Children in foster care in five states are taking psychotropic drugs at a rate "two to over four times higher" than non-foster children in Medicaid according to a draft of a new government report (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-57334092-10391695/taxpayer-money-used-to-overmedicate-foster-children/)obtained by CBS News.
Data in the new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows that in the five states examined, 609 foster children and over 1,100 non-foster children were taking five or more psychotropic drugs at one time, a "high-risk practice" that lacks sufficient scientific data, according to experts consulted for the study. The report also found that over 20,000 foster and non-foster children were taking dosages that "exceeded the maximum standards published in medical literature."
Read a draft of the GAO report (http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/GAO_REPORT_DRAFT_192343.pdf)
Psychotropic drugs are used to treat mental disorders in adults and in some cases are approved for use in children. Data from five states: Oregon, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan and Texas was included in the report.
"The GAO report will hopefully spur states to strengthen their oversight and control over the effective management of psychotropic medications prescribed to youth in foster care," said Dr. Mark Olfson, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University who authored the key 2009 study on foster children and anti-psychotic use, "For foster children with psychiatric disorders, careful medication management strategies are central to improving quality of care," he said.
Almost 40 percent of children in the Massachusetts foster care system are taking at least one psychotropic drug according to the report that is raising concerns among officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In a recent letter to state Medicaid directors obtained by CBS News, the head of the U.S. Administration for Children and Families said the agency has become "increasingly concerned about the safe, appropriate and effective use of psychotropic medications among children in foster care."
The report also found almost 4,000 foster and non-foster care infants - under a year old - on Medicaid in five states were taking psychotropic drugs.
Researchers said the risks these drugs pose to children are "not well understood".
The five states in the report spent $375 million for psychotropic prescriptions for children covered by Medicaid including $59 million for children in foster care.
The GAO report will be the subject of a Senate hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill.

May have to do with kick backs to certain docs. I have heard of this scam going on in my area. Basically, the doc gets state money for visits. If the kid is under doc medication, it is a guaranteed returning pay check.
I wouldn't limit this to just foster care either.

Yea, CNN did a session about it, some of the doctors only see the kid's maybe 5 minuets max on first examination, then put them on the drugs, with no medical testing.
Sounds like a conveyor line, and no way an examination!

Scary, what is the next generation going to be? The kids being brought up drugged, Zap that is a very good question. Back in the day, kids being hyper, was part of living, and in time grow out of it! (I know ;D ) They now drug the shit out of them.

I'm not sure about foster home pay scales however in group homes for mentally disabled the higher the disability the higher the pay from the state.
These residents are used like lab rats for the pharmaceutical companies and the relationships with doctors and pharmacies is fairly cozy.

Drugged = Calm and sedated. Some nursing homes can not have grandma and grandpa causing trouble, can we?

This thread title has it right, it's a forced wealth transfer from the public to big pharma- yet another sub-racket component of the state's larger child-stealing, family-wrecking, pedophilia-normalizing, societal-destruction agenda.
These drugged up "state-care" kids will also make better (read: zombified) forced sex slaves to the political elite. From the Paedophilia thread:
I'll cross-post this here, coz the (attempt at) "normalization of pedophilia" is an NWO gambit.
Thread: Manipulation Of Your Mind by Government Agenda (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?56138-Manipulation-Of-Your-Mind-by-Government-Agenda-Brian-Gerrish)
here's the OP, check out the thread for more specific discussion,I'm still watching these Brian Gerrish videos- there's loads of them on youtube, just do a YouTube search: Brian Gerrish (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=brian+gerrish). Add "2011" to that search for the most recent, as they go back years and we know things have been moving pretty quick. The Holly Greig scandal is unfolding this year, for example... obviously marking a tip of this vast elite pedophilia reality, and the ZSM has done their part in blacking it out, but not before many J6Ps heard something about it.
This following radio interview was strong on pedophilia discussion, starting around midway through the 2nd part, and the 3rd part is completely deep pedophilia discussion, wrapping up in the 4th/last part.
Brian Gerrish Interview - March 25, 2011

p.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fxsDdbHwNs
p.4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwHo27lCL3Y
Agendas and/or inevitable outcomes from this NWO "normalization of pedophilia" campaign they discussed included,
- the growing trend of "social services" taking children from their parents, backed by decisions from closed-to-public, jury-less, "star chamber" family courts, is intended to break up families, the core of a stable society, and a known communist agenda (which also includes abolition of private property (see: [B]Agenda 21 (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?35061-Agenda-21-For-Dummies-%28incl-abolition-of-private-property%29)), & abolition of religion)
- children who end up in this state gulag are prime pedophilia victim candidates. The parents aren't allowed any further contact, they're not informed of the children's whereabouts whatsoever, whether still in "state care" or "adopted" domestically or overseas.
- children victimized by pedophiles are likely to develop "dissociative disorder" AKA multiple personalities, "mind-kontrolled", creating a future army of multiples who are easily manipulated/weaponized, whether as soldiers, spies/assassins, or ZiOwned politicians, etc.
- children victimized by pedophiles are most likely to grow into adult pedophiles- then creating an exponential multiplier effect because pedophiles need a constant stream of new, different children to victimize.
- the vast extent to which the elite, politicians, etc are already implicated by this pedophilia underworld, such that they close ranks when one of their ranks is momentarily exposed, and ensure investigations are stopped (Holly Greig), and of course the ZioStream Media blacks it out. Honest investigators & politicians who earnestly seek to help meet with glass ceilings to progress, and/or they're bullied viciously. Elite pedophiles themselves are of course blackmailed/controlled to keep them in line
- The occasional ZSM stories about "a pedophile ring has been busted" are complete rubbish, "earnest law enforcement" PR for the peasants, as it's the "elite" criminals in society who maintain any such "rings".
* I don't think I've heard zionism, dajooz etc mentioned specifically in any of Gerrish's talks, though the NWO is tossed around.

children who think are children who question authority - children who can learn that signing up for the US military doesn't mean they're 'serving their country'.
can't have children - or citizens - thinking !
+ doping them up is a profit center for Talmud-worshippers.
it's a two-fer.

Agreed 100 % ! Fluoride in the water is where it starts with (besides the vax at birth).
They want everybody drugged, they want every person (us useless eaters & disgusting public as they call us) on meds to keep us dumb & quiet & stupid
& to follow as you are told to do & to shut up & not ask questions.

A study conducted by scientists in India demonstrates that consumption of sodium fluoride results in brain and neurological damage. It was published by K. Pratap Reddy of the University College of Sciences at Osmania University in Hyderabad, India, on January 10, 2011.
http://static.infowars.com/2010/12/i/article-images/tapwater.png
The study was performed on rats for a period of 60 days. Fluoride resulted in neurodegenerative changes and morphological alterations were observed in the neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum areas of the brain and also the spinal cord and sciatic nerve.
In 1995, Dr. (http://www.fluoridation.com/brain.htm)Phyllis Mullenix (http://www.fluoridation.com/brain.htm) and her colleagues found that fluoride studies in rats “can be indicative of a potential for motor dysfunction, IQ deficits and/or learning disabilities in humans.”
“High levels of fluoride in drinking water (1-12ppm) affect central nervous system directly without first causing the physical deformities of skeletal fluorosis.” Reddy writes in the Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences. Damage to the hippocampus often results in hyperactivity and cognitive deficits.
Numerous studies (http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/brain/#human) conducted in China, India, Iran, and Mexico have determined that fluoride exposure is associated with IQ deficits in children.
The correlation between fluoride exposure and diminished IQ was underscored earlier this year after the results of a study in China were published. “A recent Chinese study concluded that low dose sodium fluoride in drinking water diminishes IQ, especially among children. This is the twenty-fourth such international study with the same conclusion. Sodium fluoride has also been linked to reduced fertility and lower sperm counts,” Paul Fassa (http://www.naturalnews.com/032129_fluoridation_intelligence.html) wrote for Natural News in April.
In addition to the Chinese study, and 23 other IQ studies, there have been over 100 animal studies linking fluoride to brain damage, according to the Fluoride Action Network. The Indian study is the most recent.
The Chinese study “should be the study that finally ends water fluoridation. Millions of American children are being exposed unnecessarily to this neurotoxin on a daily basis. Who in their right minds would risk lowering their child’s intelligence in order to reduce a small amount of tooth decay, for which the evidence is very weak,” explains Tara Blank (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fluoride-in-water-linked-to-lower-iq-in-children-112261459.html), Ph.D., the Science and Health Officer for the Fluoride Action Network.
The Indian study is available as a PDF here (http://static.infowars.com/2011/12/i/general/2011_study-neurodegenerative_changes_from_fluoride_of_brain_s pinal_cord_and_sciatic_nerve.pdf). It is an invaluable asset for activists attempting to get rid of the deadly neurotoxin sodium fluoride from our drinking water and food products.

Neurologic damage is only a small portion of the damage that the tap water causes.
The physical manifestations of the tap water that are making people sick everyday are disturbing as well.
Kidney stones, arthritis, skin problems.....i could go on all day. Get a copy of any municipal authority annual contaminant report
and it will tell you point blank that they cannot control everything that is in the water supply & that the government allows such.
