Psychiatry Drugs Foster Care Children - Andrew

Video Title :	Psychiatry Drugs Foster Care Children - Andrew
Description :	Psychiatry Drugs Foster Care Children - Andrew I took my video camera to a Foster Care Alumni meeting and asked seven foster kids to tell me about there experiences in Child Protective Services while wards of the state. One thing they all had in common was massive over drugging with psychiatric drugs. Child placement agencies, foster parents, RTCs (Residential Treatment Centers) and Therapeutic Foster Homes get paid a certain amount of money each day for taking care of a foster child. The amount of money they get paid depends on a level of care system. The more difficult the child or the more problems that child has, the more money you get. A child at the basic level of care is worth about 17 dollars a day where as a child in the highest level of care could be worth as much as a 1000 dollars a day. This puts the incentive on diagnosing children with behavior problems to justify raising their level of care. A child on psychiatric drugs is worth more than a child without problems. It is not uncommon for a foster child to be placed on many different psychotropic drugs at the same time. Some investigations have found children on as many as 13 mind altering drugs prescribed by a psychiatrists at one time. These drugs include all categories of psychiatric drugs; antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, anxiety medications, anticonvulsants medications, etc. The SSRI drugs are commons such as Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, etc. Also a number of these children described taking Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon and other new generation antipsychotics which have been linked to weight gain, obesity and diabetes.

You are a brave young man for telling your story. You are to be applauded for the strength of character you have shown despite your horrendous experience. Thank you for helping to make us all aware of the many abuses that are done in the name of the medical science and other such agencies.

I wish this guy all the best in life

I salute you Andrew.

The whole idea was to make you an addict. You are a beautiful young man. Well done for speaking out.

Please go to Yahoo and see my report on antipsychotics by typing in: "Proof Psychiatric Drugs Shorten Lifespan" into Yahoo Search and see the angelfire link for the latest version of the report,

I was also under various foster care but they didn't use any drugs. And behaviors were no big deal. Just natural behavior and then straightening things out. No mental ill labels, etc.

god help ya, these child protection services, just have ya on there books, and say the children come 1st.its a scam my two beautiful children are in care last 7 yrs, and i cant get them back.child protectors, more like child kidnappers

Corporations do what makes them money. Their attitude is: Who cares if it hurts the life of a foster kid? They don't see that on their balance sheet.

diabetes 2000-3000 dollars and 8 months will greatly fix that problem check out alkaline Water. Expensive as hell but what cost is there for good health look it up :-) FDA forbids anyone to use the word "cure" since they past the insane law stating only a drug can cure a Disease.

I taught special ed and I'm very wary of medications. I had students that were medicated, and when the parents were careless (which they usually were) the kids had horrible reactions. For instance: the kid misses a dose, so the parent doubles on the meds, and the kid passes out. Or the psychologist sends the parent to a cheap PSYCHIATRIST (with dubious foreign credentials) who over-prescribes drugs. You can imagine what happens.
