Youth Today:
No regulation from feds yet; just information sharing
Starting this summer, states will have to provide the federal government with details about how they control the use of psychotropic medications on youth in foster care.
The Obama administration said in a letter to state officials last week that it was concerned about the “safe, appropriate and effective use” of the drugs, which are most often prescribed to adolescents in connection with a diagnosis for mood or conduct disorders, though many child advocates believe they are frequently used as chemical restraints because of their numbing effect on kids.
Let's see if they can be truthful or if the lies just keep on coming!
