I earned my living counseling, consoling, being kicked,
spit at, and listening to people defaming my mother whom
they had never met. If you think that I was paid based on
dispensing “drugs to kids” then you are, indeed, an idiot.

I trust that you have also worked in child mental
health and have had experience with direct supervision
of from one to ten severely emotionally disturbed teen
boys at one time. If you haven’t then you can only
make a foolish ass of yourself by arguing with
someone who has been there, done that. Or maybe you
can tell we your profession so I can tell you about
your job.

Psychotropic drugs are not the answer to every problem.
I’ve seen kids taking meds to little or no effect.
Maybe it is because the dosage or particular med is
wrong but I can tell you one thing; you have encountered
adults who depend and have depended on psychotropic
medication to function in public. We all have met
those people, we just don’t know it. Let me leave you
with this. Maybe every mass shooter has taken
psych meds. All that reveals is that mental health
issues were diagnosed previously. The meds are
tools that may or may not work as desired. But
there is sure as hell little to no evidence which
generally links meds to murders unless the perp
has decided to stop taking his prescription.
