If the judge & parents neither one approved the meds he was taking, where did they come from?

Even though I am not fully aware of this entire situation, I have to agree with David. Why has it taken 5 years for them to start talking about this? This system is like the animal control system…full of abuse and no solutions. While I am sure there are some good foster parents out there I know there are others that are not. And I know the system is not a good one.

I have a difficult time believing that a child of this age, would/ could Hang Himself. I would bet that there is by far more to this case than we are being told. The entire system for Children is a FAILURE. Social Workers are overworked, and they system in many cases, places the child right back into the dangers they removed the child from.

People ought to do some serious internet reading and research before you attach this “ball and chain, blood sucking leach” FOR PROFIT organization through all of their interlooped referal programs,to any probaly already under-privledged strugling young American family that you suposedly care about. You only thought-think that our health care system needs reformation. Countless state social workers and many other unintellectual presiding officers of the court are already serving prision and jail sentencing for failure of Fiduciary Duties, Extrinsic Fruadulent Acts, Missuse of Special Skills and “ABUSES OF TRUST”. FAILURE FAILURE FAILURE resulting to DRUGING innocent vulnerable children. Completely understandable that in this deteriorating moral and ethical society that there are undeniable families that need help or some type of intervention. In MORE cases than not DCF and its affiliates have become easily accessible TOOLS for a cowerdly protected “Anonymous” 1-800# calling torturous,malice, recidivus. Personally know of a situation where a young family with 5 beautiful kids filed suit against local FDCF in Federal Court and leave to proceed was granted, meaning that a Federal lawsuit was ongoing. Durring that time a “tip” to the 1-800# child abuse hotline, remember callers idenity is protected, reported that this young, beautiful family, strugling in some aspects of life, is “SELLING THIER CHILDREN FOR DRUGS”. WOW… What happens subsiquently is this family stands trial in this local backward backwoods good ole boy local level court setting. PERSECUTAED by broken “oaths” without any real relavent factual findings and only fake sham testimony of “WANTON TORT” from foe adversaries. GOD forbid that this be that this be the final chapter in this young familys’ existance. Whatever hurdles laid front of them, now is a prolific myraid of complexities.

I don’t believe that this boy killed himself. I’ve been a mom for 31 years and was the “kool ade” mom of the neighborhood. I just don’t think that a 7 year old is capable of hanging themselves.

I have a problem with a system that 5 years later is no better off- with the comment like ““I think we’re a lot better. I think we’re a lot better than most states,” said Robin Rosenberg, deputy director of Florida’s Children”
That statement in itself also says we are worse off than many states in itself by that comment.
You dont grade yourself against the “other states” as a witch hunt conclusion that you are heading in the right direction.
Its like saying, ” at least my truck dont run like a Ford as an example– ” and not really address “how good are we supposed to run?”

You grade by results- not by each state.
I am offended by the comments-”Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford, in a work plan for the session, said they hoped to fully fund the program over the next several years.”

Ok, 5 years have passed and you are doing a ” work plan”
Did you just wake up 5 years later and decide election year is coming so I need to toot my horn like I have not the past 5 years.

I see a long past 5 years and no one has done anything but ” make recommendations, give personal input and commit a ton of money for the past 5 years coming into paychecks ..to simply say ” we did studies–but we did nothing–we found we need money- and you dont want to give it up– you gave back yard percentages and ratios and you still have not done a ^%$%$ thing but talk talk talk.

Therein lies the problem.
5 years ago our state started running its mouth and flapping its gums—and 5 years today you are still ” talking”

Now do you know after this what the real problem is concerning ” recommendations, and being in a coma for the past 5 years…and not doing
