Truly evil. Some of the strongest adults I know have gone through many of the hardships described in this article. It makes me wonder if, besides fostering a dependence on the system, they're trying to suppress the chainbreakers that have come here now to help humanity in the future. It's the children that have experienced the worst of humanity that end up being the adults that can see through the lies and deception. Maybe they're drugging them to keep their brains from making the neural connections that help them see the patterns and connections that will help them take down the system when they become adults. The cabal is playing the long- game. They know things about us that we don't know about ourselves and what they know about us scares the crap out of them.

OMG, all I can say is thank you, Roger, for writing as courageously clearly as you do.

As a former school social worker and then clinic-based for a few years before going p/t private are practice) now looking back over 30* years, I have seen this exponential growth play out with broad, blind acceptance of labeling and medicating children among a huge range of people-regardless of class, race and income. We have been indoctrinated to believe that if it’s an MD who can diagnose us, we are absolved at that point of any further responsibility; we just put ourselves obediently in the hands of their “expertise” and give over the reins

Maybe, but it's very hard to prove hidden conspiratorial intent. It is true this is the effect they have.

The progenitor of the American Psychological Association is a well known eugenicist. Granville Stanley Hall. This is easy to locate information sitting in the public domain. All of his known associates were occultists and eugenicists.

Not difficult to establish. Done.

Rayne's avatar

Yes my skepticism may be overblown since I wouldn't know how you would establish conspiratorial intent for sure.

I have no words for the drugging of toddlers... I am a Specialist Health Coach helping adults come off psychiatric drugs. Those who have been drugged since adolescence lack a sense of self. This can only be magnified for those drugged since infancy.

Thank you for your reporting.

One is tempted to write, "Incredible." The problem is that it is not incredible. Some will no doubt say this post is a "conspiracy theory." Some will say that without even reading the piece. Thank you for the careful documentation, sourcing, curating, and even for the graphical visualizations of the facts. Thanks also to the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights.

Now what?

If even a portion of what is described here is accurate, and I have no reason to believe it is not, we are looking at something that should trouble the conscience of any serious society. These are not abstractions. These are the poorest children in the country. Infants and toddlers whose lives have barely begun, whose brains are still forming, whose only real crime is that they were born into instability, poverty or neglect. And the response offered to them is increasingly chemical restraint rather than human care.

This strikes directly at the heart of what we mean when we speak about the dignity of the human person. A child is not a problem to be managed. A child is a soul entrusted to the care of the adults around them. The measure of a civilisation is not how efficiently it manages disorder but how faithfully it protects the smallest and most vulnerable among us.

What horrifies me in this story is not simply the drugs themselves, serious though their risks clearly are. It is the quiet logic underneath the system. When family life is fragile, when communities are fractured, when schools are overwhelmed, the answer becomes sedation. The suffering child becomes the patient. The prescription becomes the intervention. The deeper wounds that produced the distress remain untouched. We are medicating poverty.

And the children in question are precisely those with the least protection. Poor families. Foster children. Kids already navigating chaos. Catholic social teaching speaks very clearly about this. The preferential option for the poor is not a slogan. It is a moral command. The first duty of institutions is to defend the vulnerable, not to render them more manageable.

I work in the addiction field in Glasgow, Scotland and I recognise this pattern all too well. Systems begin with noble intentions but gradually drift toward containment rather than transformation. The language remains compassionate, but the ambition shrinks. Instead of asking how a person can be restored, we ask how their symptoms can be stabilised so that the wider system runs more smoothly.

When that logic begins to shape how we treat children, something deeply disordered has entered the culture.

And if we in Britain are tempted to look across the Atlantic and reassure ourselves that this is an American problem, we should resist that temptation. It is happening here also. The same cultural forces are present here too. The same pressures on services. The same drift toward medicalising distress that is rooted in social breakdown.

Children do not primarily need chemical management. They need safety. They need stable adults. They need communities that know them and love them. They need what every child in every age has needed: attention, patience, discipline, affection and hope.

When a society begins to treat childhood suffering as a pharmacological problem first and a human problem second, it is not simply a medical failure. It is a moral one.

And frankly, if the scale described here proves even partially true, it should provoke something close to collective repentance. Because the measure of any civilisation is how it treats its children, especially the ones who cannot defend themselves.

Those children deserved better. And they still do.

OMG! I am absolutely stunned and horrified at this information. No child under the age of 5 should be prescribed anti-anxiety medications. This is another sign of people who have lost the plot on what a being a parent entails. Being a parent is hard. There are bad days and good days. And parents need to put the needs and health of the child above theirs. Children are emotional creatures because they have not developed the vocabulary to tell us what their needs are. They cry, they act out, they push buttons. They have the feelings of anxiety because they do not understand circumstances or maybe that is just a phase in their life and it can happen at anytime, 2, 6, 10, 14..And for any parent to agree to medicate them is actually in my opinion criminal. And for anyone in the system to agree to medicate young children/infants should step back and understand what they are doing. But alas, the system is becoming so strong and they have put fear into the minds and people are to afraid to push back or to lazy to educate themselves on alternative. In most situations, this will also come down to nutrition. What are we feeding these children?. Vulnerable populations, low income = high ultra processed foods consumption. These children are nutrient deficient. Not anti anxiety/depression or stimulant medication deficient.

Parents themselves are messed up and so the effect compounds

Illinoisans:

FIND OUT WHO these top prescribers are as soon as possible, and publicly censure them as human rights criminals.

God this post is infuriating and it absolutely does not surprise me that my home state of Illinois is leading the way with drugging 5 year olds with antipsychotic drugs. How any doctor can think prescribing Trazadone, Seroquel, or Xanax to a child is appropriate truly disgusts me, starting to think one of the traits medical schools look for is psychopathy.

Cassandra anonymous's avatar

Not far off. Surgeons are known to have higher than normal rates of psychopathy, now wondering about psychiatrists

Rayne's avatar

I would imagine practicing the inherently ableist, amongst other things, psychiatry would be very corrossive to your ethical core.

Lucy Beney's avatar

This is beyond shocking – I am sure similar things are happening here in the UK too. Thank you for exposing this.

Michael Duff's avatar

Horrific and yet totally understandable if you follow the mixture of unlimited funds with complete lack of accountability. Needs to be shut down ASAP!

Excellent exposure save one major category. Teachers & school administrators. They are the front line referrals to the pill mill. It is illegal in many States for them to diagnose & encourage medications for students, but that is never enforced & does nothing to stop them. I know this first hand. Parents go along with this to please the system. We need a mechanism to report these people.

Public schools are also notified when parents are receiving any type of government assistance. That needs to stop as well. They target these students, because of their perceived vulnerability. Many families are in the system on a temporary basis & don't have at risk children.

If anyone has any ability to keep their children away from these people, do so. Care for & educate your children in a direct & intentional manner. They will thank you for it. The public education system is now in the hands of the Marxist.

I heard from the news of instating mental health screenings to school children in a few states in the US from Dr. Josef's Youtube video which horrifies me to no end because it will lead to more prescriptions rather than genuine solutions.

Nina Martucci's avatar

Virginia is one state on that list.

Me's avatar

It's being done surreptitiously many places. The State of Illinois has the Gaul to state this in public now.

“Vulnerable children” is redundant. There’s not a single child in the world who’s not vulnerable. Period. There’s a great deal to be outraged about in how materially poor children are treated, but I was a middle-class child who was completely unprotected. Not a single adult advocated for me, and constantly being told, often implicitly but sometimes explicitly, that I was of course cared for and protected is deeply triggering. It’s a lie, and a truly damaging one too. I was severely emotionally and medically neglected by my parents and emotionally abused by my mother, but my affluent town was, like all other such in the U.S., a CPS desert. No American social worker will even investigate a parent who can get a private lawyer, and that left me completely unprotected. Think my having an engineer for a dad was an advantage? Think again. My parents had us 1,000 miles away from any extended family that might have helped me because he was offered a good job on the east coast. I had doctors. An advantage? Not when you have one who decides to make money off your neglected asthma instead of reporting g your parents to the state, as he should have. I take seriously the harms and disadvantages described here, but I’ve had it with the preposterous idea that only kids growing up in materially poor neighborhoods are entitled to be thought of as vulnerable. This piece could have been written without the language of that assumption but I’m not surprised it wasn’t. This is why we must start breaking one of the last American taboos: talking about how abusive and negligent middle and upper-class parents can be.

This was the only data he worked from. It is limited in scope. Your point is accurate & also needs to be exposed. I will pray for you.

2) Work with CCHR and parental rights organizations to actively DISABLE and STYMIE the “mandatory universal mental health screening” monstrosity that turns Illinois public schools into a marketing arm for psychiatry. Encourage everyone you know to OPT their kids OUT.

Me's avatar

I opted all the way out of Chicago & Illinois in its entirety. Opt in to leaving or taking direct control of your child/ren & their education.

Even several decades ago, they attempted to send some recent * graduate of some social program* to my house directly after giving birth. I laughed & told them good luck getting past my Rottweiler. JB Priztger's alter ego Jennifer is the one in need of services.

3) Understand that the study of the mind and healing of mentally caused ills must not be alienated from religion or condoned in non-religious fields.

I hesitate to say this, but I believe this behaviour towards our precious children on the part of the medical establishment may be intentional. Many of these children are coming in extremely psychically gifted with well-developed light bodies. They have a powerful role to play in the unfolding of New Earth.

Rayne's avatar

Though I agree historically we're at quite an extreme point due to everything feeling as though it's in crisis, when we're going through at a global scale, a hurricane of crises and critical problems, humans are humans, we're coming in from a similar space. What is different about the newer generations is that they're being forged in fire of this unique type, and I hope these generations can find the strength in themselves to make the serious changes necessary and put themselves together without breaking under the intense pressure.

Dyanna's avatar

Yes, thank you. We need to make sure they do. The human links directly to divinity, No computer chip or agenda will ever improve the infinite creative intelligence with which we are endowed. Btw, Gregg Braden is doing some outstanding work on this.

Tonya's avatar

How many of these kids are autistic? Psychiatric medications are used to address symptoms such as "behaviors" and "aggression" which may actually be the child's response to physical symptoms that they cannot express or sensory challenges that a damaged nervous system cannot handle.

Rayne's avatar

Not something that can be answered definitively since the lines between what we define as autism and what not are highly subjective, but it does raises questions as to how much the system is actively medically abusing children that may have different needs and abilities that parents don't know how to meet yet due to difficulties understanding those differences.

Me's avatar

Very accurate & well stated.

Daryl Poe's avatar

In some counties, parents of these children become eligible for monthly stipends. Parents will take the money and leave their children on the drugs.
