[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 30151, member: 1550"] WE have strict laws for controlled substances, but I personally wouldn't like to "go there" having to practically log every medication given to me. I wouldn't mind for the kids, but if parents want to drug their kids, they will find away. Maybe they'd have bought tons of OTC medications, like Benadryl, cough medications, etc. There are any number of OTC drugs to make a child senseless if given enough. The DOCTOR refilled the scripts, which I find appalling, after they had "lost" medication several times. The pharmacist expressed concern. As tightly controlled as ADHD drugs are here, they are very much abused by kids. Kids fake ADHD symptoms and get stimulants. They take their little brother's pills. The parents sometimes try to talk doctor's into thinking their kid has aDHD, and use it themselves. You can buy them on the streets. My daughter almost died of ADHD drug overdoses. This is very tightly controlled so who knows how people get the drugs? Also, there are several known abused OTC drugs that you have to sign for in order to get. I'm not in favor of a complicated paper trail for every medication. The Pharmacists and doctors should know better than to write out scrips like water, and most do. You get a bad egg--combined with ignorant parents and you have trouble. I am also VERY leery of newspaper accounts, however. When these people go to court, the truth will come out in the trial and hopefully the parents will, if guilty, be charged with some sort of murder. [/QUOTE]
