In the Words of
Diane Booth
2001:
"America will never
free themselves of terrorists until they eliminate
the terrorists within
their own system. God will NEVER bless America
when America tortures its own children and citizens."
Diane Booth's
Journey best Summarized by
California State
Assemblyman (R-District 59)
Dennis Mountjoy:
"Parents have fled the
country, gone to jail, moved their children out of
state. They have been falsely labeled as child abusers
and they have
seen their children
institutionalized - all because they have refused to
allow them to be subjected to powerful and dangerous
drugs," Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy, R-Monrovia, said.
"The scenario is all too common: a teacher or school
counselor with no medical training 'diagnoses' a child
as suffering from a psychiatric disorder. School
officials tell parents they must allow the child to be
treated with a dangerous drug. The parents refuse. They
are classified
as child abusers and
threatened with losing their children if they don't go
along with this destructive program," continued
Assemblyman Mountjoy.
Assemblyman Mountjoy's
Bill, AB 1424, will ensure that other parents do not
suffer the same torment as Diane Booth, an East Bay
mother.
Ms. Booth lost her son
Vincent in a battle over forced drugging. In 1999,
school officials told her that the boy, then 7, suffered
from ADHD, and
they demanded that she allow
Vincent to be drugged. When Ms. Booth refused, she was
put on the list of child abusers and her son was forced
into an institution where he was drugged and physically
abused, she said.
Ms. Booth contrived to get her son back and fled to
Canada with him. They were tracked down there. Vincent
was sent back to an institution and his mother was
jailed. She was released after several months,
penniless. Rather than face more time in jail, she again
fled to Canada, this time without her son. In fact, she
has not been allowed to even communicate with him.

Referring to
Congressman Ron Paul's article titled
“Don’t
Let Congress Fund Orwellian Psychiatric Screening of
Kids” dated 01/31/05, Dr. Paul states: (Check

Annie Armen's Interview with
Congressman Ron Paul on
Dangers
of Psychiatric Drugs 10)
“Forced mental health screening simply has no place in a
free or decent society. The government does not own you
or your kids, and it has no legitimate authority to
interfere in your family’s intimate health matters.
Psychiatric diagnoses are inherently subjective, and the
drugs regularly prescribed produce serious side effects,
especially in children’s
developing brains. The
bottom line is that mental health issues are a matter
for parents, children, and their doctors, not
government.”

"No where is
there a test, or we can find, demonstrate, or prove that
ADD / ADHD are actually diseases. ADD/ADHD are fraudulent diseases." He then further states that
"every
drug is a foreign chemical compound, and therefore a
poison. These are dangerous drugs, and are highly
addictive. These drugs can cause cardiac deaths, brain
shrinkage, suicidal depression, and more...The entire country,
including all 5-7 million with the ADHD diagnosis
today, have been deceived and victimized; deprived of
their informed consent rights and drugged – for PROFIT! It must be stopped. Now!”

“Another lamentable development is the claim that
millions of children suffer from a mental illness called
"attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" (ADHD) and
that Ritalin -- administered to the child often
against the will of the parent -- is a treatment for it.
Of course, it is
always administered against the will of the child. What
child wants to be stigmatized as crazy? When school
authorities tell a mother that her son is sick and needs
to be on drugs, how is she to know that that's a lie?
How is she to know that what experts call Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is not a disease? … She
is not an expert in the history of psychiatry. She does
not know that psychiatrists have always used diagnostic
terms to stigmatize and control people”
“No behavior
or misbehavior is a disease or can be a disease. There
is no mental disease. Period.”
“Labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization, not
diagnosis. Giving
a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning, not treatment.”
”Adults have physical and political power over children.
This is why sexual relations between adults and children
are outlawed and the act is called "statutory rape." For
the same reason, we ought to outlaw psychiatric
relations between adults and children and call child
psychiatry by its correct name, "psychiatric rape."
”Child psychiatry -- like all of psychiatric slavery --
cannot be reformed.
It must be abolished.”
A tribute to Dr. Loren Mosher, (1933 – 2004)
Psychiatrist of integrity – former Chief of The National
Institute of Mental Health’s Center for the Study of
Schizophrenia, who boldly stated: “… why must the APA
pretend to know more than it does? DSM IV (the fourth
edition) is the fabrication upon which psychiatry seeks
acceptance by medicine in general. … DSM-IV has become a
bible and a money making best seller – its major
failings notwithstanding… The issue is what do the
categories tell us? Do they in fact accurately represent
the person with the problem? They don’t and can’t,
because there are no external validating criteria for
psychiatric diagnoses.”
In the words of Author
Beverly Eakman with reference to Ritalin
(President National Education
Consortium 2001), “children are being forced to take
a drug that is stronger than cocaine for a disease that
is yet to be proven.”
Annie Armen writes:
"Our populace is being conditioned to believe that any
slight issue of discomfort, whether emotional, physical,
and/or psychological has solutions neatly bottled up in
the form of prescribed, quick fix meds. In a way, the
Big Pharma has become the 31 ‘med prescribed’ flavors
for trumped-up fraudulent disorders. As unique beings,
fight for your identities, for your minds, for your
fundamental human rights!”
