New Study Shows U.S. Government Fails to Oversee Treatment of Foster Children With Mind-Altering Drugs

New Study Shows U.S. Government Fails to Oversee Treatment of Foster Children With Mind-Altering Drugs

ABC News was given exclusive access to the GAO report, which capped off a nationwide yearlong investigation by ABC News on the overuse of the most powerful mind-altering drugs on many of the country's nearly 425,000 foster children.

The GAO's report, based on a two-year-long investigation, looked at five states -- Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon and Texas. Thousands of foster children were being prescribed psychiatric medications at doses higher than the maximum levels approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in these five states alone. And despite absolutely no evidence supporting the simultaneous use or safety of this number of psychiatric drugs taken together.

TONY DIGIROLAMO- "hundreds of foster children received five or more psychiatric drugs at the same time..."

How do we continue in this horrific "Pscience" on these kids? Five antidepressant and psychotropic drugs.

These kids are the future homicidal and suicidal statistics.
