MICHIGAN’S PRESCRIPTION FOR FOSTER KIDS: DRUGS

MICHIGAN’S PRESCRIPTION FOR FOSTER KIDS: DRUGS


Taxpayers have spent more than $70 million in a single year in Michigan on psychotropic drugs for foster kids and other children on Medicaid. And, nearly a quarter of Michigan foster kids were on psychotropic drugs to counteract behavioral problems and diagnosed mental illness in 2008, according to a recent government report.

  2. It makes perfect sense. There are people making money off of these kids. This is just one way.

  3. And when children are diagnosed as "special needs" in foster care, there is MORE money paid to foster parents and more money reimbursed to states by the federal government. PLUS the kids are drugged into submission. It's child abuse - forced while parents remain helpless to stop it - by the agency that claims to be protecting our children.
