'IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOUR KIDS!!
Most regular readers remember when Madpole, a Grumpy Member lost his Grandson Tyler early the morning after Christmas.
Tyler's Grandmother, Madpole's wife has a story to tell, and a warning for every parent and grandparent.
My Grandson, Tyler
My grandson was a very energetic, happy, fun-loving 8 year old boy. He loved life and enjoyed riding his bike and playing video games. When he was in preschool, the teacher’s talked his mother into putting him on ADHD medication for behavioral control. She asked our opinion on the matter, and we told her no, that was not a good idea, but in the end, the teacher’s won out and he was put on meds. During winter breaks, spring breaks and summer breaks, we took him off the meds. This past summer was no different. When school resumed, my son had to put him back on the meds because the school required it (he was too energetic for the teacher, they did not want to have to keep telling him to stay on task).
He went to the doctor to try and get different medication because the current stuff he was on was having adverse effects in his ability to control his bowel movements. The doctor prescribed a different medication, but never told my son exactly what it was or the dangers of this particular medication. His Medicaid had expired because of the transfer from his mother’s case to my son’s case and his medication ran out. He was off the meds for about a month before the insurance was corrected. During this time, his teacher would wave us down when we picked him up at the end of the day and ask when he was getting back on the meds. She wanted to know if there was anything the school could do to help get him back on meds. She did this several times over the course of the month, begging and pleading with us to put him on the ADHD medication.
The insurance was corrected and he started taking the new meds. This was in November. He was on this new medication for about 6 weeks. We stopped giving it to him when the winter break came. He had a wonderful Christmas day, opening presents and playing with his new toys. When he went to sleep that night, we had no idea that he was not going to be with us in the morning. He lost his life overnight and I will never forget what the school did to him. He was forced to be put on these meds by the school and I know that’s what took his life that night.
Teachers should not be allowed to force the children who are under their care for 6-7 hours a day to be put on medication. If you have a room full of energetic kids, do you dope them up so they will sit still? If that is what a teacher wants out of their classroom, they should be teaching high school. Young children are energetic and should not be held back just because a school decides that it’s easier to teach if the kids sit still.
My grandson lost his life, not because of something he chose to do, not because of something that we chose to do, but because of something that his school required because he was energetic and they did not want to have to keep working with him. How many other children’s parents are going through this same thing? How many other teacher’s are begging and forcing the parents to put their kids on meds so they have a quiet room to teach? How many more deaths to kids before the schools change their policy?
I did some research and found out that 147 kids lost their life to this medication that my grandson was on over the last 10 years. Out of those, almost 80% died in the first 6 months of taking this medication. Is that an acceptable loss? Apparently so, they are still prescribing it. How does a parent know if their kid is going to survive or not? Why do doctors prescribe this medication if they are unsure about it? Is there a kickback to the doctor’s if they prescribe it? Also, with the schools, do they get extra financing if more kids are on medication? I think they do, they must, why else would they want to robotize our children?
Parents, you must know what you are giving your children. Do some research, ask around. Talk with other parents. Do not ask the doctor, and do not ask the teacher. They are working together to dumb down our children and maybe even take their life.
Thank you for posting this for me. I hope some parent out there gets the message before it's too late for their family.

I sent Tylers Grandmother a note asking if she wanted me to post her story
I received this reply
***********************************
Grumpy, yes, I would be very honored if you would post this story on your site. It was very hard to write, but I wanted to try and get the word out. Parents are giving this stuff to their kids without any knowledge about the dangers of it. There are supposed to be tests run by the doctor before they prescribe it. There are also supposed to be "Black-Box" warning labels on these medications. That is not being done! Something has to stop this madness. These pharmaceutical companies are making a mint off the drugging of mostly American children. The schools dare to promote "Say No to Drugs" when they are requiring that children take drugs (medication) to control their behavior.
Does that make sense?

I know firsthand how easy it is to get a doctor to write a perscription.. I had my grandson at the doctors office one day, we we're talking, I happened to mention he'd gotten into a little scuffle at school.. He was seven at the time. Seven Year old boys have been getting into occassional shoving matches as long as there have been seven year old boys.
The first thing out of the doctors mouth was "I can give you a perscription"
I told the doctor I could give him a gentle smack where God provided the spot.. (not..... exactly in those words)

"Real Americans" Note:
First, to Tyler's grandparents:
Our deepest sympathies for you and all Tyler's family. No words can rightly express our sorrow, but it breaks my heart to learn of your grief.
To American parents:
There use to be a 10 PM "warning" on many television channel across America that said: "It's 10 PM - do you know where your children are?"
I suggest a new warning: "Parents - Do you realize what is happening in our schools, to our children?"
To Washington, DC legislators:
In the blessed memory of young Tyler (and all the Tyler's in America) we would like to propose NEW legislation that would prevent the deaths of our children.
Teachers in Wisconsin are picketing for Union benefits; the First Lady promotes "healthy" food in the schools; Obama had our children sing songs to him when he was first elected ... But NOTHING and no one speaks for America's children.
It's about the kid's Stupid! Not about some meaningless promotion for some political agenda! The slogan "Just say no to Drugs" is meaningless when the public education system is drugging our children to keep them "calm" and like robots. I can't help but wonder what Einstein's teachers thought about him, as a child. Did he ask too many questions? Did he interrupt the class?
I would like to see some form of legislation called "The Tyler Bill" presented in Washington that takes the safety of our children out of the hands of teachers and government. Can someone please help us?
Footnote: As a contributor to "Grumpyelder's" website, I was asked to share the story of young Tyler. I suggest that everyone reading, share and openly discuss how to make a tragedy turn into something good, for the sakes of all our children and grandchildren.
For Tyler's family:
