With the recent nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as the next Secretary of the federal health behemoth, the Department of Health and Human Services, the time has come for a thorough investigation into the connection between psychiatric drugs and mass shootings.  The incoming Secretary seems open to such an investigation.

During a Turkish state-owned TRT World interview, Kennedy argued that “other causes needed to be studied, such as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), commonly used as antidepressants, and video games” in relation to mass shootings. In addition, during a conversation discussing mass shootings with Elon Musk, Kennedy mentioned that “before Prozac was introduced, we had almost none of these events.”

A recent audit conducted by the Massachusetts Office of the State Auditor reveals that the Department of Children and Families (DCF) apparently is really bad at doing its job and the fact that the well-being of children is at stake makes the incompetence incomprehensible.

The DCF is tasked with providing services to children who are at risk, victims of abuse or neglect. The services the state is responsible for providing include adoption, guardianship, foster care, housing stabilization and family support.

Specifically, AbleChild is interested in the section of the audit that reviews the oversight of the drugging of children with serious psychiatric mind-altering drugs. The audit reviewed the period from July of 2019 to December of 2023.

During the audit period, 3,899 (22%) of the 17,891 children in DCF’s protective custody were prescribed at least one psychotropic medication. During the audit period, the number of prescriptions filled for each drug category included 1,065 prescriptions for Antianxiety meds, 21,585 Antidepressants, 10,564 Antipsychotics, 10,776 Mood Stabilizers, and 48,453 Stimulants. Clearly chemical behavior modification is a common practice and the state’s DCF social workers are required to participate in, follow and document the medication history of each child under their care.

Illegal immigration into the United States is a topic second only to the economy during this Presidential election cycle and Americans appear to have little empathy for those that continue to flood over the Southern border. So, it seems predictable that the taxpayers won’t be any too happy about ensuring mental health services are made available to those who are viewed as breaking U.S. immigration laws.

A recent article, though, describes how these illegal or undocumented aliens “are at a higher risk of developing severe mental health disorders.” Apparently, this important study looked at nearly 1,000 people that had immigrated to another country and compared their mental health to that of natural citizens of the same age.
