Has it occurred to you that many of the children in question are happy being medicated, as are many adults? In any case, who are you to tell other people what's good for them?

Whether or not the medication works for some (or all) people, whether or not it ruins or improves their lives, etc. etc, is not really the issue. A problem is in giving children medication when they lack the legal freedom (and possibly emotional or mental maturity) to make their own decisions to take it or not. Rob --- No-frills sig.
