Your attitude is frightening. You obviously know very little about why children are given medication. Instead of being influenced by hollywood's portrayal, visit a child psy unit, maybe then you'd have a clue. Ritalin is not child abuse, there are thousands of children who can now function and focus because of it. If you want to advocate for children, I applaud you, but expend your energy preventing child abuse THAT is the main precedant to mental health problems in kids. Leave meds and treatment to those of us who actually know what we are talking about.
