I wish people who opt to divorce would realize that it’s in everyone’s best interest to act friendly and normal. Period.

It’s not normal to prevent a parent from saying hello to their kid when dropping off something during visitation. In fact, it’s unnecessarily cruel…and obviously damaging for the kid.

If exes can’t be in the same room, that’s a problem the adults need to solve.

PS - the guy looks emotionally abusive.

I mean just the fact that he left her for the woman they would have threesomes with....

She was told the child wasn’t home. A nurse is a mandated reporter and won’t administer a controlled drug like Ritalin to a tiny child unless it’s clear it’s their prescription. It’s dangerous period. Of course she had to call cps as a mandates reporter. Ritalin is essentially meth.

If that's true, that's nuts and she is lacking a basic common sense gene.

They don't just remove kids for that too. They only remove kids after an investigation... I guess they found other concerning things.

If it’s true CPS will absolutely remove children from a parent giving them illegal drugs.

Also remember that this is a temporary order. They have a hearing coming up in December.

I find it hard to believe that the kid does not have an ADHD dx and a prescription. I do know that it has become hard to get ADHD med refills, so maybe the pill bottle didn’t have his name on it.

I was surprised when we learned the specifics of what she did - that is actually a really big deal, dangerous. (Forget that - yes, he looks and acts strangely and left her for the person they were both intimate with.)

We don’t know the specifics of what she did. based on things I read online, her son has some substantial behavioral issues - possibly due to autism or ADHD. A stimulant for emotional regulation is very, very common in these situations. It could be that he has a prescription that ran out so she gave the nurse someone else’s pill bottle.

The article says the child has not been prescribed the meds. This isn’t a case where they ran out of meds. This is People, not Reality Blurb.

The kid did not run out of their meds.


“A source tells PEOPLE exclusively that the decision to remove the children from King's custody came after King allegedly gave Ritalin to one of her sons multiple times, even though the child had not been prescribed the medication by a doctor, according to the source, who also says that King allegedly asked a school nurse to administer the medication to her son.”

The People article, lol. Nobody knows what the actual facts are here. For me, that the kid has a history of serious behavioral issues strongly suggests he has a diagnosis and a prescription, albeit maybe not that bottle. It’s not like she was trying to hide it. In the spectrum of poor SN parenting, this seems like a bad choice on her part but very far from meriting any sort of permanent loss of custody unless there is more going on.

A source … allegedly… “the medication.” That says nothing about what he was diagnosed with or actually prescribed. The specific pill bottle seems to have not had his name on it. I think what you are missing is that the kid has a history of serious behavioral issues and Ritalin is extremely extremely common for that. I don’t know exactly what happened but so far sounds like a mistake and not abuse.

I am sure there is more going on. CPS doesn't remove the kids and order only supervised access over giving the child the right prescribed medication but from a different bottle. Additionally the guardian ad litem for the kids filed for and was granted a temporary restraining order against her.

It could also be the father disagreed with medicating and so did not consent. Who knows. Agree the situation could be more complicated, but no one with half a brain would ask a school nurse to administer medication that is not prescribed.

I thought about that possibility too. But the fact that the asked the nurse cuts both ways - she is not drugging the kid out of some Munchhausen by proxy plot or whatever. unless/until you have your own kid with serious behavioral or mental health issues, you can’t really judge.
