Lawsuit says too many psychiatric drugs killed boy

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami-dade/story/1056520.html

This yet another story of these psychiatric drugs being over prescribed
In group homes or to kids in the welfare system.

Isabelle look at what drugs or as I call them legalized dope this boy was on.
I am sure you will recognize them as the dope your son was given.
Unfortunately this child did not make it to adulthood. You are right this crap needs to be banned

And the psychiatrists that treat kids with this definitely should be monitoring
Instead they take expensive vacations are treated to meals at plush restaurants
And given monies for lectures on the promotion of these meds. These meds aren’t going to
Cure anything and who knows what damage will result in long term use of them.

On another thread placed by Roadrunner he was horrified at the drug that can cause
Sterilization as a side effect. Parents are so desperate when it comes to dealing with
The aggressiveness in their children they take the chance any chance even if it means
Sterilization to not being able to control their children.

The mainstream medical professionals need to start emphasizing the serious consequences
Of these psychotic meds, as they have about that sterilization drug.

yes, mrsj, i recognize those drugs: zyprexa, clonazepam (al drugs ending on pam are benzodiazepines) and depakene or depakote or epival, valproic acid, variations on its name...still an anticonvulsant. all and each one have a sedative effect on the CNS....i know seroquel is atypical antipsychotic like zyprexa. the accumulative effect can kill....before killing the child or suceptible person kept on these drugs or on one drug alone or in combination might feel/cause agitation (akathisia) from there unexpected aggressivenes, extraordinary strength, mania, psychosis, tachicardia....not to mention self-injury behaviour (SIB)....each child has a different reaction. these drugs are neurotoxic and most children with autistic behaviours suffer from immature immune system, immature CNS, metabolic problems, liver problemas, mitochondria, etc....yes, i believe these drugs should be banned in the "treatment" of the non-verbal autistic....should be banned from society... that would ideal!!!!

oh, wow! :eek: i heard about using a sterilization drug to control aggressive/violent behaviour in the autistic.....apparently haven't work or we will read in big letters in all papers and you would hear the sound of thousands of parents rushing to get their autistic children sterilized....:(
i read the abuse of thousands of irish children (nt kids) in homes run by priests and nuns from the 1930s to the 1990s and now some of those children in their 50s and 80s are suing the catholic church but these religious orders successfully sued to keep the names of the abusers secret....with the non-verbal autistic the abusers will go free...unless the autistic drop dead....then you have to see the abusers' lawyers scrambling to blame the victim and their parents.....of course they'd cover their abuse by saying the child/autistic was violent and tended to hurt himself SIB...was diagnosed with psychosis, bipolar, anxiety, whatever .... ultimate abuse!!! :( :mad:

I am not saying this story is not bad, but what are the ethics on Martha Quesada collecting any money here:
Should this person and her attorney be able to collect a reward of money for this, she did not have him in her care... she gave him up to a group home.

Personally I would say a big YES. A parent should be able to trust that the place her child goes to will treat him in his best interests. They will do for him what you could not and wanted to. They will understand and provide for his needs, mentally spiritually and physically. When she let him go there, she was saying she could not do that, when they took him in they were saying they could.

Point taken, thanks.

that was the group home intention to give us the impression that they knew what they were doing, far better we could at home....
fat liars!!!! :mad:

I would be devastated if this happened to my baby. I will keep him with us for as long as possible, but I fear group home living IS in his future. If they killed him you bet your bottom dollar I'd sue and want compensation for destroying my dreams and murdering my innnocent child. You know? :( Thanks for posting this mrsjerome. We need to stay alert and monitor the news for stories like this to get a gauge on the frequency of it happening. :(
