Teen Screen Infiltrates Our Schools Fishing For Young Psychiatric Patients

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

This shocking article exposes “Teen Screen”, a new government psychiatric program designed to screen children for psychiatric disorders.

Apparently, in many cases with no parental consent, kids as young as nine years old are tricked into a suicide screening test by being bribed with movie tickets if they perform the test. After being asked a series of nonsensical questions it is determined if they have some type of psychiatric disorder. Which disorder will they be labeled with? Well, take your pick: Depression? Social Phobia? Panic Disorder? Anxiety? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Active Suicide Ideation? Passive Suicide Ideation? Your guess is as good as mine.

Children Forced To Use Psychiatric Drugs By Their Schools

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

Hopefully this horrible practice of schools intimidating and forcing parents to drug their children will end soon. Often parents are coerced to put their kids on drugs like prozac and ritalin.

This article on a parent who had to fight hard against her child’s school just to keep her kid of Ritalin is an all too common example.
