OPB T.V. Special "The Medicated Child"

Greetings. Last night there was a very interesting documentary on "Front Line" televised by OPB. The documentary was titled, "The Medicated Child." It is worthwhile to view if your child is instructed to use prescription medications to alter his/her behaviors to become more normalized. I was greatly alarmed when I heard that over 1 million children are medicated on a daily basis. Some of these children are taking up to 8 pills a day and can barely function because they are so doped up.

My personal views of the documentary is that there are too many children on prescription drugs. Children require positive role models in their lives. Too much violence on T.V. and aggression that children may follow.

If you are interested in viewing this documentary, you can go to OPB and a list of showings will come up for January 8, 2008. The episode #2605. The documentary will last 56 minutes. I will continue more on this subject matter in my next post.
