The drugging of boys...
I wish this piece from the Daily Mail in the UK would note that it's mostly boys who are drugged....
Thousands of children with behavioural problems are being prescribed anti-psychotic drugs with dangerous side effects, doctors warn.
The powerful tranquillisers, designed to treat psychosis and schizophrenia in adults, are being used to calm children who are simply hyperactive.
Around 8,000 youngsters are taking anti- psychotics such as Risperdal and Zyprexa despite the fact that these have been linked to a host of health problems from diabetes to brain damage, BBC1's Panorama reports.
Although some are prescribed for schizophrenia and related conditions, many are given to children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other behavioural problems.
Dr Tim Kendall, of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said he knew of children as young as ten being given the schizophrenia drugs for unruly behaviour, sometimes for as long as five years.

Ritalin isalso given much more tp boys. This is all part of the war against boys and men
Behaviour that would have been called precocious decades ago and dealt with via discipline now requires doped up youth so that communist teachers don't have to work so hard.
actually children as young as 2 are being given these drugs, and most of them are going to little boys for adhd-ish behavior. my own site, furiousseasons.com, has been covering the issue and others in the mh world.
