Drug The Children For Their Own Good
Mental health screening legislation will affect all Minnesota children in public, private, and home schools. Be informed. Learn what you can do, Thursday March 2, 2006.
- The Minnesota legislature is considering universal mental health screening for K-12, pre-school, all kids at least once by age three, and infants. Mental Health screening is subjective and inaccurate in children. Diagnoses very often reflect simple behavioral issues or politically incorrect attitudes and values. Powerful medications with serious side effects are almost always used as the treatment.
Backers and promoters of the Mental Health Screening includes MN State Senator Mindy Greiling, MN State Senator Steve Kelley - yes, yes, he is the same Steve Kelley that allows a War Protest Placard in his Duluth, Minnesota campaign office, and MN State Senator David Tomassoni whose Site is not functioning as I write this.
Now, take a guess...go ahead, take a WILD GUESS to which political party these three Stooges belong. Yep, you guessed right, the CommieCrat Party, known in MN as DFL'ers. Democrat-Farm-Labor. What a laugh, their party is none of those things.
Note from This page that:
Over 60% of foster children in Texas, nearly two-thirds in Massachusetts, and 55% of foster children in Florida are on as many as 16 different psychiatric drugs, starting as young as age 3.
From Edwatch:
This program is called the State Early Childhood Comprehensive System (SECCS), administered by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The paper containing the graphic is all about infant mental health, as well as the integration of mental health into early childhood programs.
The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (NFC) report was bad enough, suggesting mental health screening and intervention should begin in preschool to "ensure that children are ready for school." This UCLA document, however, demonstrates the clear presumption of government to interfere in the mental and emotional lives of citizens from birth on.
From the same link:
Although parental consent for any kind of screening and stopping coerced medication are vital, the even more immediate issue is to fight back against the presumption that any government local, state, or federal -- has the right to screen, treat, or intervene in the emotional life of any citizen, much less an innocent and vulnerable infant. Here and now, EdWatch is sounding the alarm. Will you join with us to protect the lives and minds of your babies?
Only you can stop this madness.

The irony is, I believe, that there are some children who indeed DO need medication but because so many kids are diagnosed with this and that, how on earth can we tell who really needs the help anymore?
You make ALL GOOD points. It reminds me of the 'South Park' episode where all the kids are put on Ritalin because "they run around acting like 8 yr olds" and - I think it's either Kyle or Stan who say "But I AM 8 years old!"
I don't know what the motive is to get kids hooked on all these LEGAL drugs. And if there is a need for it, I think the final determination should be made by mutual decision by the PARENTS and their FAMILY DOCTOR, not a "screening board".
Parents need to take a hard look at who their school admin's are getting into bed with before it's too late.
Thanks for writing.
