An investigation by a local news organization reveals that foster children are being dosed on powerful mind altering drugs. Physicians, psychiatrists, and even radiologists are dosing up these children on powerful psychotropic drugs to the point where some children are on as many as 17 prescriptions.

The children are quite young, too. Some are mere toddlers. Hundreds of children are under the age of seven.

This is yet another example of the abuse of prescription drugs -- especially mind-altering prescription drugs -- in the United States. Not only is our adult population being heavily dosed with mind-altering drugs like Prozac and other antidepressants, and not only are our schoolchildren being dosed with drugs like Ritalin, but now very young children -- even toddlers -- are being treated with adult strength psychotropic drugs.
