2/3 Foster kids TX on psychotropics. One on 17
Video clip, too.
Subject: 2/3 Fosters TX on psychotropic *chemical restraints* One on 17 From: (Fern5827) Date: 11/12/2004 10:38 AM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: At least one which a TX DFPS employee disclosed. Wonder how many more are placed on these *chemical restraints*, most of which are not approved for use by the FDA for children under 12. Subject: 2/3 Foster kids TX on psychotropics; one 17 different meds From: (Fern5827) Date: 11/12/2004 10:31 AM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: Note that the prescribing physician has issues with illegal drugs, too. http://www.woai.com/troubleshooters/...8321B6-DF50-4A 2F-83D1-1789D8F2A18A At the risk of losing her job, a Child Protective Services worker spoke to the Trouble Shooters following a hearing by State Rep. Carlos Uresti last month. She talked about one child on seventeen different medications. That's right. Seventeen! "I think he had three to four psychotropic medications in addition to the Depakote, in addition to Zoloft, in addition to Trazadone to help him sleep." Some of these drugs the FDA states are not even safe for kids. "He did need medications," she continues, "But I had concerns about how could this child require seventeen different medications."
