A touching article in the Las Vegas Sun follows one child from abandonment through foster placements, polypharmacy, suicidality, delinquency and homelessness to stability off medication and with close support. The article weaves this story together with recent efforts to curb the use of medications in foster care.
Reading this, I realize that I ought to get off my butt and make something like this happen in California. Otherwise why do I have a law license, if I can’t protect these kids from what was done to me?
