
