Time To Address How Justice Is Dispensed To Foster Children - Not One Penny Of $8 Billion Risperdal Settlement Will Go To Medicaid Billed Foster Kids Who Were Lab Rats

FUN FACT! REISPERDAL WAS TESTED ON FOSTER KIDS AS LAB RATS

ANOTHER FUN FACT! WHEN FOSTER BOYS WOULD GROW BREASTS, THEY WERE PRESCRIBED MORE SECOND GENERATION ANTIPSYCHOTROPICS TO STOP THE BREAST GROWTH

Just think.

Arnold & Itkin

Not one foster boy who was used as a lab rat and grew breasts will receive one red penny.

Not a dime.

Not even allowed access to their medical records upon aging out or escaping of foster care to a life on the streets, with breasts.

Why, you may ask?

Because no one cares and the attorneys will get the largest chunk of the damages, with the States in tow, launching more foreign Social Impact Bond programs, for more socioeconomic experiments, to their Public Private Partnerships, to fund campaigns.

I called Arnold & Itkin to ask if any foster kids would receive part of the settlement, or if the firm is going to work with the States Medicaid Fraud Control Units, but was told that the settlement was for their client.

One person, where not one penny goes to the Foster Kids who were used as lab rats, where the illegal use of Risperdal was billed to Medicaid, where not one penny will be reimbursed to the States.

The law firm did take my information and said they would call me back.

They asked with whom I was working.

I informed them that I would be reporting to the U.S. Department of Justice, who can then refer to the proper conjugal collaboration, just as soon as I publish.

Oh, and if a parent lodges a formal complaint, they are met with threats of termination of parental rights, to put the boy up for adoption to be sold, and continue being drugged above and beyond adult dosages.

Will the States Medicaid Fraud Control Units do anything?

Utah Attorney General Mark Schurtleff did, where his original complaint is below, but it seemed to get rather murky, and it seems to be ongoing.

Everything you wanted to know about Risperdal and foster kids if here.

Here is everything you wanted to know about drugging foster kids as lab rats - antipsychotropic experiments.

It is time to address how justice is dispensed to Foster Children.

Just keeping it real.

Johnson & Johnson to pay $8B in damages for Risperdal drug linked to female breast tissue in boys

Johnson & Johnson to pay $8B in damages for Risperdal drug linked to female breast tissue in boys

A Philadelphia jury on Tuesday awarded $8 billion in punitive damages against Johnson & Johnson and one if its subsidiaries over a drug the companies made that the plaintiff's attorneys say is linked to the abnormal growth of female breast tissue in boys.

Risperdal

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Philadelphia jury on Tuesday awarded $8 billion in punitive damages against Johnson & Johnson and one if its subsidiaries over a drug the companies made that the plaintiff's attorneys say is linked to the abnormal growth of female breast tissue in boys.

Johnson and Johnson immediately denounced the award after the jury's decision in the Court of Common pleas, saying it's "excessive and unfounded" and vowing immediate action to overturn it.

The antipsychotic drug Risperdal is at the center of the lawsuit, with the plaintiff's attorneys arguing it's linked to abnormal growth of female breast tissue in boys, an incurable condition known as gynecomastia.

Johnson & Johnson used an organized scheme to make billions of dollars while illegally marketing and promoting the drug, attorneys Tom Kline and Jason Itkin said in a statement.

Johnson & Johnson said in a statement on its website it was confident that the award would be overturned, calling it "grossly disproportionate" with the initial compensatory damage award and "a clear violation of due process."

Johnson & Johnson said the court's exclusion of key evidence left it unable to present a meaningful defense, including what they said was a drug label that "clearly and appropriately outlined the risks associated with the medicine" or Risperdal's benefits for patients with serious mental illness. They also said the plaintiff's attorneys failed to present any evidence of actual harm.

"This decision is inconsistent with multiple determinations outside of Philadelphia regarding the adequacy of the Risperdal labeling, the medicine's efficacy, and findings in support of the company," Johnson & Johnson said. "We will be immediately moving to set aside this excessive and unfounded verdict."

Michigan Last Minute Release Of Godboldo's Daughter

Pro forma, I am posting my Detroit News comment on my site as they will more than likely remove it.

The U.S. Department of Justices has entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the makers of Risperdal, AstraZeneca and Janssen, for "illegally and wrongfully" marketing Risperdal and Seroquel with false research...on children.

Even though the U.S. Department of Justice has entered into a $520 million dollar false claims act settlement agreement, Michigan child protective services and the Attorney General do not really care because AstraZeneca has big financial stakes in Michigan politics!

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has filed a major false claims action against these pharmaceutical corporations for Medicaid fraud.  Unfortunately, the Attorney General of Michigan cannot do so as there stands existing law prohibiting similar actions to recovery fraudulent payments.

So, as the story goes, Michigan Attorney General will prosecute this case, as Wayne County is the only county in Michigan where the Attorney General prosecutes child welfare cases, and contemporaneously defend the privately contracted child placing agency, Children's Center, instead of going after Medicaid fraud and protecting the rights of its youngest citizens.

Now, that's child abuse!

Mom charged in standoff celebrates teen's release

Doug Guthrie / / The Detroit News

Northville Township— A Detroit teenager was released from a state mental health facility to her family today, more than a month after authorities took her from her home after her mother stopped giving her prescribed psychotropic drugs.

Maryanne Godboldo leaped and thrust her hands into the air as she walked from the entrance of the Hawthorn Center to announce that state authorities had finally acceded to a judge's order to release her daughter, 13, to live with a relative.

"I am so excited to finally have my daughter back," said Godboldo, 56. The Detroit mother still faces criminal charges over a March 24 standoff with police who helped child welfare workers take Ariana Godboldo from her west side home. Authorities allege that Godboldo fired a shot at police.

Judge Lynne Pierce of Wayne County Circuit Court's Juvenile Division threatened last week to hold parties in contempt of court today unless they complied with her order to release the girl to an aunt.

Ariana was released to Penny Godboldo shortly before noon, and Maryanne Godboldo said she is excited to "begin her daughter's healing."

State authorities have accused the mother of medical neglect for halting the girl's treatment with the controversial anti-psychotic drug Risperdal, which is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. A trial over the neglect allegations and custody of the child is set to being in June before Pierce.

"Legally, they had no right to remove my daughter so I don't understand what this continuation is about, other than bullying," Maryanne Godboldo said.

The state had filed appeals of the judge's decisions. Pierce also ordered doctors from the state facility and Godboldo's own doctor, an internist who specializes in holistic medicine, to jointly draft a medical treatment plan for the girl.

Dr. Margaret Betts said she and Hawthorn Center's assistant clinical director, Dr. George Melos, completed their agreement last week.

"Dr. Melos had no objection to her medical release. Our planning was a collegial exercise and we thought she would be released last Friday," Betts said today outside Hawthorn Center. "I'm happy that we can now begin to investigate Ariana's problems and we don't have to use the pharmaceutical approach. We will give her medicine only when the effect is greater than the side effects. Risperdal is controversial because it has a black box warning. It is not indicated for children."

Betts said the plan calls for giving the girl time to rest after being kept five weeks in the state facility, and to adjust to living with her aunt.

Then, she said, tests will be done to determine the cause of Ariana's sometimes delusional behavior, which appears to have begun in 2009 after she took a catch-up cocktail of childhood immunizations to switch from homeschooling to a more traditional school. She said the state will help by providing psychiatric evaluations.

"Ariana's life has been turned upside down," Betts said. "Her traumatization began more than a year ago with what her family has said may be encephalitis as a reaction to immunization. She's been further traumatized by being taken and kept from her mother for more than a month, but now we can begin to find the cause of her problem and properly treat her."

Godboldo had signed an agreement almost a year ago to treat her daughter with Risperdal, after Detroit Police found the girl wandering naked in her neighborhood. But the written document, which is in the court's files, also advised the mother she had authority to halt the drug at any time.

State authorities said they acted when they received complaints from medical authorities that withholding the drug amounted to medical neglect.

Ron Scott, an organizer with the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality, said she has become a nationwide symbol of individual resistance to overzealous state authority. The coalition has helped Godboldo since before her release on bond for charges of criminal assault and opposing police.

"This is not just a victory for Maryanne and Hakim (Mubarak, the girl's father)," Scott said. "It is a victory for all families who fight to make the right decisions for their children."

Policy Pimps and Welfare Queens

Here we have an elaborate scheme where University of Louisville is caught up in the middle laundrying Medicaid money in order for the state to maximize its revenues by claiming more Medicaid funds.

The levels of fraud, waste and abuse in social welfare programs do not really take place with its recipients and if so, it is minimal.  Here is an example.

Many years ago, President Reagan made use of a term that has become synonymous with individuals on public assistance.  That term is the "Welfare Queen".

The Welfare Queen was promoted as the representative icon of all welfare persons.  She was the one who would wear mink coat, driving a Cadillac, while buying groceries with food stamps with 8 kids at home.

The nation has since adopted this distorted perception of welfare recipients as having children for money and being lazy.

It was the Heritage Foundation that created the image of the Welfare Queen.  The story was based upon the fraudulent activities of one woman who fraudulently claimed around $80,000.00 in welfare.

I consider the Welfare Queen to be one of the greatest propaganda tactics of all times.  Here you have an immediate, instant, on the spot available heuristic there to whip out every time there are stories such as the ones in the video, below.

A welfare queen is a pejorative phrase used in the United States to describe people who are accused of collecting excessive welfare payments through fraud or manipulation. Sensational reporting on welfare fraud began during the early-1960s, appearing in general interest magazines such as Readers Digest. The term entered the American lexiconduring Ronald Reagan's 1976 presidential campaign when he described a "welfare queen" from Chicago's South Side.^[1]Since then, it has become a stigmatizing label placed on recidivist poor mothers, with studies showing that it often carries gendered and racial connotations.

David Brennan, AstraZenneca Policy Pimp

A policy pimp is a phrase of parody used in the United States to describe a corporation or state, federally prosecuted of "illegally and wrongfully" filing false claims for reimbursement of welfare payments through Social Security programs of Medicare, Medicaid or TRICARE.  Censored reporting on corporate welfare fraud began during the early 1960's, manifesting in the promotion of a national healthcare system, what is known today as medical insurance.  Pharmaceutical corporations funded the design of university curriculum of social work and psychiatry, federal and state healthcare policies, and lobbyied as special interest groups to promote social programs which generated more customers who were mandated to take psychotic medications, allowed for clinical testing on foster children, all reimbursed through federal medical welfare programs.  Since then, the appellation of policy pimps has become a national sensation, exposing the harmful nature of drugs such as Seroquel, Celexa, Geodon, Lexapro and Zyprexa.  


Now, every time there is a major story of a pharmaceutical company or state being prosecuted for billions in welfare fraud, the story gets swept under the rug and reworked to blame the Welfare Queen by their corporately billionaire-funded minions, the Tea Party and their bought and paid for propaganda merchants.  Tea Party campaigns are funded to stop socialism, their new name for welfare.  Tea Party campaigns are also funded to distract the public from the true Welfare Kings.

A BRAVE NEW WORLD -Big Brother/Pharma hires data miners and PR firms to track individuals and blogs as part of their huge public perception/spin/image campaign machine

Who would have thought a little blog like mine and maybe yours were so damned important that Pharmaceutical Corporations would hire huge PR data mining firms to keep a watchful eye on us.

Yes, they rate us, write reports, even suggest a response strategy, and then take all this gathered analytical analysis to Big Brother (whoops typo: Big Pharma).

This is just one segment of the huge "Spin Machine" that is used to take any possible negative news or revelation about the "Sacred Pharmaceutical Cash Cow" to task, while reacting to any descent or counter messages in real living time.

In fact the companies the pharmaceutical Industry hire pride them selves publicly in their ability & stellar track records of taking any kind of serious negative fact/information, and then turning into a profitable positive fiction through controlling/manipulating the information, the message, the media, and in the end the highly valued public perception.

Companies like V-Fluence working for Corporations are watching us no doubt.

Just recently I had written about Robert Whitaker's New Book "Anatomy of an Epidemic".

When I happened to stumble upon a revealing tracking page VIA V-fluence the PR Firm (hired gun) working for no other than AstraZeneca Corporation.

So through my secretly held guarded trade nanotechnology methodology, and some highly honed intergalactic correspondence skills ( in other words known as pure "dumb luck"), I was able to open this interesting little page/document.

Drug firms hiding negative research are unfit to experiment on people

Another pharmaceutical giant has settled a big compensation claim. So why are they allowed to go on misleading the public?

This week the drug company AstraZeneca paid out £125m to settle a class action. More than 17,500 patients claim the company withheld information showing that schizophrenia drug quetiapine (tradename Seroquel) can cause diabetes. So why do companies pay out money before cases get to court?

An interesting feature of litigation is that various documents enter the public domain. This is how we know about the tobacco industry's evil plans to target children, the fake academic journal that Elsevier created for Merck's marketing department, and so on.

One of the most revealing documents ever to come out of a drug company emerged from an earlier quetiapine case: an email from John Tumas, publications manager at AstraZeneca. In it, he helpfully admits that they do everything I say drug companies do.

"Please allow me to join the fray," Tumas begins, in response to a colleague. "There has been a precedent set regarding 'cherry picking' of data." Cherry picking is where you report only flattering data, and ignore or bury data you don't like. The ears of lawyers prick up at any use of the word "bury" in relation to drug company data, as it implies something deliberate, and luckily John uses this word himself. The precedent, he explains, is "the recent … presentations of cognitive function data from trial 15 (one of the buried trials)"...more

In the United States, pharmaceutical corporations are allowed to conduct clinical trials on foster children because all studies, paid for through Medicaid, are protected from public disclosure under privacy laws of child welfare and FOIA exemptions and exclusions. 

One cannot mislead the public if the public never knows...

Stop Child Medicaid Fraud

Utah AG Attacks Medicaid Fraud

Utah Attorney General Mark L. Shurtleff has filed on behalf of the state, for the people of the state, including, for the first time in the history of this nation, children.

What Shurtleff has done is to stand up and show the rest of the States Medicaid Fraud Control Units what it means to protect the best interests of the people.

The complaint centers around Utah's False Claims Act. Janssen and AstraZeneca marketed Seroquel and Risperdal with false research to target the poor, elderly and children. The brilliance of this strategy, even though the DHHS OIG entered into a corporate integrity agreement (CIA), the District of Columbia recovered its improper payments of Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE. The total CIA was about $500 million.

Now, Utah is the first state to take the model for False Claims and transpose it. Let's watch the diffusion trendline and see how fast it takes the rest of the lazy ass Medicaid Fraud Control Units to step up and do something.

Out of all fairness, North Carolina has a Medicaid Swat team. I will put my money on Roy Cooper being the next to file. Anyone want to bet that Michigan will be the last to do anything because the Attorney General Mike Cox does not want to sully his reputation with wealthy pharmaceutical campaign contributors for his bid for the governorship, and the fact that the state administration does not have a damn clue on how to come into federal compliance with its operations in child welfare.

It does not matter that the CIA is stepping stone to tear off the iron curtain in child welfare. The only thing that matters is that it is happening and people are listing to me.

Utah Seroquel Risperdal Complaint

I wonder if the universities are going to stop pumping out false and biased research in child welfare, now.

Thank you, Mark Shurtleff, for protecting the children from the propaganda.  Thank you for joining me in rewriting the history of child welfare by ending Medicaid fraud.  You have touched my heart by saving the lives of many.

AstraZeneca Pays $520 Million in False Claims

This is a wonderful example of Medicaid fraud at its finest. The makers of Seroquel were promoting the anti-psychotic drug for "off-label" usage. Allow me to provide a working definition for "off-label".

CHILDREN

That's right, Seroquel is the darling of the child welfare industry. Seroquel is used as a chemical restraint in foster care. The drug is instantly prescribed to children who show any desire to return home or who speak out on the abuses in foster care.

Seroquel, is the favorite of residential institutions for children as it immediately qualifies a child for the higher level of placement care.

Seroquel, in all its glory, has extreme side effects ranging from tardic dyskenisia to horrifying conditions of endopresis. Seroquel will allow a child to meet the criteria for Individualized Education Programs, or as we all know as special needs.

Seroquel will cause heart attacks in 8 year old children. Seroquel will take a child lab rat to the brink of suicide.

But the miraculous beauty of Seroquel is that not one penny of the false claims was recouped in child welfare.

After all the arduous work of the Health Care Fraud Enforcement Task Force, children will continue to be pumped with anti-psychotic drugs and dumped in the money making world of foster care fraud by burying this story.

Pharmaceutical Giant AstraZeneca to Pay $520 Million for Off-label Drug Marketing

AstraZeneca LP and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP will pay $520 million to resolve allegations that AstraZeneca illegally marketed the anti-psychotic drug Seroquel for uses not approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services’ Health Care Fraud Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) announced today. Such unapproved uses are also known as "off-label" uses because they are not included in the drug’s FDA approved product label.

The Wilmington, Del.-based company signed a civil settlement to resolve allegations that by marketing Seroquel for unapproved uses, the company caused false claims for payment to be submitted to federal insurance programs including Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE programs, and to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program and the Bureau of Prisons.

Under the terms of the settlement, the federal government will receive $301,907,007 from the civil settlement, and the state Medicaid programs and the District of Columbia will share up to $218,092,993 of the civil settlement, depending on the number of states that participate in the settlement. The allegations were originally brought in a lawsuit under the qui tam or whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act and various state False Claims Act statutes...more

I can only hope that the federal portion of the settlement goes towards ending Medicaid fraud in child welfare. May is National Foster Care Propaganda Month.
