<span style="color: #3333FF">I have a 15 year old son who is diagnosed as having Pediatric Bipolar Disorder. This occurred at the age of 7 when he was inadvertently placed on Prozac while at ***** Hospital. Within 48 hours he was homicidal, suicidal and psychotic. For years we struggled with what happened and how to treat it. We struggled with the schools for an IEP and Special Education. We struggled with stabilizing him.
I was a homeowner in **** for 11 years. After my son became ill I decided to give up my home and career (I am an LPN-C) to stay at home with him to give him the best quality of life I could instead of placing him in an institution. We moved into Public Housing in ******. My son got SSI. The entire family sacrificed for his benefit.
May 5, 05 after my son had been manic for two weeks, sleeping only a few hours a night, he was falling asleep at school. He eventually told the school I had given him a purple sleeping pill. When I picked him up that day I was arrested. My home was searched and Dylan was removed from my custody. We were no contact for six months. After one week of the arrest my name was placed on the Central Abuse Registry before I ever saw a Judge rendering my nursing licenses obsolete. 11-5=05 Dylan returned to my home. He is with me every weekend, holiday and all summer.
January 4,06 the Juvenile charges were dropped. March 26,06 the Criminal Charges were dropped. I wrote and requested that my name be removed from the Central Abuse Registry and that was denied. I do not understand how when two Judges drop my charges without prejudice that the Central Abuse Registry can convict me. I have been a nurse since 1980. I feel I have the right to provide for my family with my career but I am no longer employable due to this Registry.
PLEASE write your Congressmen and Senator's and demand that this Registry be changed to contain ONLY convicted abusers. States run these registries but the Federal Govt needs to ensure that only convicted persons are on them. :sad:
