Children and Families
Children typically are raised within their family setting. This has been true for centuries yet it is changing without notice.
Upon analysis of all the mental health programs, within the state of Florida, and some outside of Florida, a pattern of intervention between children and their family, by government agencies and programs, becomes all too apparent.
There are the rare occasions when parents are unable to care properly for their children and the state does intervene on the behalf of the child.
Except for these rare cases there are numerous catch-all programs that are designed to intervene between the parent and child from an early age and on an almost unnoticeable gradient; programs that separate children and families. Unnoticeable, until it is too late.
Each county within Florida, has what is referred to as Community Based Care. Along with this comes intervention programs and in real-life terms, that means that the agency, acting on behalf of the government, will address your child as a mental health or behavioral health problem that they intend to “solve”. The tools that are used are based upon subjective mental health and behavioral health screenings or questionnaires that are not based upon any medically sound or evidenced based tests. These are questionnaires that ask questions such as:
Does your child:
Refuse to obey …………………………………………………………. Yes/No
Refuse to play with others …………………………………………… Yes/No
Does your child have problems at school with:
Behavior ………………………………………………………………… Yes/No
Grades ………………………………………………………………….. Yes/No
Not wanting to go to school ……………………………………………. Yes/No
If your child is deemed “at-risk” then you will have welcomed the mental health community into your home for the rest of your child’s young years and perhaps for their adult years, as well.
This particular type of assessment can begin as early as 0-5 years old.
For a family, with a child or children who are possibly not advancing in school at the rate that is expected, or for a family whose child or children are exhibiting unwanted behavior, or perhaps, even mental health symptoms, it is just and right to inform these parents that they have the right to full information about the mental health questionnaires, about the proposed treatment and about the risks of that proposed treatment. Most importantly it is the parents’ and the child’s right to be fully informed about the alternative treatments available.
All too often, families and children are not informed about the facts. Below, are four facts that are vital for every individual to be aware of.
1. There are no medical tests that can be performed to evidence one single psychiatric disorder. No Brain Scan, no blood test, no chemical imbalance test.
2. Of the 170 panel members who wrote psychiatry’s bible,The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, “95 (56%) had one or more financial associations with companies in the pharmaceutical industry. One hundred percent of the members of the panels on ‘Mood Disorders’ and ‘Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders’ had financial ties to drug companies.”
3. The FDA listed side effects on psychiatric drugs which include, mania, psychosis, depression, suicidal thoughts and death.
4. There are medical doctors throughout the world who can do medical tests to detect any potential underlying physical cause of unwanted mental health and behavioral health symptoms.
For more information on these facts, contact CCHR Florida’s hotline 800-782-2878.
Families deserve the right to non-intervention, as they have had for centuries on end, the right to raise their own children.
