Psychiatric Drugging of Foster Kids
52% of kids in foster care are being prescribed dangerous and deadly psychiatric drugs. Many are on cocktails of prescribed drugs, including antipsychotics and antidepressants with documented side effects of diabetes, stroke, mania, psychosis, tumors, coma, suicide and death.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is conducting a study on the overmedication of foster children. So far, the design of the study if flawed.
The person engaged in this study is Blake Ainsworth. Call him and tell him your personal stories of the hell of foster care because the States will not report it. Here is his number: 202-512-4609. Make sure you let him know who gave you the number.
This is why kids are drugged in foster care.
And this is why no one wants to do anything about it. Deceptive marketing.
