30,000 Feet Mental Health Meltdown? Air India Crash Exposes Deadly Risk of Pilots on Psychiatric Drugs—Passengers At Risk
While Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, reassures the flying public that air travel is now so safe that there is no longer a need to remove shoes prior to boarding aircraft, the tragic June 12, 2025, Air India crash raises larger concerns for the flying public that have nothing to do with the size of liquid containers but certainly something Secretary Noem and her colleagues at the FAA and the NTSB may want to address. According to news reports about the Air India crash, investigators are focusing attention on the data being reveal through the aircraft’s black box recordings and, specifically, what the pilot had to say prior to the deadly crash. Apparently, investigators are concerned that the pilot, Sumeet Sabharwal, seconds into the flight, turned off the fuel supply to the engines, causing the Boeing Dreamliner to slam into the ground killing all but one of the 230 passengers and all 12 of the crew. Investigators now are interested in the pilot’s medical records, trying to come up with a motive. What would have caused pilot, Sabharwal, to purposefully crash the aircraft? Well, as it turns out, Sabharwal, reportedly had depression and some mental health issues, despite both flight pilots having, within the past two years, passed the Class 1 medical exam, which takes into consideration the pilot’s psychological capabilities. Nevertheless, it is certain that both fuel switches had to have been pulled upward to unlock them. This action was not by accident…it had to be deliberate. So, understanding that the fatal action was deliberate one now must consider the bigger question…how many commercial pilots, transporting millions of travelers around world, have been diagnosed with a mental disorder and are being treated with mind-altering drugs? Remember it has been ten years since the deadly 2015 Germanwings flight that was deliberately crashed into the French Alps by pilot Andrea Lubitz. Lubitz killed all 150 on board by diving the aircraft into a mountain. Investigators reportedly found a “number of medications for the treatment of psychological illness” during a search of the pilot’s home. It also was reported that Lubitz had been treated by several neurologists and psychiatrists. That was ten years ago. Fast forward to the January 29, 2025, midair collision between American Airlines passenger jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River. While investigators have not released the complete investigation or autopsy information, it has been reported that “there is no indication that Capt. Rebecca Lobach was suffering from health issues at the time or that a medical event affected her during those final moments…” That’s important information, but it does not explain whether the military captain had been diagnosed with any mental disorder or was being medicated with any mind-altering drugs. It should be of interest to the flying public that pilots, and commercial airlines, do not have to disclose which of its pilots are being medicated for a mental disorder. Nope. In fact, just trying to find specific data about how many pilots are currently taking mind-alerting drugs as treatment for a mental disorder is nearly impossible. The fact that the public is unaware of whether the pilot (or all the flight’s crew) is being treated for a mental disorder does not bode well for flight safety nor informed consent for that matter. Here’s the point. Shouldn’t a paying passenger have the right to know if the people flying the aircraft have their minds chemically altered in order to function appropriately? AbleChild recently learned that not only are commercial aircraft pilots and Air Traffic Control personnel allowed to take serious psychiatric drugs as treatment for mental disorders, but the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has expanded the number of psychiatric drugs that pilots and controllers may take and still fly the friendly skies. In a May 29, 2025, update to the Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners (AME’s), acceptable anxiety diagnoses include generalized anxiety disorder, situational anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, unspecified anxiety, postpartum depression, situational depression, situational anxiety and depression, unspecified depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and PTSD. The FAA also explains that “a pilot can have up to two listed conditions treated with any combination of psychotherapy; medication; a single metal health medication last taken, prescribed or recommended two or more years ago.” The chemical treatments the FAA allows pilots to take while flying include Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Effexor and Pristiq. Of course, AbleChild would be remis without reminding the public that neither the pharmaceutical companies that produce the drugs nor the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that approves the drugs for use, know how any of these drugs “work” in the brain to “treat” any mental disorder. And, not to belabor the point, let’s just consider for a moment the possible adverse events associated with just one of the FAA approved psychiatric drugs, Zoloft. Possible side effects associated with Zoloft (Sertraline) include aggressive reaction, confusion, drowsiness, inability to sit still, mood or behavior changes, seizures, agitation, anxiety, aggravated depression, depersonalization, mania, paranoia, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, abnormal thinking, hallucination, psychotic disorder and psychosis. If even one of these adverse events occurs during flight, this does not bode well for the safety of the flying public. It’s also of interest – even weird - that pilots are not allowed to use psychiatric drugs that “treat” ADHD. Antidepressants are fine, but don’t use ADHD drugs! Clearly, the possible adverse events associated with just one of the drugs allowed by the FAA would lead one to wonder if the federal agency is appropriately tracking drug use among pilots and drug use associated with airline accidents. The last publicly available toxicology report only covered data up to 2017. With increased use of mind-altering drugs among pilots, air traffic controllers and aircraft crew, it seems imperative that the Secretary of Homeland Security may want to work with her colleagues at the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to not only collect yearly data but make it publicly available. AbleChild recently introduced legislation that became law in Tennessee that requires toxicology tests be conducted on all perpetrators of shootings involving four or more victims and results of those data be made public. The FAA may want to consider a similar approach involving the number of pilots and air traffic controllers using psychiatric drugs to function. Afterall, there are ample data revealing air accidents that have occurred at the hands of pilots being “treated” for mental illness. If the FAA is comfortable with pilots suffering from mental disorders flying, then there should be no problem allowing the public to know how many pilots are being treated and how many air accidents are occurring at the hands of those pilots being treated. The mission of the FAA is “to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.” One might argue that allowing pilots to fly commercial aircraft while being medicated with serious psychiatric mind-altering drugs is not in the public’s best interest. However, providing the necessary crash data on a yearly basis would go a long way to reassuring the public that air travel is safe, despite the pilot’s altered mind .AbleChild is a 501(3) C nonprofit organization has recently co-written landmark legislation in Tennessee, setting a national precedent for transparency and accountability in the intersection of mental health, pharmaceutical practices, and public safety.

One Year Later, Where is The Final FBI Investigation on The Trump Assassination Attempt?
Given the recent shift in reality by the nation’s top law enforcement agencies regarding whether there is or isn’t a “client list” of the late pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, it seems completely possible that law enforcement may report that the assassination attempt on President Trump never happened. In the event there actually was an assassination attempt in Butler PA, resembling what American’s thought they saw, one can only wonder, on the one-year anniversary of the event, when the federal investigation will be released…if ever? The problem with the administration’s law enforcement is transparency. It’s been a year since the shooting and nothing, nada, zip, a big hole in a donut. Given the lack of investigative information, it appears that there are an awful lot of people hell-bent on not releasing all the information about what occurred on July 13th in Butler, PA. Why? There sure is a lot of information that needs to be made public. First, what we have gleaned from all the pathetic investigations provided by the U.S. Senate, the House Task Force, the Secret Service review and a Department of Homeland Security independent review is that the Secret Service dropped the ball. Yep. These geniuses spent time and big money to concluded what every American already knew. Congratulations. Now, what we don’t know is anything about the alleged shooter and his family. Why? The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) apparently took the lead role in the investigation, yet the last “update” provided by the FBI was last August. The American people are told that the FBI conducted extensive investigations, gaining access to the alleged shooter’s devices, searched his residence and reviewed digital media and video footage. That’s wonderful. Good job. Where’s the final report? How bout the FBI release its final report of its investigation, including the complete ballistics report, all DNA and fingerprint information, all information relating to the alleged shooter’s phone (including tracking his pings the day of the shooting) and, of course, the mysterious autopsy report of the alleged shooter that Congressional Task Force Chair, Congressman Kelly, says the American people can’t handle. Note to Congressman Kelly. The American people can handle it. In fact, the American people want the facts that so far are being withheld. In a nutshell, the American people want the truth. The FBI final report should include all the above data which should cement that Thomas Matthew Crooks was, in fact, the shooter. So far, what has been released by the Congressional Task Force does not positively identify Crooks as the shooter as none of the collected and tested projectiles have been positively identified as coming from the alleged shooter’s alleged weapon. This is no small deal. No information as to whether Crooks’s fingerprints and DNA were on the alleged weapon has been made public. There is no video showing Crooks as the person on the roof of the AGR building. Law enforcement says Crooks is the shooter, but there is no physical evidence supporting this statement. Without Crooks’s autopsy, it’s impossible to know if the body that was cremated was actually Thomas Matthew Crooks. Furthermore, why didn’t the FBI release the phone records of Crooks and his father. Afterall, the public has been told that the father tried contacting his son all day. Well, let’s see the evidence of those calls. That’s physical evidence that’s as easy as it gets. And how could his parents (both reportedly mental health experts) know that their son was acting strangely in his room but didn’t notice the bombs being made in the same room? Sound just a little strange to anyone? And let’s not forget that the Pennsylvania State Police conducted its own investigation which just happens to be classified. Why? For God’s sake! Just provide the report and let the American people decide what happened. Is Corey Comperatore’s widow allowed to see the Pennsylvania State Police report or is she being forced to sue for it? Why? Finally, any report that is released by the FBI must explain what happened to the White Van that police surrounded that evening on the outskirts of the rally grounds where explosives were found and the van was removed by police. Was there more than one alleged assassin? Who owned the van? What happened to the owner of the van? Why didn’t the owner return to the van? Where did the owner of the van get the explosives? Whose fingerprints were removed from the van? There are a zillion other questions that need to be answered about what actually happened last July 13th in Butler PA. Just release the report and the American people can figure out whether it’s a competent investigation of just more stonewalling. But it’s time. It’s time for the Trump Administration to release the FBI investigation about the assassination attempt on then candidate Trump. The American people are smart and will know if it’s a twist in reality. After the Epstein debacle, the American people have their antenna up.

Shielding the Elite: How James Comey’s Blind Eye Protected Power, Profits, and a Broken Mental Health System
When the story of the Marc Rich pardon broke, the American public was stunned—not just by the audacity of the pardon itself, but by the web of influence, money, and connections that seemed to insulate the powerful from accountability. At the center of the post-pardon investigation stood James Comey, a man who would later become a household name for his roles in other political dramas. Yet, in this case, Comey’s investigation stopped short of the most glaring conflicts: the intersection of political fundraising, government contracts, and the profit-driven world of mental health care.
Beth Dozoretz, a prominent Democratic fundraiser and close Clinton ally, played a pivotal role in the campaign for Rich’s pardon. Her husband, Psychiatrist, Dr. Ronald Dozoretz, was the founder of ValueOptions, one of the largest mental health managed care companies in America—a company that, during this period, secured billions in government contracts. The Dozoretz family’s political connections and financial interests were clear, yet Comey’s investigation focused narrowly on whether the pardon itself was “bought” with donations, ignoring the broader implications of political access and government reliance on ValueOptions.
Top Psychiatrist Says Autism Should be Diagnosed With a Pencil
While Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., brings in the best and brightest to conclude, once and for all, what caused the epic increase in Autism cases in the US, the answer may have just become very easy to discern due to the “guilt” admitted by one of the nation's leading psychiatrists. Those who long have been aware of the fraud associated with psychiatric diagnosing are not surprised to learn that the psychiatric community is behind the horrific number of Autism cases in the United States. The only thing that is surprising is how long it has taken for the fraud to be exposed.Mental Health Courts: America’s $1 Billion Revolving Door of Crime and Corruption
Mental health courts were introduced as a solution to the rising number of people diagnosed with and treated for mental illnesses in the criminal justice system. The promise was that these courts would reduce crime, save tax dollars, and offer humane alternatives to incarceration. In reality, mental health courts have become a revolving door, letting dangerous offenders back into communities, driven by subjective diagnosing and forced medication, while the behavioral health industry profits at public expense. The label of "mental illness" in these courts is highly subjective and elastic. There is no objective test for any psychiatric diagnosis; definitions shift and criteria expand based on professional opinion and institutional priorities. If committing a crime is taken as proof of an unhealthy state of mind, then where is the line drawn? Couldn't one argue all criminals are mentally ill? This logic blurs the distinction between criminality and mental illness, effectively medicalizing crime itself and undermining the justice system.The Beginning
Founded in 2001 by parents who had their own personal experiences with label and drug coercion by the education system, Ablechild has a personal commitment to inform, support, and unite others faced with all aspects involving labeling and drugging children. Ablechild has a full understanding of what a parent/caregiver goes through when dealing with school systems recommending, and many times pressuring a parent for mental health evaluations. We recognize that schools will many times force-feed mental health approaches on parents, while steering clear of science-based education resources and solutions.

Informed Consent
Knowing that informed consent is a must and a critical component in making an educated decision, Ablechild and many of its individual members have worked diligently since 2001 to provide the public with extensive information at Federal, State, and Local Governmental hearings, at educational conferences, events, Governmental meetings, and throughout national and local media circuits. We have directly advocated and worked on creating laws that would strengthen “Informed Consent” and guarantee a person’s “Right to Refuse” psychological testing and services via the education system.
Many members of this organization have advocated directly for state and federal legislation outlawing school personnel from recommending psychotropic drugs for children within schools across the nation. We can proudly say that our organization and the united efforts of its members were instrumental in the lobbying and passing of the Federal law entitled “Prohibition on Mandatory Medication Act”. This law is now part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and stands as the first of its kind, outlawing forced child drugging on a federal level.
