Several national and international groups are joining together to:

 

FIGHT FOR KIDS

In the past year, there have been more than a dozen international drug

regulatory agency warnings issued about the potential for psychiatric

drugs to

cause hallucinations, violence, mania, heart attacks, sudden death

and suicide

among our youth.

Only by enlightening parents on risks of these drugs, and informing

them of

alternative treatments will they be able to make an educated choice

for the

well-being of their children.

We invite you to join us for an evening of learning more about this

important issue and how you can get involved in helping to support a

parent’s right

to choose. This cause is one that transcends all political, social,

economic

and religious backgrounds.

Special guest speakers include:

Kelly Preston

Arianna Huffington

Mrs. Vicky Dunkle, Vice President of Parents for a Label and Drug Free

Education

Mrs. Lisa Van Syckle, Regional Director, International Coalition for Drug

Awareness, New Jersey Chapter

Robert Manciero, Full Vision Productions, " Prescription Suicide "

Important Facts:

Today, children 5 years old and younger are the fastest-growing

segment of

the non-adult population prescribed antidepressants in the U.S.

Children as

young as 4 have attempted suicide while influenced by such drugs and

5 year

olds have committed suicide.

Between 1995 and 1999, antidepressant use increased 580% in the under 6

population and 151% in the 7-12 age group.

Eight out of 13 school shooters were taking antidepressants or

stimulants at

the time of the crime.

At the current rates of increase in the child drugging market, 80% of the

nation’s youth will be taking psychiatric drugs in the year 2015

 

Organizations raising awareness on this issue:

Fightforkids.org

A parents information website created by the Citizens Commission on Human

Rights (CCHR), a world-wide non-profit organization co-founded by the

Church of

Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szasz as a mental

health

watchdog organization. CCHR has helped enact dozens of legislative

reforms

that protect parents from being mislead, coerced or pressured to give

their

children psychiatric drugs without being warned of the risks. CCHR

has been

recognized as the leading advocacy organization that helped garner

support for

a federal bill that now protects parents from being required to drug

their

children as a condition of attending school. Its board of advisors

includes

medical doctors, legislators, psychologists, and celebrities who believe

children have the right to grow up drug free.

 

DrugAwareness.org

The International Coalition for Drug Awareness is a private non-profit

organization founded by Dr. Ann Blake Tracy, Ph.D. in Health Sciences

with the

emphasis on Psychology. Its board members comprise physicians,

researchers,

journalists, parents and concerned citizens whose primary focus is to

address

the worlds most pervasive and subtle drug problem, prescription drugs.

Dedicated to the educating of people of the world regarding the

potentially harmful

and life threatening effects of these drugs.

 

AbleChild.org

Parents for a Label and Drug Free education are a nationally recognized

non-profit organization founded by New York mother Patricia Weathers,

after her

son was targeted for psychiatric drug treatment in school. Today the

organization comprises thousands of parents from across the nation

who have been

pressured, coerced or forced to administer psychiatric drugs to their

children.

This organization fights for a parents right to say no, and to be

given all the

information necessary to make an informed choice, not just the

information

coming from an industry that benefits from child drugging.
