Court case is being streamed by CourtTV. I haven't watched the whole thing - but I have come away with this:

We are giving kids WAY too much medication. Giving it out like candy.

Not diminishing what she did, but it's crazy how many meds this girl was on. Honor student/30 ACT by 14 years old. This psych on the stand right now that saw her one time put her on a cocktail of drugs.

Parents are too quick to drug their children. It’s lazy parenting, trying to take the easy path to raising kids

It's a business, if you find a doctor who tries to get you off of medications you've found a good one. Finding one is like trying to find Bigfoot though, sightings are rare.

Between the TV/Internet/Social Media, government schools & the therapist, parents have outsourced almost 100% of the rearing of children.

Gotta admit, Mom drugged us as kids with Benadryl at 8:30 every night if we looked like we might resist the 9 0'clock bedtime routine.

(It was a pink liquid back then and tasted gawd-awful! We learned to chase shots with chocolate milk by the age of five.)

If I was in grade school today they would have me and all the friends I ran with on some type of prescription drugs for what today is considered "hyperactivity", back then the school teachers and principals just told our parents we were a bit onery.

No she didn't. Put her on Zoloft. Didn't work. Cut it to 5 mg a day for ten days to wean her off it while she gave her a starter dose of Lexapro

We're rearing generations of sociopaths and neurotic urchins. It's scary what my wife sees as a teacher, both from the administrative level and in her students. Even Millennials and older Gen-Z have a major leg up on Gen-Alpha. Talking to kids nowadays is like communicating with autistic zombie blobs.

I can second this. They are heavily medicating kids at a young age. Often, the doctors dont bother with looking at side effects or cross drug effects. They are just perscribing to reported "symptoms."

Ive had kids over the years taking 4-5 meds in the am to jack them up but keep them calm and needing 4-5 at night to knock them back out. Its terrible.
