Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Dear all: This is very serious. We can’t let this happen. The government wants to force children and pregnant women into being screened for mental health, afterwhich various individuals will be LABELED with arbitrarily decided on “mental disorders.” The next step is to force kids onto debilitating and dangerous psychiatric drugs – even from birth!! Read on: Illinois is only days away from becoming the first state to implement the President's New Freedom Commission recommendations on children's mental health. Illinois passed the Children's Mental Health Act of 2003, which created the Illinois Children's Mental Health Partnership. The Partnership is submitting a " strategic plan " to the governor's office, the final plan is due on his desk June 30. In 2004 the Illinois legislature recommended TeenScreen specifically in a house resolution. This plan includes mental health screening, treatment and intervention for all pregnant women, and all Illinois children reaching into young adulthood. This Partnership answers ONLY to Governor Rod Blagojevich. The Partnership has posted the final plan for public comment, however, they are only accepting comments until June 17. Comments to the Partnershiip will fall on deaf ears. They don't care about opposition. Only the Governor's office has the power to pull the plug on this plan. If successful, Illinois will set a precedent for other states to follow NFC recommendations using state laws. The Governor alone can stop this. Please let the Illinois Governor and his chief of staff hear what you have to say: Governor Rod Blagojevich governor Deputy Chief of Staff-Social Services - Louanner Peters louannerpeters If you need more info about the fallacy of these initiatives, please let me know. Sincerely, Carole Eddington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
