We talked about psychotropic drugs use on prisoners but what about the children? As i was researching some facts about psychotropic drugs, i saw several article about children which terrified me. This is children we are talking about and the statistics they showed are quite surprising.

Foster care children are prescribed more psychotropic drugs than any others which we can see on the chart above. Something that really surprised me is that foster care where children suppose to be taken care of and be safe but instead they are getting the harsh treatment likewise prisoners on my other blog. Which could also mean that they were treated unequally and abuse them on drugs which is way of punishing them knowing the fact that they are helpless and most of them do not really need any kind of drugs.

  This numbers above tells the story and it is increasing rapidly. So not only prisoners are getting these abuse in fact children are getting them way faster which is dangerous for all the children in this situation as they grow older may have more side affect. I think this is more serious issue than prisoners because they are getting this abuse in so early in the age and they have long way to go.

Government needs to take step to stop this abuse on the children cause it sends a dangerous message for the next generations. Media on the other hand is not bringing this issue up and this needs to be addressed. This children should have bright future ahead and we should help them instead of giving them drugs and torture them.
