Tranquillisers putting children’s lives at risk
The Guardian
New evidence has shown children’s lives are being put at risk by a surge in the use of controversial tranquillising drugs which are being prescribed to control their behaviour, the Guardian has learned.
The anti-psychotic drugs are being given to youngsters under the age of six even though the drugs have no licence for use in children except in certain schizophrenia cases, the report says.
The number of children on the drugs has doubled since the early 1990s as the UK begins to follow a trend started in the US, but critics say they are a “chemical cosh” that could cause premature death.
The Historian – The kids are unruly due to the unhealthy artificial cr*p we feed them. Pumping them full of drugs is not the solution….except for GSK & friends obviously
