A series of public forums will be held at five different locations in Illinois on a $10 million plan, which will implement the Children's Mental Health Act of 2003. The program requires all pregnant women and children through the age of 18 years to be examined for mental health needs.

Larry Trainor, a parent of four children, and a contact for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, states that the evaluation of mental conditions is subjective and since psychiatric involvement has started, SAT scores have gone down. All parents and citizens who are outraged at this new program should attend the forums.

Laura Dawn Lewis gives a commentary on her objections to the Children's Mental Health Act of 2003. She believes that the subjective nature of the law will result in a caste system, based upon the mental health results, which will be divided up into mentally healthy and different degrees of mentally unhealthy. The law is compulsory and the results will be placed in state records, which may later affect screening for employment, college admissions, the ability to receive a driver's license and health care benefits. The law violates one's privacy. It is also unconstitutional under the Bill of Rights. It violates the right to be secure in our thoughts.
