They can do this because they are on the side of Children and
Youth.Contact me back and I will tell you my story but here is
a brief idea of what they did to my daughter who they removed
at the age of 15.They put her on dangerous psychotropic
medication that has FDA warnings about them being dangerous
and saying it could cause children to attempt suicide,some
have actually succeeded in committing suicide against my
wishes,they allowed a 14 year old they claim was already
suicidal to sing for her own medication and when I tried to
fight they actually said I was mentally unstable.Bottom
line,my daughter attempted suicide once with the very
medication they allowed her to have access to and attempted
suicide right after they put her on the medication so she made
2 suicide attempts while under the medication they claim she
needed.The doctor who put her on it Dr.Steven Riggall at
Sharon Regional Hospital in Sharon,Pa. was involved in a
controversy with another patient of his that right after his
treatment which was prescribing psychotropic medications the
guy went completely nuts and ended up in jail for going on a
shooting spree firing at anything he could.Get this though
Lawrence County Children and Youth put in court documents to
the judge that my daughter made several suicide attempts and
cited my home as the problem while it was actually the
medication they put my daughter on that caused her
behavior.She attempted suicide 3 times while in their care by
the way.I will be honest nobody wants to go up against
Children and Youth and the state of Pennsylvania does not care
what they do they stand behind them.
I have tried every back door I could to nail Children and
Youth,District Attorney's in the county it's in.The Judge
himself,the people in Pittsburgh that are responsible for
monitoring their activities etc.. It got me nowhere.They all
covered for each other and I received threat letters and
everything.They even lied to the judge about a fake witness
list with supposed state troopers on the list that were going
to testify against me and they never had a list or had an
agreement with any state troopers.
