Scientists have recently concluded that children who are verbally and/or physically abused, suffer brain-wave damage to the brain's major information pathways.

This damage fundamentally alters their mental capacity and their personality, affecting emotion, attention, and the regulation of the limbic system.

These are only some of the many consequences spawned by cruelty towards children. I guess one could compare such cruelty to dropping a computer out of a 4-story window and then expecting it to work the way "it ought to".

There actually exist many individuals who like to call this
"SOCIALIZING ONE'S COMPUTER"

(or one's children)

The many ways in which we abuse our children, will be looked back on by future generations as having been a time of profound ignorance and barbaric behavior towards our own, defenseless, offspring.

Children have little support, no recourse, and few genuine advocates.
They have to "take it".
They can't fight back.
Surrounded by all-powerful giants who can shake, throw, ridicule, punish and drug them with impunity..........they are made to feel an indescribable terror. When these same all-powerful giants then also profess to love them and order the children to return that love and to promise to obey the often irrational demands made on them.....they're being conditioned to experience the severely conflicting emotions of
need.....versus.....fear
love.....versus.....hate
and
safety.....versus.....danger

Is it any wonder then, that so many children try to escape such emotional cauldrons by numbing themselves with depression, confusion, eratic behavior, physical agitation, and any other defense that can prevent them from exploding into catastrophic acts of violence against others or against themselves?

Childhood should be a time of being protected,
hugged, and cared for.
Of having the freedom to play.
Of experiencing love, security, stability, and a strong sense of belonging.

Why is it so often not that?

Why are there so many mothers, fathers, teachers and other cowardly adults, who get a kick out of abusing small, totally dependent human beings who can't fight back?





Often, after having terrorized their children into becoming confused, restless, agitated little people, adults then declare them to be suffering from a fabricated disease called ADHD, and conspire to further modify their personalities, by forcing them to ingest the addictive, brain-destroying pharmaceutical products that are supposed to "cure" them.

Here's a very informative website maintained by the parents of a child that's believed to have died of Ritalin poisoning
and
here's a fine article titled "The Ritalin Sham".

According to The American Journal of Psychiatry, researchers have finally determined what any sane, intelligent individual has known for a long time -- which is that "speed" or methamphetamines cause long-term brain damage.

Throughout our nation, millions of normal, healthy children are taking amphetamine-containing pills designed to keep them quiet in the classroom and to generally get rowdy little boys to behave more like demure little girls.

The barbaric drugging of our children constitutes an extreme in State-sanctioned child abuse. For those who wish to inform themselves further, I highly recommend Dr. Breggin's many articles about this matter.





I find it so ironic, that adults once used to point at Popeye The Sailor and tell little boys that if they'd eat enough spinach, they'd grow up to be big and strong and powerful like him.
What a contrast to today's insanity of telling them they're suffering from a fake disease that requires them to swallow pills which will destroy their strength..........and then, when they've become truly agitated as a result of all this accusing and medicating and they can no longer fall asleep......... they're being re-medicated with sedatives designed to bring them down from the high of the original drug that was supposed to "cure" them.

What kind of society turns its children into drug addicts?

What kind of society then waits till they grow up and begin to purchase their own drugs from dealers..........to then arrest and imprison them for using the exact same "medications" that were once forced on them by their own parents, counselors, and physicians?

Here's a really good website maintained
by parents who have begun to put a stop to the
mandatory screening and drugging of their children.







Providing temporary pharmaceutical relief while never addressing the cause of a symptom, will temporarily obscure a child's restless despair, while at the same time driving such despair deeper into its psyche and into its body, where it will continue to fester. It must eventually re-surface, however, and when it does, it will often display a more serious and more entrenched form of the initial disturbance.

The human system is predisposed to heal itself, a process that's seriously inhibited by unhealthy foods, psychological toxins, and poisonous drugs.

Instead of keeping the focus on a convenient and assumed pathology of our children, it might be better to examine the failure of many mothers, fathers, educators and other adults, to provide the kind of loving, compassionate surroundings that would create a totally safe environment for those who are placed in their care.

Could it be that some of our schools and parents practice

SAFETY DEPRIVATION

thereby causing our children to become
hyper-vigilant?







Should there be a law
that requires parents and other adults
to protect children against anxiety-provoking
situations caused by violence or the fear of potential violence
from animals, siblings, and bullies?
