It's the same attitude that allows the anti-vaccine crowd to spread their lies and misinformation and that kills people.<BR/><BR/>If they don't get ADHD meds you are hurting them.<BR/><BR/>No, I am not advocating throwing meds at children becasue there teacher thinks they act up to much. It's a real problem that can be diagnosed. As with any such diagnoses have different qualified people evaluate the person. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my previous reply.Geekoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776860053353538300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889039900821819745.post-9400075416280759292009-02-05T11:10:00.000-08:002009-02-05T11:10:00.000-08:00Hurting and killing people by not getting kids the...Hurting and killing people by not getting kids their ADHD meds?

It was made up by Big Pharma to sell neurotoxins to children.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
