Psychiatry Drugs Foster Care Children - Kyle
I took my video camera to a Foster Care Alumni
meeting and asked seven foster kids to tell me
about there experiences in Child Protective
Services while wards of the state.
One thing they all had in common was massive over
drugging with psychiatric drugs.
Child placement agencies, foster parents, RTCs
(Residential Treatment Centers) and Therapeutic
Foster Homes get paid a certain amount of money
each day for taking care of a foster child. The
amount of money they get paid depends on a level
of care system. The more difficult the child or
the more problems that child has, the more money
you get.
A child at the basic level of care is worth about
17 dollars a day where as a child in the highest
level of care could be worth as much as a 1000
dollars a day. This puts the incentive on
diagnosing children with behavior problems to
justify raising their level of care. A child on
psychiatric drugs is worth more than a child
without problems.
It is not uncommon for a foster child to be placed
on many different psychotropic drugs at the same
time. Some investigations have found children on
as many as 13 mind altering drugs prescribed by a
psychiatrists at one time.
These drugs include all categories of psychiatric
drugs; antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood
stabilizers, anxiety medications, anticonvulsants
medications, etc.
The SSRI drugs are commons such as Paxil, Zoloft,
Prozac, etc. Also a number of these children
described taking Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon and
other new generation antipsychotics which have
been linked to weight gain, obesity and diabetes.

Video Info:
My son was killed in a car accident last year
because a senile, 78 year old woman ran a red
light and hit us causing us to flip into a ditch.
Kyle's seatbelt came unlatched during the roll and
he was ejected. His seatbelt was later examined by
several experts who determined it was faulty and
told me that seatbelts can and do fail, especially
in roll over accidents. I had no idea that
seatbelts could fail and think that this is
something everyone should be made aware of. The
government also needs to be more strict about
making sure the people they issue licenses to are
fit to drive...

| Authors@Google: Kyle Cassidy |

The Authors@Google program was pleased to welcome
Kyle Cassidy to Google's New York office to
discuss his book, "Armed America: Portraits of Gun
Owners in Their Homes".
Kyle Cassidy has been a freelance writer and
photographer since 1999. His photographs have been
published in the New York Times, Baaron's
Financial, and the Philadelphia Inquirer. He
writes frequently about technology and has been an
outspoken voice in the area of practical modern
photographic theory. Largely known for his fashion
and portrait photography, he became interested in
photographing gun owners during the 2004
Presidential Election.
The question of gun ownership in America is a
fractious one. Even the number of guns in the
country is in significant debate. The National
Rifle Association (NRA), the country's largest
pro-gun lobbying group, quotes the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(BATFE)'s estimate that in 1999 there were about
215,000,000 guns in America and one gun in about
half of the households in the country. The Brady
Campaign (the nation's leading anti-gun coalition)
estimates there are 192,000,000 guns in America,
owned by 39% of the population.
This isn't a book about guns. It's a book about
people.
Whether it's 39% or 50% of Americans, it's still
an awful lot of people. I started wondering just
who they were, what they looked like, and how they
lived. Such was the genesis of Armed America:
Portraits of American Gun Owners in Their Homes.
The idea was to photograph a hundred gun owners,
in their homes, and do a gallery show. I figured
this would take about two years. But very soon
after I started, it became evident that my
ambitions were too low. My mailbox flooded with
letters from people I didn't know wanting to
participate -- I realized that I could probably
photograph a hundred people in two months, but it
wasn't a number of people that was important, it
was their stories -- a cowboy in Texas, a
survivalist in Montana, a deer hunter in
Pennsylvania, a sheriff in Georgia, a soldier in
Idaho.... What I really needed, I realized, was to
get moving, to drive across the country and find
America somewhere between here and there.
This event took place on July 22, 2008.
