THE SCAM OF MENTAL HEALTH TESTING IN SCHOOLS

Mental health testing of school children without parental   consent is here in the U.S. now. The New Freedom Commission (NFC) is a group with pharmaceutical ties created   by a presidential executive order in 2002. The NFC’s members are  from the drug industry or have financial ties with it. They  designed an action plan for “early mental health screening,  assessment and referral to services.” The NFC recommends  mandatory mental health screening for all high school students.  As history has shown, once a federal program is created it  becomes institutionalized and rarely goes away. The costs are  rushing downhill towards the public like a thousand Niagara  Falls; costs in lives and money.

The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS) has called the New Freedom Commission’s plan “a
dangerous scheme that will heap even more coercive pressure
on parents to medicate children with the potential of dangerous
side effects.”

The New Freedom Commission (NFC) encourages
mental illness screening of all children and adolescents under
the guise of preventing youth suicides. The Commission
completely ignores the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force
finding that there is no evidence screening for suicide risk
reduces suicide attempts or mortality.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Suicide
Research Consortium study found, “…a prevention program
designed for high-school aged youth found that participants
were more likely to consider suicide a solution to a problem
after the program than prior to the program.”

Jane Pearson, Ph.D. who chaired the NIMH consortium
stated that when researchers have tried to predict suicide using
as many known risk factors as possible (not like the simple
TeenScreen test) they are still unable to predict who will and
who will not attempt suicide.

TeenScreen Finds Most Teens Are Mentally Ill
The Federal government has budgeted money to bribe states to
follow NFC guidelines. The screening process the NFC chose as
the model, TeenScreen, identified 50 percent of teenagers who
were screened in Colorado high schools as suicidal and having
mental disorders. The fact that 9 out of 10 children or
adolescents who see psychiatrists are put on drugs should be
reason enough to have all Americans shouting, “NO MORE
DRUGGING OUR CHILDREN!”
