GAO investigating drugging of children
At the request of Congress, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) is seeking information regarding cases in which state foster children have been prescribed psychotropic medication outside of federal regulations or accepted medical standards of practice.
Scott Clayton, Analyst of the Forensic Audits and Special Investigations of the GAO stated Sunday:
"These cases may include very young foster children prescribed certain kinds of psychotropic drugs, children prescribed psychotropic drugs in dosages that exceed accepted standards, children prescribed psychotropic drugs for purposes other than a medically accepted indication, or children taking numerous psychotropic drugs concurrently."
If you have information about state foster children being prescribed psychotropic medication outside of regulatory and/or medical guidance and are willing to provide details, please e-mail GAO at
Blow up the GAO email, complete with attached documents, names and addresses.
No redactions.
Tell all their dirty little secrets.
It's on!
Thank you, Scott.
