Federal Regulatory Intervention is Needed to End the Fraudulent Mental Health Crisis.

April 21, 2025

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is in the news in a big way. With the new Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, Robert Kennedy, Jr., placing great weight on science to support federal government health mandates and regulations, ADHD should be the poster child of zero science and first in need of review. 

Of interest is that in the last two weeks, both the New York Times Magazine and the DailyMail.com ran lengthy articles addressing Secretary Kennedy’s efforts to review the risks associated with psychiatric medications like antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines and methylphenidate. In both of those articles, the Scientologists were essentially receiving kudos for being the first to question the drugging of America’s children for the alleged ADHD.

Cleveland Clinic Florida Market’s Chief Medical Operations Officer Publicly Commits to MEDWATCH Awareness—A Rare Step Among U.S. Hospitals

April 19, 2025

Richard Rothman, MD, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital and Chief Medical Operations Officer for the Cleveland Clinic Florida Market, made a public commitment during a well-attended community forum in Indian River County, Vero Beach, Florida, to implement MEDWATCH posters throughout the hospital. This move represents a monumental leap for human rights a significant breakthrough in the fight for informed consent and drug safety, witnessed by local residents.

The forum provided a platform for AbleChild, a nonprofit dedicated to informed consent in mental health, to directly address Dr. Rothman. AbleChild highlighted the hospital’s lack of public drug safety awareness, despite the routine use of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and called for a clear access point for patients to report adverse events directly to the FDA through MEDWATCH.

Latest School Shooter Was Reportedly a Recipient of Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and Subjected to Psychiatric Labeling and Medication

April 18, 2025

The tragic irony in Leon County, Florida, is impossible to ignore. The Leon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) received nearly $1.5 million under the $100 million Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA)—funding meant to reduce gun violence and invest in more mental health. Yet, despite all the money, resources, and new programs, another mass shooting has occurred. This time, the alleged shooter, Elijah Ikner, was not just any community member—he was a participant in the very programs funded by the grant, a member of the LCSO Youth Advisory Council, and someone who had completed multiple sheriff’s office training programs.  However, we still await the mental health “treatment” evidence of this case that likely will never be released. It has been reported he was labeled and drugged.

The BSCA was sold to the American public as a historic step forward, pouring hundreds of millions into background checks, mental health services, and community violence interventions. The law’s supporters point to enhanced background checks, new gun trafficking statutes, and a surge in funding for mental health and school safety. But the facts on the ground in Leon County expose a glaring weakness: the system failed to prevent a young man, intimately involved with law enforcement’s youth initiatives, from turning into a killer.

Mental Health “Experts” FEAR Secretary Kennedy’s Investigation into Psychiatric Drugging

April 16, 2025

Within a few weeks of Donald Trump’s inauguration, the President signed an Executive Order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission (MAHA), which, among other things, will be “assessing the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants and weight-loss drugs.” In other words, officialdom finally is looking at the out-of-control unscientific chemical experimentation used to address unwanted behaviors.

Alert the media! Get Megyn Kelly on the phone! Finally, a governmental body will be looking into the serious risks associated with prescription mind-altering drugs. It’s decades in the making. But, as they say, “better late than never.”  It was no surprise then that within a month of that announcement the mental health industry was none too pleased and released a “joint statement” about the wonders of its mind-altering chemical elixirs.

Tennessee Passes Landmark HB 1349/SB 1146 Targeting the Behavioral Health & Big Pharma Industries’ Role in Mass Violence—AbleChild Leads National Charge for Accountability

Nashville, TN — In a historic move to address systemic failures in mental health care and public safety, Tennessee has enacted HB 1349/SB 1146, a groundbreaking law requiring autopsies of suspected mass shooters to include toxicology screenings for psychotropic drugs. The legislation, co-drafted by AbleChild—the nation’s leading nonprofit advocating for informed consent and the right to refuse psychiatric products and services—and Amy Miller, former director of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Reform Pharma initiative, marks a seismic shift in how States confront mass violence.

Chairman of Assassination Task Force Touts Mental Health Bill, While Withholding Mental Health Information About Alleged Shooter

April 9, 2025

CALL TO ACTION, CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE – KILL BILL HR 2085

Congressman Mike Kelly—the lawmaker blocking access to critical documents about the Butler assassination attempt—must not be allowed to advance a bill that ignores glaring conflicts of interest in behavioral health linked to the Butler, PA assassination attempt of President Trump.  KILL THE BILL: HR 2085

Key Connections Being Hidden:

  • Crooks’ Parents & Behavioral Health Influence: Investigative documents withheld by Kelly’s office may reveal ties between Thomas Crooks’ parents (behavioral health “experts”) and entities like Genesis HealthCare, which employed Crooks at its Bethel Park facility.
  • Genesis HealthCare’s Reach: A major behavioral health and nursing home provider, Genesis has subsidiaries spanning 19 states and investors linked to behavioral health tech firms.

Psychiatric Abuse & Experimentation with Cocktail of Psych Drugs Fueled TN Covenant School Massacre

April 6, 2025

Just believe us. Nobody but the shooter is responsible. Informed consent means nothing in Tennessee and the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department (NMPD) takes its orders from the parents of the shooter. That is what the public is left with from the final report on the March 27, 2023, Covenant Presbyterian Church and School shooting. Frankly, the two years in the making NMPD report appears to be a pathetic and insulting attempt to cover up the true reason behind the deadly attack.After reading the 48-page report on Audrey Hale’s murderous assault on the school it is impossible to believe that the NMPD was unable to obtain mental health evidence because “Hale’s parents no longer had confidence in the ability of the NMPD to safeguard this information.”  Apparently, Hale’s parents only gave up the mental health records to the NMDP on the strict condition that the NMDP keep the records confidential and never make them public. Really? Six innocent people are dead, and the parents of the killer are dictating to law enforcement what evidence will and will not be made available? How does that work? Seriously. When did the parents of killers become the arbiters of evidence?

Butler Assassination Attempt Documents Locked Down in Congressman Kelly’s Office, as Case Goes Cold on Link to ‘Crooks’

April 1, 2025

U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-16th, Chairman House task force investigating the attempted assassination of now President-elect Donald

Republican Congressman Mike Kelly who Chaired the Congressional Task Force investigating the July 13th attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, whines about law enforcement withholding important data, but he also continues to face scrutiny for withholding critical investigative documents from the public.

AbleChild contacted Congressman Kelly’s office requesting a copy of the PA State Police Report and a copy of the Allegheny County Coroner’s Autopsy on Thomas Matthew Crooks and was told to “FOIA it.” Why should any American have to FOIA reports that were obtained during a Congressional Task force investigation? In addition, there are no laws preventing their release. The documents were used to complete the investigative report. Why should Congressman Kelly have the final say in what Americans are allowed to know about the Butler assassination attempt? The American taxpayers paid for the Task force to conduct the investigation and should be entitled to see all the documents collected as part of the investigation. The Congressman’s office is well aware that any FOIA request could take months, if not years, to get a response. 

Make no mistake, Kelly’s refusal to release requested documents raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability in this high-profile case.  Unfortunately, despite the Task force’s efforts in its final 180-page report, no specific information identifying the alleged shooter and motive for the attack has been made public. Talk about waste and abuse. The Task force “investigation” produced literally no new information about who the shooter is and why the attack occurred. It didn’t even provide physical evidence to prove the alleged shooter was Thomas Crooks.

D.O.G.E. Mastermind Under the Influence of Ketamine

Ketamine in a vial, narcotics are dangerous to health or brain nervous system

Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, D.O.G.E mastermind and best friend of President Trump, recently disclosed that he is a user of the anesthetic, Ketamine, to manage symptoms of depression. One must wonder, given the possible serious side effects of the drug, if there are national security issues that need to be addressed.

Let’s consider for a moment the fact that the man the President of the United States has put the full faith and credit, on a number of delicate issues, is taking a prescribed mind-altering drug for a psychiatric disorder, which Musk believes is largely “genetic rather than a response to external challenges.” Hmmm…

This is one of the smartest guys in the room and the world’s richest man who does not know that there is zero science to support the genetics-is-responsible-for-depression claim? In fact, it is odd that a man who completely relies on science and accurate data has no idea that there is not one psychiatric disorder that is an abnormality of the brain. In other words, there is no test known to man – an MRI, CAT Scan, Blood test, or any other scientific measurement, that can detect an abnormality in the brain for any psychiatric diagnosis. Are people depressed? Sure. Is it an objective, confirmable abnormality of the brain? No.
