[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 568706, member: 1967"] DDD, while I agree with you that it sounds like a good idea, I can't see that the parents in my community would agree to something like that. It would be seen as government intrusion on their rights as a parent. . . especially if the testing showed a mental illness. What if the parents did not agree with the finding? Does the government force the child into treatment over the objections of the parents? I remember when a school district tried to weigh all of their elementary students and sent notes home if the child had a high BMI. The community went nuts and the school district backed down even though childhood obesity is an ever growing problem. Sadly, there are no easy answers. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
