August 8, 2002 -- The mother of a boy whose school forced him to take prescription drugs that made him psychotic is calling for a tracking system to determine how common the problem is statewide.
Nobody really knows how many schoolchildren are taking psychiatric medication because state and city education boards don't keep such statistics.

By the third grade, Michael was complaining that a cocktail of drugs including Ritalin gave him insomnia, anxiety attacks and eventually psychosis.
Beginning third grader and whiz kid in pediatric psychiatry says, "Mommy, Mommy! I'm becoming psychotic as a result of this drug cocktail!"

Another expert, Dr. Walter Malofsky of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, disagreed with Weathers' idea, saying children are protected from unnecessary medication because "a kid can't go on Ritalin without a doctor's assessment" that has to be renewed every month.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Did this guy just graduate from medical school or what!

According to a story posted yesterday the boy was having auditory halucinations, as in "mommy I hear voices in my head and they tell me to do bad things".

Kat,
Did you read the other day that studies on Long Island have shown that their is no link between LI high breast cancer rate and pesticides?
Or that releasing of balloons in Suffolk is no longer permitted? ( may harm wildlife)
That was studied yet this issue is ignored.
I am really hopeful that this child-drug epidemic gets major coverage. Parents need to wake up!!

It seems that "they" dope up the kids who have active minds because it is so much easier for the thought-control to succeed if the kid is drugged. They don't want kids who question what they are told; they want little sheeple. In 1979, Pink Floyd wrote: "we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom." Were they prescient or just maybe on *different* drugs...?
