Study Shows Foster Children Have High Rates of Prescription of Psychiatric Medications
Study Shows Foster Children Have High Rates of Prescription of Psychiatric Medications - ABC News:
The federal government has not done enough to oversee the treatment of America's foster children with powerful mind-altering drugs, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to be released Thursday.
ABC News was given exclusive access to the GAO report, which capped off a nationwide yearlong investigation by ABC News on the overuse of the most powerful mind-altering drugs on many of the country's nearly 425,000 foster children.

Administration Concerned About Psych Meds and Foster Youths
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!

An advocate’s job is to keep a watchful eye over children in foster care who run a risk of being in an abusive situation. As of now, if they do uncover that a child is being abused, they do not have to report the situation.
How can advocate's report suspected abuse of children in Foster care, when they work right alongside CPS? Foster stranger's are hand picked by CPS. The "Chosen", who can do no wrong. The advocates side with CPS and their "Chosen". Parent's don't stand a chance. What a joke!
