Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yesterday.. I found this video on PBS, it's called, " The Medicated Child " . http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/medicatedchild/view/ The video is about children as young as 2 years old being medicated with strong potent drugs to deal with all kinds of issues, ADHD, Hyperactivity, etc. Please watch the entire video. You will be shocked to learn how the FDA, allows anti-psychotic drugs to be used to treat behaviors in children without there being a diagnosis. Medication should be a last option, not the only option. Please watch the video and provide feedback.. I'd like to here everyone's opinions.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Frightening to watch. I once worked at an exclusive private school that advocated in the children's iep meeting that perhaps they needed drugs for adhd. The kids were 5 & 6 yrs old! I advocated for the parents & children and ended up not working there in a very short period of time. I was horrified and this was in Dade County.
