medicating a child with prescription medications is child abuse.[/quote]

I assume you mean using her meds on her child.  Giving a child the child's meds is appropriate.  But the Dr has to prescribe it for the child.  This is not the case in the thread, I understand.

yes, obviously, giving  drugs prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition that a doctor finds is not child abuse, frankly I am surprised I have to clarify this. actually, in some cases not giving drugs prescribged by a doctor can be child abuse, like if your child has diabetes and you refuse to treat the child with insuline (happened to poeple I know, doctors reported them to child protection service). my child has epilepsy, and we give her drugs every day, as her doctor prescribed.

this case is about a woman taking medications prescribed to her, and giving said medications to her child. this is abuse. woman has no interest in having child see by a doctor to determine whether child needs medications (or maybe other medications for a different condition). based on OP's account, this woman is unable to parent a child, and in order not to face her shortcomings and maybe get help with counseling, she tries to medicate the child to make her more docile. this is abuse, and very dangerous. drugs have side effects, even very serious, need to be given only when necessary and the pros are better than the cons, and under medical supervision. they cannot be a way to parent a child. have you heard of people putting alcohol in the milk for infants so they sleep or cry less? is that OK? this is the same thing.[/quote]
