 Unapproved Psychiatric Drug
 from Doctor on "Watch List"

Weeks before his death, Gabriel Myers, the 7-year-old Broward boy who hanged himself in the shower of his foster home, had been prescribed a powerful mind-altering drug linked by federal regulators to an increased risk of suicide in children.

In all, Gabriel had been prescribed four psychiatric drugs, two or three of which he was taking at the time of his death, said Jack Moss, Broward chief of the state Department of Children & Families. Moss said he is not sure which medications the boy was taking because Margate police took the foster home's medication log as part of an investigation into Gabriel's death last week.

Three of the psychotropic drugs carry U.S. Food and Drug Administration ''black box'' label warnings for children's safety, the strongest advisory the federal agency issues. Three of the medications are not approved for use with young children, though they are widely prescribed to youngsters ''off label'' -- meaning doctors can prescribe the drug even if not formally approved for that use.

Out of 17,000 doctors, Dr. Sohail Punjwani is one of about 300 who has been on a "red flag" list for (excessively) prescribing certain psychotropic drugs.

And though Florida law requires that either a parent or judge consent to the use of psychotropic drugs on foster children, a source with knowledge of the boy's case said Gabriel already had been taking a three-drug cocktail.  Broward Circuit Judge Lisa Porter was informed of this at a March 11 hearing, but the judge approved the medications over the objection of a court-appointed guardian, the source said.

Home Schooled, Unvaccinated Children Are Creating A Big Problem for the CDC and FDA:  There Are Virtually NO CASES OF AUTISM.

The CDC blames 63 unvaccinated children with religious and home schooling status for a "MEASLES EPIDEMIC" (131 cases out of a population of 300,000,000)  to throw heat off 21 GARDASIL deaths & over 9000 complaints, including paralysis, involving young girls

 
Connecticut DCF Watch  has a free handbook circulating throughout the country, with over 100 tables of authorities for parents, attorneys, law enforcement personnel, and judges.  It has the most up to date case law on 4th and 14th Amendment requirements for DCF, the AAG as well as State's Attorneys.  

For example:

  • It is unconstitutional for a Child Protective Agency or Investigator to conduct ANY investigation, without a caregiver's WILLFUL permission, in a residence or within the curtilage of private property without a warrant, when "imminent danger" or "exigency" does not exist. 
     
  • Anonymous reports are NEVER probable cause.  
     
  • It is a "seizure" to speak to a child without consent. 
      
  • Removing a child from the non-offending parent  because the child witnessed domestic violence is unlawful and unconstitutional.  
     
  • Denying DCF entry is NOT hindering an investigation. It is an assertion of one's 4th Amendment right, as well as your right to remain silent.

U.S. SUPREME COURT
DECIDED MARCH 22, 2006

GEORGIA v. RANDOLPH
 

This decision makes it MANDATORY for ALL law enforcement to obtain consent from all tenants/occupants present, before a warrantless entry can be affected, and reinforces the 4th Amendment.

This will help put a brake on CPS and police who accompany these warrantless entries, and both are liable for 4th Amendment intrusions into homes.  click here

Interlocutory appeal of denial of qualified immunity: In 1996, the Supreme Court held that successive interlocutory appeals are allowable to resolve legal issues regarding qualified immunity. The issue, said the Court, may "require more than one judiciously timed appeal." Behrens v. Pelletier, 516 U.S. 299. But, does the failure to appeal the denial of a motion to dismiss on qualified immunity grounds preclude a later appeal of denial of a motion for summary judgment? No, says the Tenth Circuit, at least where the argument in the summary judgment motion relies on evidence developed during discovery. See Robbins v. Wilkie, 433 F.3d 755 (10th Cir.2006).

"Robbins had a clearly established right to be free from retaliation for exercising his right to exclude others from his property under the Fifth Amendment."   click here

On November 11, 2004, Miami TV Stations reported three officers electrocuted a six year old child with a 50,000 volt TASER GUN, while the principal of the KELSEY L. PHARR Elementary School, in Miami Florida, looked on in approval.  Instead of offering the small child candy, they sent 50,000 volts through this small child's body.  No report could be taken by Florida CPS, because these officers were not "caregivers."

SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME - Barlow's Disease:  Sometimes mistakenly diagnosed as child abuse, CAUSED BY VACCINATION.

While parents send body armor to their children fighting abroad, Credit Cards at the Department Of Defense are being used to buy breast implants, lingerie, engagement rings, $400 briefcases - at a cost of about a trillion dollars - or about $4000.00 dollars for every American, per ABC's 20/20, which aired June 4, 2004.   So why are some American children and families going to bed without enough food or a roof over their head, and educational budgets being cut?  

While a virtual blank check is available to prosecute families, programs to aid families are being cut-back or withdrawn.
