ADHD Drugs: Helpful or Destructive?

Are The Effects of ADHD Drugs Really Drug Side-Effects?

There is some confusion as to why stimulant drugs have a calmingeffect on children. Therefore, it was postulated that children with ADHD have some sort of deficiency that stimulants fill. This is a false notion, as the effects of ADHD drugs are the same in all people, whether they have ADHD or not. When scientists experimented on lab animals, by giving them stimulants, they observed a universal adverse response. This reaction, which we will elaborate on below, occurs in humans to the same degree.

Comment: I saw first hand what Adderal for ADHD did to my grandson, forced on him by NH DCYF. He was like a zombie and couldn't remember some of his family members. He was given an order by the visitation worker and just stood there, totally baffled at what she told him to do. It was so sad to see a once very energetic, lively little boy turned into the zombie he now was. I sure hope he is no longer taking that garbage!

DCYF Caseworkers Raise Concerns About Around-the-Clock Staffing Plan

DCYF Caseworkers Raise Concerns About Around-the-Clock Staffing Plan | New Hampshire Public Radio:
A state commission has given the green light to an interim plan that will provide around-the-clock coverage at the state Division of Children, Youth and Families.
My comment: Tsaros is right. 24/7 staffing won't make children more safe. It sure wouldn't have kept Brielle safe. The only thing that would have kept her safe was to not return her to her Mother while criminal child abuse charges were pending. What does 24/7 staffing have to do with these cases? Nothing! All you're doing is giving DCYF even more unbridled power. Our Govt. already gave them free rein to do whatever they want(as stated by a former Nashua caseworker). 

 "Five years ago, the average worker received 12 reports a month," Five years ago you didn't have all these mandated reporter's calling in frivolous and many times false report's against innocent parents.
Rep. Joseph Guthrie of Hampstead. "We all recognize that yes, it’s New Hampshire, but we do have to spend money. I’m a pretty conservative Republican but I can’t see how anybody can justify not funding this kind of an operation for children.” Don't worry Rep. Guthrie, all of the children taken by DCYF are worth their weight in gold. The Federal Govt. pay's the States plenty of incentive money for every child they take and then adopt out. Don't worry, Title IV funding will pay.

‘You Get Tired:’ What the Retiring Leader of Texas’ Foster Care System Told Us

‘You Get Tired:’ What the Retiring Leader of Texas’ Foster Care System Told Us | KUT:

It's been a turbulent year for the state's Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). First there was the December court order by a federal judge in Corpus Christi – a sweeping and scathing order condemning what she called a "broken" foster care system, declaring it in violation of the Constitution and demanding a complete overhaul with a special master to be appointed to recommend fixes.

House urged to OK changes to child protection laws

House urged to OK changes to child protection laws | New Hampshire:
CONCORD — Republican state Sen. David Boutin of Hooksett, chairman of the state's Commission on Child Abuse Fatalities, urged state representatives to follow the Senate’s lead in approving changes to the state’s child protection statutes. 

My comment just in case it's removed:First of all, what good would 24/7 coverage have done for Brielle Gage? None. DCYF and the Family Court are the ones who placed her and her siblings in danger when they returned the children to their Mother, already facing Criminal child abuse charges. She hadn't even gone to trial yet they sent the kids home. What sense did that make while other parents are cleared of Criminal child abuse charges yet never get their children back? Put the blame on where it's due.Second, the Police are more apt to spot when a child is in a bad situation and most parents will open the door to them before DCYF.Third, “It doesn’t lessen the amount of information DCYF needs to have, it doesnt change the proof they need to show; the burden doesn’t change,”. And what proof do they need to show? How about none? Has the law changed, or isn't "Preponderance of Evidence" still being used to take a child? Since when does DCYF need any proof? NH Judges rule on "Hearsay", without proof of ANY wrongdoing. And yes, it's illegal, but they get away with it anyway.State Rep. Mike Brewster was right when he asked, “Has anyone ever done an analysis on how many children are taken, how many are taken needlessly through a (court) order, and how many were really in immediate danger?” In fact, a yearly analysis would be a good idea along with the DCYF Investigation and all the cases from the past fifteen years should be analyzed. The number's of needlessly taken children from innocent parents and their families would astound you!
