[QUOTE="BigMamma3, post: 239151, member: 6663"] I'm curious at what age your daughter was given Risperdal? I just think 4 yo is SO young to be medicating experimentally (and this was the consensus at the thereputic preschool I worked at too). Even today I don't think it is normally prescribed for PTSD, which is the reason they gave it. What makes me angry is they prescribed it for the PTSD during her stay at the final foster placement where I later learned she was (1) viewing the news on Hurricane Katrina (along with her FM's emotional reactions) all day every day (2) watching R rated movies with serious domestic violence themes regularly (she would quote the movies and point them out to me in the video store!) and (3) listening to seriously innapropriate music from the FM's teenage daughters who cared for the girls regularly. Though I reported all this to SW, I'm sure that FM is still in business. Did she physically or sexually abuse...probably not. But I do beleive she did cause emotional trauma! I personally feel that media such as TV, movies, music and video games are EXTREMELY important to monitor, modify use and in some cases eliminate exposure to altogether. Unfortunately many people are not aware of the affects of these. Ok...I think I have rambled and digressed sufficiently! [/QUOTE]
