I upvoted and resteemed!
I think you address some very important topics here that I would like to see with more statistical information to back it up. This writing would be more strong if we knew the percentage of children in child protective services that are actually medicated, and also the amount of children that weren't medicated when they first came in and are now medicated.
I do absolutely agree that medication is used to control our children in the child protective system. As a case manager for several years, it was definitely a hard decision that was put in the trust of psychiatrists that were contracted through the state.
This topic needs more light for sure. Thank you.
