Foster Children Being Drugged
The http://www.casaforchildren.org/site/c.mtJSJ7MPIsE/b.5301295/k.BE9A/Home.htm just posted this on Facebook. In case you missed ABC World News Tonight, here's the story on overmedication of foster youth. There is a short interview with CEO Michael Piraino in this clip. The investigation will continue tonight on World News Tonight, and a longer piece will air on 20/20. ABCNEWS.COM - Study: Govt. fails to oversee treatment of foster kids with mind-altering drugs.********************
This was all on the Facebook post by the National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association. I am a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate for children here in the Third Judicial District of Idaho. As such I see a lot of children in the governments care although I have not seen this with the ones I have worked with.
It is heart wrenching to see what many of these kids have gone through in their young lives. I will be on the lookout from now on when with my kiddos because we probably do have this happening in our area. I hope to be able to see the show tonight to see what they say on it.
If you think you might like to help in this area please contact me and I will get you in touch with our office.
