Dr. J. Whitaker
M.D. - "Ritalin: Legally Sanctioned "Speed" Ritalin is
the number one prescription drug for children with attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). This drug has such tremendous potential for abuse that
it is classified as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Ritalin is an amphetamine (in street jargon, "speed") with a lengthy list
of side effects, including nervousness, insomnia, nausea, abdominal pain,
loss of appetite, dizziness, palpitations, headaches, irregular heart rhythms,
and psychic dependence — in short, addiction. In fact, Ritalin's
appeal to drug users and its potential for abuse are so high that US House
Judiciary Chair Henry Hyde (R-IL) recently filed a request with the General
Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct an investigation of Ritalin abuse in
public schools. In addition, class action lawsuits have been filed in Texas,
California and New Jersey charging Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis,
maker of Ritalin, with conspiracy to create the psychiatric disorder known
as ADHD in order to fuel the market for their product."
Julian Whitaker, M.D., believes
there is a direct link between the violent shootings
and the increased and indiscriminate use of popular antidepressant drugs.
Dr. Whitaker points out that many of the gun-related massacres that have
made the headlines over the past decade have a common thread: they were
perpetrated by people taking Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, or a related
drug. A documented side effect of these drugs -- known clinically as selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) -- is akathisia, or physical and
mental agitation. Dr. Whitaker says "akathisia is to violence what a match
is to gasoline. And this condition has been reported in a significant number
of Prozac users." Moreover, the Food and Drug Administration has received
over 40,000 reports detailing adverse effects related to Prozac. The
Scourge of Prozac by Dr. Julian Whitaker MD
Dr
Peter Breggin,M.D the eminent psychiatrist and author (Toxic

plans to destroy large numbers of other people. Mania can go over the hill
to psychosis." more

On
the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your
Health Jerome P. Kassirer MD
Some physicians become known as whores." This is strong language in
Kassirer's mostly temperate but tough look at how big business is corrupting
medicine—but according to Kassirer, one doctor's wife used the word "whore"
to describe her husband's accepting high fees to promote medical products.
Such personal anecdotes distinguish Kassirer's look at the conversion of
America's health-care system into a commercial enterprise. Kassirer, former
editor-in-chief of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, notes
the range of conflicts of interest between profit-centered business and
people-centered medicine, such as the drug industry's huge expenditures
(in the billions) for courting doctors to use their products, for recruiting
physicians to tout their drugs or, more slyly, to present seemingly objective
medical discussions that, on closer examination, do favor the company's
product over others. Kassirer also covers the abuses of both fee-for-service
(which can lead doctors to perform unnecessary but lucrative tests and
procedures) and HMOs (which reward doctors for keeping costs down).

GUINEA-PIG KIDS - SHOCKING NEW NUMBER IN HIV TESTS
By Douglas Montero
February 29, 2004 -- The state Health Department has launched a probe
into potentially dangerous drug research conducted on HIV-infected infants
and children at a Manhattan foster-care agency, The Post has learned. Some
50 foster kids were used as "guinea pigs" in 13 experiments with high doses
of AIDS medications at Manhattan's Incarnation Children's Center, sources
said.
Most
of the ICC experiments were funded by federal grants and in some cases,
pharmaceutical companies. They used city foster children, who were sent
to the Catholic Archdiocese-run facility by the Administration for Children's
Services. ICC was involved in 36 different experiments, according to the
National Institutes of Health Web site. One study researched "HIV Wasting
Syndrome," which studied how a child's body changes when his medication
is altered. A handful of the experiments involved combining up to six AIDS
drugs - so-called "cocktails" - in children as young as 3 months, and another
explores the reaction of not one, but two doses of the measles vaccine
in kids ages 6 to 7 months.
Other studies tested the "safety," "tolerance" and "toxicity" of AIDS
drugs. "They are torturing these kids, and it is nothing short of murder,"
said Michael Ellner, a minister and president of Health Education AIDS
Liaison, an advocacy group for HIV parents. Biochemist Dr. David Rasnick,
a visiting scholar at the University of California at Berkeley and an expert
in AIDS medication, was outraged because the drugs, alone or combined,
have "acute toxicity which could be fatal." He said the drugs' side
effects include severe liver damage, cancerous tumors, severe anemia, muscle
wasting, severe and life-threatening rashes and "buffalo hump," where fatty
tissues accumulate behind the neck. more

The New York Times
The
kidneys fail first. Then the central nervous system begins to misfire.
Paralysis spreads, making breathing difficult, then often impossible without
assistance. In the end, most victims die. Many of them are children, poisoned
at the hands of their unsuspecting parents. The syrupy poison, diethylene
glycol, is an indispensable part of the modern world, an industrial solvent
and prime ingredient in some antifreeze. It is also a killer. And the deaths,
if not intentional, are often no accident. Over the years, the poison has
been loaded into all varieties of medicine — cough syrup, fever medication,
injectable drugs — a result of counterfeiters who profit by substituting
the sweet-tasting solvent for a safe, more expensive syrup, usually glycerin,
commonly used in drugs, food, toothpaste and other products. Toxic syrup
has figured in at least eight mass poisonings around the world in the past
two decades. Researchers estimate that thousands have died. In many cases,
the precise origin of the poison has never been determined. read

Cancer and Children In
memory of our son, Alexander Horwin
On August 10, 1998 at age two, our son Alexander Horwin was diagnosed
with the most common pediatric brain tumor, medulloblastoma. After Alexander
endured two brain surgeries my husband and I located the best non-toxic
therapy that had proven successful in treating brain cancer. However, on
September 21, 1998, the FDA denied Alexander access to this potentially
life-saving treatment. The oncologists told us that without their "state-of-the-art"
chemotherapy, the cancer would soon return. We knew nothing of the history,
efficacy and actual danger of chemotherapy but instinctively knew it was
a poor choice for therapy. Alexander completed his third month of
chemotherapy in December 1998 and died on January 31, 1999. He was
just two and a half years old.
The "state-of-the-art" chemo protocol that the oncologists had administered
to our son had proven its ineffectiveness in pediatric brain tumors many
years before. In fact, in 1994, the exact same chemo drugs Alexander received
in 1998 had been administered to children the same age with the same brain
tumor (medulloblastoma) as Alexander. This experiment proved so unsuccessful
that tumors spread within five months and the oncologists terminated the
protocol. It was incredible to us to discover that chemotherapy that had
already proven so ineffective that it required termination was being presented
to parents as "state of the art" years later.
We were never informed about the failure of this therapy. We
also discovered that we weren't the only parents being purposefully
misinformed. Today, parents are still being misled and children
with brain cancer are still getting these same toxic drugs that have proven
their ineffectiveness in the past. But even if you are informed that
orthodox therapy does not work you still may not have a choice. When we
hesitated to bring Alexander in for chemo the oncologists were already
gearing up to take him from us by court order. Learn more: read
about the Horwin's story and their journey into research.

Chemotherapy : A Critique of the Use of Toxic Drugs in the Treatment of
Cancer by Ralph W. Moss
"I started as a believer in chemotherapy. As a science writer at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, I wrote articles praising
the latest advances in chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy drugs were general
cellular poisons, they could be terribly toxic. They were also very expensive
for patients and for society as a whole. When I learned about the links
between the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer establishment (later
detailed in my book, The Cance r Industry) I understood the commercial
reason that such an inadequate modality was so heavily promoted." Ralph

Who's
Running the Food andDrug Administration? - By Sindi Holmund
The drug companies basically run the FDA now and there's no one to
stop them from lobbying to have more and more laws passed that make it
illegal for natural preventions and cures to be disseminated to the general
public. Which is why the alternative health field has such a difficult,
if not, impossible time letting you know what's' available to help you.
Dr Daniel H Duffy Sr - Pharmaceutical Terrorism and Mandatory
Vaccination - The very first words of the Nuremberg Principles issued
following the Second World War and designed to outlaw Nazi medical experiments
for all time were: “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely
essential." Failure to stem the present tide of invasive compulsory medical
procedures result in terrible consequences downstream as these forces grow
more powerful and more oppressive. We will eventually experience total
loss of our freedom to determine ours and our family’s own destiny, not
only in health matters but in all forms of living. Political power breeds
more power – the system is out of control and must be brought back under
control. Controversial mandatory medicine, especially mandatory vaccines
must be stopped. This socially malignant situation is under the control
of the educated, ruling classes, particularly that part of the scientific
community (NIH, CDC, FDA, AMA etc.) exerting influence on government
policy. Mandatory vaccination is the most repugnant idea ever put forth
by organized medicine. It gives the government power to invade our most
private space, our bodies. This is the most private domain of the citizen,
their own body! Mandatory vaccination puts one in mind of the eugenics
of Nazi Germany. The demand to yield to MANDATORY injection of a foreign
substance into a human body under circumstances that highly intelligent
specialists in all fields of scientific endeavor consider to be, at the
very minimum, highly controversial, cannot AND WILL NOT be tolerated.

"Take the Pills, or We'll Take Your Kids!"
by David Crowe
Jane Doe in Montreal refuses to give toxic, lifelong medication to her
two healthy sons, and loses custody of them. Another woman in Montreal
hears this and decides to have an abortion.
A woman in Maine has a daughter die on this medication, and finds that
the debilitating symptoms she and her son were also experiencing rapidly
disappear after stopping. The State takes her to court, but she wins her
case.
A couple in Oregon are less fortunate. They are "legally" forced to
medicate their infant and the mother forbidden to nurse him! A woman in
British Columbia is harassed by social workers who threaten to force her
to medicate her two children, and then hastily leaves the province.
A couple in London refuse to test their baby and flee from England after
losing their case, fearing that forced medication will follow forced testing.
All these people have one thing in common--both they and their children
are HIV-positive. They all reject the need for medication for their condition,
and for their HIV-positive children. In fact, they question whether the
HIV test indicates an illness at all.
The AIDS Epidemic
To most Canadians, AIDS is something that happens to other people, largely
gay men and drug addicts. They have no reason to doubt that HIV is the
cause of AIDS, that new drugs are miraculous advances or that the tests
for HIV are accurate--unless they test positive, of course.
Just like a diagnosis of terminal cancer, most people are completely
unprepared for this shattering moment, and rely on their doctors for advice,
which is almost always to get on AIDS drugs immediately to try to stop
the virus from its deadly advance. They usually do not question that they
will die a painful and early death, but hope that the drugs can buy time.
Canada's top AIDS scientist, Dr. Mark Wainberg believes that HIV always
leads to AIDS. In his opinion, those people who question the accuracy of
the HIV tests, or question whether immunosuppressive drugs are wise for
a disease characterized by immunsuppression are considered a threat to
public health and should be thrown in jail! (1)
Many people would consider a parent refusing AIDS medication to be irresponsible
but, considering the fatal nature of the diagnosis, perhaps within their
rights to let their child die a natural death, versus gaining a longer,
but lower quality life with medication. Few people would consider that
Jane Doe is actually behaving more sanely than the doctors. Yet, her do-nothing
approach to HIV has worked. 14 years after being found HIV-positive she
is still extremely healthy, and has never taken medication.
AIDS and AZT
The oldest, and still most widely prescribed AIDS medications are nucleoside
analogs. If DNA is likened to a chain of beads, a nucleoside analog is
a broken bead that can attach at one end, but not the other. Nucleoside
analogs are supposed to stop retroviruses from being incorporated into
DNA, but the inevitable incorporation of a molecule directly into a growing
chain of DNA will cause replication of DNA to halt.
One of these nucleoside analogs, AZT, is prescribed to pregnant women
to prevent transmission of HIV to their rapidly growing fetuses. It is
also prescribed to HIV-positive children. Side effects of nucleoside analogs
are similar to chemotherapy--anemia so serious that transfusions are required,
bone marrow destruction, peripheral nerve damage, failure of the pancreas,
and many others. (2) It is also known that nucleoside analogs can cross
the placenta and likely cause cancer, birth defects and mutations. (3)
The Price Of Health
There are several reasons why AIDS doctors and researchers may be so
adamant that not taking anti-HIV drugs is irresponsible: money, money and
money. Dr. Mark Wainberg, for example, has acknowledged being a shareholder
in the Montreal company Biochem Pharma that manufacturers 3TC, one of the
drugs that Jane Doe's children are believed to be taking. While the income
from one patient is probably not significant to him, the impression that
every rational person supports taking them is worth millions. HIV/AIDS
is worth billions of dollars to doctors, researchers, hospitals and manufacturers--far
out of proportion to the number of people affected in Canada (1,751 at
the peak in 1993, declining to 279 in 1998. (4)
If it becomes legitimate to question whether HIV tests are accurate,
whether HIV always leads to AIDS, whether AIDS is always fatal without
medication and whether anti-HIV drugs are useful, the entire infrastructure
will collapse. While that would be the end of the career of men like Dr.
Mark Wainberg, for Jane Doe this would be the end of her nightmare.
Sidebar: One Woman's True Story
Jane Doe has been through hell ever since she had her first child about
8 years ago. When one son came down with a chest infection (variously diagnosed
as bronchitis or mild pneumonia) in 1999, the entire weight of the medical,
social service and legal establishment was thrown on her. It was only through
the major financial support of the US-based International Coalition for
Medical Justice (www.icmj.org) that she was able to fight back. Even so,
after the involvement of several lawyers and tens of thousands of dollars,
Jane Doe lost custody of her two sons. Her parents were placed in the horrible
position of providing the three-drug AIDS cocktail to them several times
a day. If the children vomit after taking the drugs (a common reaction),
they must be given again. If the children refuse to take the drugs, they
must be forced. If the children have diarrhea, that is just the price they
have to pay. Nobody knows how long the children can live while taking these
drugs, which have acknowledged fatal side effects, but that does not stop
doctors from almost universally and absolutely recommending them.
Horror
story of forced drugging A mother's heart breaking testimonial
Sidebar: No Report Card
The Canadian Government doesn't have statistics on how many Canadians
are taking HIV medications, let alone how many adverse reactions there
are.
Every page of one Health Canada report of adverse reactions notes "Only
a small proportion of suspected adverse reactions are reported to the program".
Other estimates suggest that one to 10 per cent of adverse reactions are
reported.
In HIV/AIDS, where the drugs can destroy the bone marrow, and therefore
the immune system, it is very difficult to distinguish the disease from
the side effects of the therapy.
Glaxo Wellcome, the largest manufacturer of AIDS drugs claims that a
list of adverse reactions to their AIDS drugs in Canada is 'proprietary
to the company'.

In New York’s Washington Heights is a 4-story brick building called
Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC). This former convent houses a revolving
stable of children who’ve been removed from their own homes by the Agency
for Child Services. These children are black, Hispanic and poor. Many of
their mothers had a history of drug abuse and have died. Once taken into
ICC, the children become subjects of drug trials sponsored by NIAID (National
Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease, a division of the NIH),
NICHD (the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) in
conjunction with some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies –
GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Genentech, Chiron/Biocine and others.

- "The medical establishment works closely with
the drug multinationals whose main objective is profits, and whose worst
nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold.
In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors
are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded
with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The principal buyers are
the public - from infants to the elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated
and vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative
medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot
make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural
remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and
that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot
teach."

FDA
Issues Public Health Advisory on Cautions for Use of Antidepressants in
Adults and Children The Food and Drug Administration today issued
a Public Health Advisory that provides further cautions to physicians,
their patients, and families and caregivers of patients about the need
to closely monitor both adults and children with depression. The drugs
under review include bupropion, citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, mirtazapine,
nefazodone, paroxetine, sertraline, escitalopram and venlafaxine. It should
be noted that the only drug that has received approval for use in children
with major depressive disorder is fluoxetine (Prozac).

According to the first comprehensive scientific review to include all
available studies, including negative data that have long been withheld
from public scrutiny by the pharmaceutical industry, four popular antidepressants
being used to treat thousands of depressed American children are unsafe,
ineffective or both. Those antidepressants are: Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor,
Celexa. This is damning evidence of the drug companies' patent disregard
for the safety of humans and focus on profits. GlaxoSmithKline was found
to be concealing evidence that shows that these drugs do not benefit children
in any way and only increase their risk of killing themselves. This was
confirmed in an article in the Canadian
Medical Journal. Drug companies do the research and learn that
the drugs don't work, yet are willing to sell and market them to children
even when it is clear that they are causing many children
to commit suicide.

on the facts about today's widespread practice of labeling children mentally
ill and drugging them with heavy, mind-altering, psychiatric drugs.
Armed in this way, loving parents will be able to prevail in the face of
the enormous "drug children now" pressures so entrenched in society today.
Protected in this way, our children will be spared the totally unnecessary
misery of a drug-hazed youth, succeeded by the risk of a drug-consumed
adulthood.

STOP DRUGGING MY CHILD
My name is Anna . I live in Rutland, Vermont The following is true and
accurate to the best of my knowledge.
I have two children, a fourteen-year-old and an eleven-year-old. My
eleven-year-old son, Jacob , was born June 23, 1992 and recently just turned
eleven years of age. As a youngster he attended public schools in
Rutland, Vermont. He seemed to do well at the first school he attended,
the Rutland Intermediate School. He was a smart child and an avid reader,
even when in first grade. In the summer of 2000, when he was 7 years old,
the Educational Coordinators of the Intermediate School and the Success
School in Rutland both told me I should take my son to see a psychiatrist
named Dr. Marjorie Carsen.
Both had been pressuring me to get my son drugged with Ritalin. So,
I took my son Jacob to see Dr. Carsen at Rutland Mental Health. She saw
him for about 15 minutes, diagnosed him as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) and prescribed Ritalin for him. In arriving at her diagnosis
there were no medical tests performed of any kind, such as blood testing,
brain scans, etc.
As an observation, I have since encountered many parents whose children
have been drugged by Dr. Marjorie Carsen and I believe she is responsible
for the vast majority of the psychiatric drugging of the children in the
Rutland schools. I recently called Rutland Mental Health and they said
she is the only one in the area that prescribes psychiatric medications
for young children.
After our first visit with Dr. Carsen, my son Jacob was on Ritalin for
about the next 8 months. He had very bad effects from taking this drug
and it caused him to act unlike his natural self. At times he would be
violent on the drug and he even started gouging holes in the walls of his
room. There were other times when he would sit in a chair for literally
hours, sometimes 3-4 hours, and do nothing except stare and drool. He also
lost his appetite and stopped eating or drinking as much as he used to.
I was very worried about how little he would drink. He began to lose weight.
Ritalin
also produces frequent withdrawals, about every four hours, and the drug
has to be given several times a day to take the child off the withdrawals.
During the week my son would be drugged with Ritalin by me in the morning
and then the school would give him a second dose around lunchtime. These
were the only two doses prescribed each day. Sometimes, by the end of the
afternoon, he would be acting kind of crazy and out of character, as he
would be going through withdrawals late in the day. This made both our
lives difficult on a daily basis. (By this statement I am not recommending
drugging children one or two more times per day. On the contrary, I feel
they should not be given such drugs at all.) Another effect of Ritalin
is to cause insomnia. (Weight loss, loss of appetite, insomnia, stunted
body growth, stomach pains, headaches and nervousness are all common effects
of this drug.) Jacob also had a lot of trouble sleeping while on
Ritalin.
In all the times I have spoken with Dr. Marjorie Carsen and with all
the drugs she has put my son Jacob on, she has never once told me of any
of the many, nasty effects of the drugs. The same Educational Coordinators
told me I had to enter my son into a psychiatric hospital called the Brattleboro
Retreat. They told me that if I didn't do it they would force the action
on me. When he was still 7 years old, in the summer of 2000, he went to
this "hospital." There, they labeled my son not only with ADHD, but also
Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) and as being borderline Bipolar.
This surprised me as he was then on Ritalin and acting out of character
and having numerous effects from the drug, such as nervousness at times
and just sitting and drooling at other times, as well as loss of appetite
for food and liquids, and insomnia. Many parents know that a child can
be cranky and difficult when they are short on food and sleep and the Ritalin
was causing my son to have these very characteristics day after day. In
the fall of the year 2000 Jacob began attending a school known as the Success
School in Rutland. People at the school felt that Jacob was still not paying
enough attention or following the requests of his teacher adequately.
Dr. Carsen decided to try out different drugs on Jacob. After he was
on the Ritalin for about 8 months she stopped that and tried other psychiatric
drugs on him, such as Klonopin and Zyprexa. These did not suit him well
either. When he was about eight and a half years old, Dr. Carsen
put him on a mixture of Concerta (which consists of the same chemical as
Ritalin, but is longer lasting). She also put him on an antipsychotic medication
called Risperdal which was supposedly to keep him calm in the morning and
to help him sleep at night, as he was having trouble sleeping from the
first drug. Risperdal has its own numerous effects on a person. For example,
it can make them feel very tired, and it is even advised that one wear
protective clothing and sun screen with this medication as it makes one's
skin overly sensitive to sunlight. Carsen prescribed the Risperdal for
my son to be taken morning, noon and night with a double dosage to be
taken at night, all in addition to the Concerta he was being given.
In recent months, when my son Jacob was ten years old, Dr. Carsen decided
to add a third drug to the mix, a new drug for ADHD called Strattera. I
would say that this drug drove him somewhat psychotic, at least in the
chemical cocktail she had devised for him. He was on this combination of
three drugs for about three months. I saw my son go really crazy on this
drug mix. One time he started throwing chairs about. He was acting out
more in school and at home during this period.
After many reports to Dr. Carsen from me about the toxic reactions my
son was having to her new drug concoction, she switched my son over to
Trileptal, 300 mg. a day, in addition to the Concerta and Risperdal.
The Success School is considered a behavior treatment place. It has about
35 children enrolled in it and I believe that every one of them is being
drugged similarly to my son. Despite the name of the school, it apparently
seldom produces a successful outcome. It is said about the school that
once kids are sent there they are destined to spend their lives in a mental
institution. I suspect that many of the kids there display numerous negative
effects of the drugs they are given and that these are looked upon as symptoms
of more mental disorders. As there is no medical or scientific bases for
psychiatric "mental disorders," they can be assigned to children very arbitrarily,
leading to further drugging.
As the drugs can cause permanent brain, nerve and glandular damage,
very great harm can be done to them with such treatment. Personnel
at Success School told me to go to the Social Rehabilitation Services for
assistance because my son was leaving the school a lot during school hours.
I contacted the Social Rehabilitation Services about 2 months ago to get
their help and because the personnel at the school threatened me with having
my child taken away if I didn't contact them myself. When I went to see
them I gave them custody of my son with the understanding that he would
be allowed to live with me and that I would eventually get full custody
returned to me. I was soon betrayed.
About 2 weeks days ago, an 18-year-old kid from a group home called
Spectrum, around the corner from our house, run by Social Rehabilitation
Services, gave my 10-year-old son a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor. (The
drinking age in Vermont is 21.) My son drank it. Apparently, the older
boy thought my son was funny and pushed him to drink a second one as, I
understand, my son was reluctant. Jacob became very sick from the alcohol,
as he was only 10 years old and only weighed about 68 lbs. Additionally,
he was already taking 3 strong psychiatric drugs. He threw up and passed
out on the ground. I was told about the incident and immediately brought
him home.
Soon after that a police officer came to the house and took Jacob on
behalf of the Social Rehabilitation Services. Jacob was taken to a juvenile
correction facility called Woodside where he was put in with a group of
17- year-olds. About 10 days ago, about 3 days after he was seized, he
was brought into court for a hearing. This little fellow (he was kind of
small to begin with and I believe his last 3 years on Ritalin and Concerta
have stunted his growth even more) was brought into the courtroom in handcuffs
and with shackles on his ankles. When I first saw my boy I wanted to hug
him, but was forbidden. The hearing was brief. The judge seemed to have
zero interest in my point of view or Jacob's; he seemed predisposed to
listen to the lawyer for the Social Rehabilitation Services and in a foregone
conclusion ruled to keep my son at Woodside. At the end of the hearing
I went up to Jacob without permission and a female guard let me hug my
shackled and handcuffed son while 2 older people lifted him under his arms
and held him near me. He was crying.
I give the Citizens Commission on Human Rights authority to do as they
wish with this affidavit, including, but not limited to, bringing it to
the attention of the media, legislators and government officials.
