U.S. Government Fails to Oversee Treatment of Foster Children With Mind-Altering Drugs
By DR. MARK ABDELMALEK, BRINDA ADHIKARI, SARAH KOCH, JOSEPH DIAZ and CLAIRE WEINRAUB
Nov. 30, 2011
The federal government has not done enough to oversee the treatment of America’s foster children with powerful mind-altering drugs, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to be released Thursday.
ABC News was given exclusive access to the GAO report, which capped off a nationwide yearlong investigation by ABC News on the overuse of the most powerful mind-altering drugs on many of the country’s nearly 425,000 foster children.

They do the same thing to anyone they can, most of the people who can afford these psychotropics are adults, or children on medicaid most of which aren't in foster care.
They give anti-psychotic/psychotropics to ANYONE they can... And they push the high dollar name brand drugs.
Don't let yourself have a very eventful experience on mind-altering illicit drugs, it would take one person saying they were afraid of you (any number of things really), off for an involuntary hold and psych eval.... If they think they can get away with it, you're immediately diagnosed with something (before you sober up), because of course "You're in a drug induced psychosis" & "It's most likely permanent.".... "Medication is the only answer."
What makes it so bad, the Dr.(s) will have you brain-washed into believing you have to take those drugs (they don't want to admit you have an option), that if you don't you might have an "episode" and they can have your family so wrapped up in their propaganda, that you have family members virtually forcing them down your throat.... And if you act up and refuse, yes for a few days it will take some adjusting, you will be irritable, and whomever in your life is likely to see that as a sign you're "having an episode" and have you involuntarily held, until "your meds can be straitened out"....
(Knew this one guy, fought a few years with some overbearing psychotic family member and a few doctors that had their thumb on him... Every time he'd quit whichever cocktail the Dr.s had him on he'd get inevitably angry that a large portion of his life had already been stolen from him, probably go off a little on the idiot pushing psych-drugs on him for the Dr.s, and of course back for an eval and "medication adjustment/straightening", he finally did get away from it, after about 6 years..... Damage done... Hey but I'm not bitter....)
Sadly I've known a few people to end up down that road, oddly enough when they came off the psychotropics they were remarkably sane...

This is one of the worse crimes our society has committed to your most innocent population. I want the doctors that proscribe these drugs to take the same amount they give to these children (compensate for height and weight). See how they like it. If you guess I am angry concerning this, you but I am!!! These doctors should be in JAIL, doing 20 years to life.

This could damage their young minds, this could affect their liver, kidneys, heart and cells making zombie of children, so many children has been abuse, this is another type of abuse. Children shouldn't be on that many drugs. What's going on? Is it all about money? Take care of the children, there are the future.
