The antipsychotic Seroquel is mentioned in this story. In 2007 it was
used on 3,418 foster kids in Texas - cost $6.5 million. Seroquel is
not FDA approved for anything whatsoever on chidren. State
legislators across the country largely remain unaware that their
financially burdened Medicaid programs are funding this type of drug
experimentation. This is costing states millions upon millions. How
much is your state spending on antipsychotic drugging of children?
It is a public record.
See videos of a whole bunch of foster kids speaking out on their
drugging here:
