John Mappin's Newspaper Exposes Human Rights Scandal

DOCUMENTARY INFORMS PARENTS ABOUT PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS THAT COULD KILL CHILDREN ALERT!!! WE ARE PRINTING THIS IMPORTANT ARTICLE AS THIS SITUATION HAS DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES TO TOMORROW'S ARTISTS AND TOMORROW'S POTENTIAL FUTURE LEADERS EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!! THE SOLUTION IS AT WWW.CCHR.ORG LOSING A CHILD is a tragedy. Losing a child needlessly is a crime. Ten-year-old Harry Hucknall exemplifies this. In March, West Cumbria Coroner Ian Smith found that Harry, the cousin of Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall, had hanged himself while taking an antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) and Ritalin. The post-mortem tests revealed Harry had above the normal therapeutic level of the antidepressant given to adults. This was not suicide for one minute, the coroner determined. I record that Harry died as a consequence of his own actions without understanding their true consequences. Harrys death is not an isolated case, which is why in 2003 the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ruled that antidepressants should not be prescribed to those younger than 18 years old.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the same warning a year later. A year too late for 17-year old Matthew Steubing prescribed Lexapro for usual teenage angst. The avid sportsman committed suicide eight weeks later. Matthews death sparked a mothers search for the truth about antidepressants to discover the information that she and Matthew had been denied. Information that had Celeste Steubing known, Matthew would be alive today. And even, perhaps, Harry. Dead Wrong: How Psychiatric Drugs Can Kill Your Child is a compelling film produced by award-winning documentary makers for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), an acclaimed international psychiatric watchdog group established by the Church of Scientology in 1969. Of course, one could reasonably expect Mrs. Steubing should have been able to get the facts from a responsible drug company or psychiatrist, but the reasons she couldnt are very much a part of the story you see in Dead Wrong and hardly surprising when you consider statistics. The number of schoolchildren prescribed antidepressants and mind-altering drugs has more than quadrupled in the last decade in the UK. Under-16s were given drugs for psychiatric problems more than 631,000 times in 2006, compared to just 146,000 in the mid-Nineties. Use of Ritalin, known as the chemical cosh, have doubled in just four years and is nearly 100 times greater than in the early Nineties. Doctors dispensed 254,000 prescriptions for the drug last year, up from 208,500 in 2001,according to figures from the Prescription Pricing Authority. And therein lies the greater reason for parents being denied the facts. Psychiatrists and others prescribing the drug rake in a pretty penny. Ritalin costs between 200 and 1,000 per year per child, depending on the dose and follow up assessments. NHS spending on the drug between 1999 and 2003 alone more than trebled from about 251,000 to 786,000. Parents are also not informed that the psychiatric disorders for which these drugs are prescribed cannot be medically confirmed with any physical test as medical conditions can. NHS admits, There is no cure for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Brian Daniels, UK spokesperson for CCHR, said, Parents deserve to know the truth. The facts in Dead Wrong can help protect children and their families. There are alternatives to mind-altering and potentially lethal drugs and parents need to demand to be informed of these. Mrs. Steubing adds, We hope that by sharing Matthews story, other families will be spared the devastating heartbreak we live with every day.
