The Brave New World of Pre-Drugging Kids: Patrick McGorry & Psychosis Risk Syndrome
The Brave New World of Pre-Drugging Kids: Patrick McGorry & Psychosis Risk Syndrome

Imagine being a parent taking your 10-year-old daughter to the doctor where she gasps for air and suddenly dies in your arms. You are informed afterwards that a toxic dose of prescribed medication caused her death.
Imagine leaving your house to have lunch with friends, while your husband and 11-year-old daughter are happily cuddled together watching your daughter’s favourite TV show Animal Planet. You return home hours later, walk upstairs to her bedroom and find her hanging from the valence of her bed.
Imagine your teenage son is prescribed a medicine because a teacher said he needs it to curb his disruptive behaviour. Months later he is diagnosed with severe diabetes – a known but covered up side effect by the makers of the medicine. He dies shortly afterwards from complications.
These are not isolated incidents. They are representative of those thousands of children and adolescents who died while taking prescribed psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs in the United States. In the above cases, the drugs were prescribed to treat anxiety experienced while sitting for exams or for so-called “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD), the symptoms of which include fidgeting, losing your pencils, not sitting still, running about or excessively climbing, and butting into other’s conversations.
Australian Child Deaths
An estimated 1,900 Australians under the age of 19 have died while on antidepressants and antipsychotics. More than 30,700 under 18-year-olds were prescribed antidepressants in 2007-2008, including 550 aged 5 and under. Side effects include hallucinations, hostility, psychosis and suicide.
During the same period, more than 9,300 children under 18 – some as young as one – were prescribed antipsychotics, costing the government $3.4 million. Of the 477 deaths reported to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) linked to antipsychotics, 15 were for ages 0 to 19, including intrauterine deaths. Experts estimate only 1 percent of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are reported to the TGA, so deaths could be as high as 1,500.
Common side effects of antipsychotics include excessive weight gain, life-threatening diabetes, and an irreversible neurological effect called Tardive Dyskinesia that manifests in uncontrollable twitching of the muscles and extremities and tongue movements. Another adverse effect, Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) can cause sudden death.1 Statistics the Citizens Commission on Human Rights obtained from the TGA in 2009 revealed 14 incidents of 10 to 19 year olds experiencing NMS were reported to it.
The psychiatric drug abuse of young Australians prompted one Western Australian MP recently to call for a national inquiry into the use of psychotropic drugs in children. To date, the federal government has yet to act.
Instead, it has potentially exacerbated the situation, handing over more than one hundred million taxpayer dollars to Patrick McGorry, Professor of Youth Mental Health at the University of Melbourne, Executive Director of ORYGEN Research Centre, and founder of the youth mental health centre chain, headspace.

Day care worker cleared of misconduct allegations
Day care worker cleared of misconduct allegations
Tuesday, Jun. 15, 2010
PETERBOROUGH – A male employee of a Peterborough day care center has been cleared of allegations of sexual misconduct involving a 5-year-old boy, according to Hillsborough County Attorney Robert Walsh.
"After a complete forensic investigation, it was found there was no credible evidence to proceed," Walsh said.
Last month, a complaint was filed with police about inappropriate conduct by a Pine Hill Day Care Center employee with a 5-year-old child.
Walsh said a team of senior county prosecutors and victim/witness advocates, along with Peterborough Police Chief Scott Guinard and the state Bureau of Child Care Licensing, worked on the investigation.
Parents met with members of the county attorneys' office at a meeting last month at the time the complaint was made about the day care center, which is located on the campus of ConVal High School.
The staff member, a graduate student intern in the program, was placed on paid leave at the time of the complaint.

CPS worker accused of stealing gift cards intended for needy children

FLORESVILLE, Texas – A case worker with Child Protective Services is in hot water and facing some huge criminal charges. Stefanie Moore, 32, is accused of stealing $650 worth of donated WalMart gift cards from a supervisor’s desk drawer.
News 4 WOAI learned it was once Floresville Police detectives began looking into the case, Moore allegedly admitted to her direct manager she took the gift cards.
Each of the WalMart gift cards were donated to CPS by Karnes County Child Welfare Board. The gift cards were intended for children who needed clothing and other items. Sources told News 4 WOAI that Moore used some of the money to buy items for her own baby.
“It is uncommon and it’s something Child Protective Services does not and will not tolerate,” said CPS spokeswoman Mary Walker regarding the theft allegations.
Walker says Moore began working with the agency’s Floresville office in January 2009, and a background check was performed.
Moore now faces felony and misdemeanor theft charges. She is no longer working with Child Protective Service, since this criminal investigation.
“The actions of this particular investigator is not reflective of the actions of hundreds of men and women that are out there working on behalf of children everyday,” said Walker.
Investigators are also looking into whether Moore is behind some other reported thefts coming out of the Floresville office.
