[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s reported she was giving her son, 7, I believe the one who was being treated for CP, Ritalin that was not prescribed to him and gave it to the school nurse to administer.

If that's true, that's nuts and she is lacking a basic common sense gene.[/quote]
People is now reporting the drug usage:

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. [/quote]
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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
Exactly. The PP defending her is making a really weird choice here. [/quote]

No, I am pointing out the insinuation that she is “drugging” her kid such that they will be permanently removed from her custody is a huge stretch. There is a lot of documentation that the child has behavioral and cognitive issues, of the type that a stimulant prescription would be totally normal. I don’t know what exactly she did with this particular bottle of meds but we also know that there is a very low barrier to call CPS and also that her ex is an *sshole. Maybe she has something else going on that makes her an unfit parent, and yes, giving her child someone else’s prescription was dumb. But there is no indication the child was harmed in any way. It sounds like she needs more supports in parenting 3 young kids, one of whom has significant SN. [/quote]
First of all, giving your kid illegal drugs is a huge deal - why the quotes around drugging? No one said she is permanently losing custody. It’s been said multiple times that it’s temporary. And why are you constantly bringing up Jim? Jim is not the one that called CPS?[/quote]

Thousands of parents give their kids Ritalin …[/quote]
