Parent's get a disability check if their child is diagnosed with a psychological disorder?

 

Now THAT's a good question.

Parent's get a disability check if their child is diagnosed with a psychological disorder?

 

Yes they do, and they get more money per disability. Some of the worse parents also make money by selling their kid's prescriptions.

Can we just all agree that way to many kids are prescribed these types of drugs? Can we at least do that on here? Scary stuff.

I do think too many children are medicated too soon. Not so sure that WAY too many are. I know adults my age who would tell you that they probably had ADD when they were kids, and might have done better if they had taken meds.

 

The problem that I have with this thread is the first post which suggests that people who take meds then went on to commit terrible crimes. That, to me is not a fair conclusion.

I have said since way before I saw this post that these shootings and other events like them was a mental health issue not a firearms issue.

 

Here are my questions. With a handful of shootings being perpetrated by individuals with "AR type" firearms everyone is up in arms that they need to be banned, outlawed or confiscated right away. There is another more common link to all of these behaviors listed above, psychotropic drugs. Why are the companies that make these being called on the carpet to testify about their effects? Why isn't possible misuse being questioned and new laws being proposed to prevent future tragedies?
