This is great news! I hope that this legislation passes and then the idea spreads to all other states. Informed consent will give good parents the ability to decide for themselves, truthfully, what is best for their children. And that’s the way it should be. As a side thought I wonder if the 3 who voted against have any ties to big pharma?

When we lose our rights to be informed and given consent then we have become cattle or slaves and no longer is it the land of the free!

ps
For some reason this page would not let me vote, but you have to know I am against government or industry doing things without proper and informed consent!

My child is not a child of the state or government, he is
mine I gave birth to him. How dare you decide what is
good for my child. I better have the consent.

It should be mandatory that informed consent be provided on all medications prescribed for children (or adults for that matter) whether they have a black-box warning or not.

It is the only way to protect children and provide safe care for them.

For parents and caretakers to be effective and responsible they must know the adverse effects and any benefits of a psychotropic. That way, they can make an informed choice and safeguard their children’s health.

Great news on the informing of parents.

Please look at some data out of Southampton University, UK,in September, 2007, regarding the research they have done with foods additives given to children under 10 years of age. The research concluded that food additives did cause adverse reactions, which resulted in poor behaviour, (which could then be diagnosed as ADHD)

My conclusion therefore, is that a reaction to a food additive is NOT A MENTAL DISORDER and does not require drugs as a solution.

So get your children tested, by a practitioner who has the necessary qualifications, to find out if your child’s behaviour is a reaciton to food additives. NOTE: A psychiatrist is not qualified to do this testing!!

Good Luck, Richard B

People might be informed even on “not that convenient” matters.
YOU are NOT stupid.
YOU would not want to be ignorant.
YOU would not want to be lured and cheated easily.
