    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.
