The purpose of this website is to educate parents worldwide on the facts
about today's widespread practice of labeling children mentally ill and
drugging them with heavy, mind-altering, psychiatric drugs. Armed in this way,
loving parents will be able to prevail in the face of the enormous "drug
children now" pressures so entrenched in society today. Protected in this way,
our children will be spared the totally unnecessary misery of a drug-hazed
youth, succeeded by the risk of a drug-consumed adulthood.

Dear Parent,
There are very few families or teachers whose lives have not been interrupted
in some way by today's widespread practice of drugging of children with heavy,
mind-altering, psychiatric drugs; in the U.S. alone, nearly six million
children are taking these drugs for supposed educational and behavioral
problems.
What are these children "suffering" from? What is this new danger? What do
mind-altering drugs have to do with learning? What do these drugs do? How
long do they need to be taken? Are they absolutely necessary? Are they safe?
Is there some other solution? From the beginning, such reasonable questions
have been repeatedly asked by concerned and loving parents.
However, the huge sales, public relations and propaganda push behind this
practice have been enough to deceive and overwhelm the cautionary instincts of
millions of parents and teachers. As a result, they now "believe" their
children face a serious threat that requires prolonged and extensive drugging.
All too often, the heavy child drugging started after a psychiatrist or
psychologist diagnosed that a child suffers from a disorder affecting his/her
ability to learn—commonly termed a Learning Disorder (LD), also Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD), and most commonly today, Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A chemical imbalance of the brain or brain
disease may have been blamed, but certainly the parents were told that the
cause is a well-recognized, medical problem demanding continuous, prescribed,
psychiatric medication.
Trusting their advisors and wanting only the best for their child, the parents
concluded that psychiatric drugs were the best available "solution" and
consented to the treatment.
Sadly today, more and more of these parents profoundly regret this decision,
having discovered not only that the original diagnosis was completely
fabricated, unsubstantiated and thereby fraudulent, but also that the treatment
was potentially life-threatening and debilitating.
It takes courage to speak up when all one hears from psychiatrists,
psychologists and other experts, especially those affiliated with schools, is
that drugging children is a proven and perfectly safe method of handling
fancied learning and behavioral difficulties, that the parents would be
irresponsible in not drugging their child and that the expert "medical" opinion
is based on irrefutable science. In fact, it can sometimes feel like fighting a
solitary war against impossible odds.
Nevertheless, the worst thing that parents can do is to ignore their instincts
in the matter and give in to the weight of false mental health industry
propaganda, whether to keep the peace, avoid a fight, toe the school line or
stay out of the limelight. Millions of parents have done this and millions of
children now suffer. Parents have every right to be parents. Parents must be
parents. Parents must fight back in this very real Fight For Kids!
