Psychiatry Drugs Foster Care Children - AndrewI 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.

Good for you for telling your truth. You have extraordinary intelligence and spiritual strength and I was impressed by your video. I am so sorry about the pills you were made to take. This is a crime against your humanity and I am so sorry. Continue working on yourself and ridding yourself of the lies that were told to you. Truth will set you free. Good luck, and thank-you for the inspiration that you are to all of us.

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 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.
