Medical Kidnapping in the U.S. – Kidnapping Children for Drug Trials

Medical Kidnapping in the U.S. – Kidnapping Children for Drug Trials

War Crimes Tribunal at Nuremberg. Adolf Hitler’s personal physician, 43-year old Karl Brandt. Brandt was also Reich Commissar for Health and Sanitation, and was indicted by the U.S. prosecution with 22 other Nazi doctors. Brandt was found guilty of participating in and consenting to using concentration camp inmates as guinea pigs in horrible medical experiments, supposedly for the benefit of the armed forces. He was sentenced to death by hanging.

The U.S. federal government has mandated drug research with children. The need for children to participate in drug company research is high, and the temptation to overstep parental rights to force children to participate is great. Researchers publicly admit using money and other rewards to obtain participation of children in their drug trials.

Organizations that advocate for the rights of parents to make decisions regarding their children’s healthcare, are finding that foster children in CPS custody are being enrolled in drug experiments without parental approval. State Child Protective Services are enrolling children in drug experiments without parental approval or court orders.

There is a Shortage of Children for Drug Research Studies

In a 2011 article in the Journal Pediatrics, researchers discussed the problem of recruiting children for participation in clinical trials for drug testing. Researchers from Ohio State University (Columbus) and Case Western Reserve University, confirm that the US federal government is mandating that children be included in clinical research studies.

Dr. Tishler, PhD, and Dr. Staats Reiss, PhD stated:

Since 1994, federal guidelines have called for the inclusion of children in clinical studies. Related federal incentives and laws such as the “pediatric rule” (the Pediatric Research Equity Act) and the pediatric exclusivity provision have also been passed to increase the number of pediatric clinical trials launched by pharmaceutical companies. Despite these mandates, the allocations to pediatric clinical trials in federal and private research and development budgets have remained limited. In addition, pediatric researchers continue to experience difficulty locating children and families who are willing to enroll in clinical trials.

Recruitment for pediatric studies is hampered by several factors including ethical concerns with using children as subjects, regulatory oversight that is significantly more restrictive for child trials than for adult trials, a lack of research infrastructure, the need to obtain consent from parents, and the challenge of determining appropriate payments for participation that are not coercive.

CPS Violates Parental Consent and Freedom of Speech

There are two factors that normally limit child participation in medical and drug company research. The first is the requirement for parental consent. Children normally cannot participate unless a parent gives written consent. The second is the normal right that people have to publically speak out in situations where parents and their children are being coerced and compelled to participate in drug company experiments.

We would expect that these two constraining factors would keep children safe from becoming unwilling participants in drug research. However, there are situations in which state agencies are able to avoid both of these constraints and force children to become human guinea pigs.

The network of state operated child protective service agencies (CPS) routinely circumvent the rights of parents and children, and give permission for physicians/researchers to force children to participate in drug company experiments.

Children who are in the foster care system and who are under the control of Child Protective Services are easily targeted for involuntary inclusion in drug experimentation. Ideally, even if children are under CPS control, their natural parents should retain the right to give consent for medical treatment for their children whether it is routine or experimental.

In practice, however, once CPS steps into a family’s private life and takes children out of the home and places them in foster care, then parental oversight regarding the healthcare of their children is routinely violated. Because these cases are involved in State Juvenile or Family Courts (as opposed to Civil Courts), records are sealed and kept secret, supposedly to protect the children.

It’s Now All about “What is Best for the Child” – Not the Family

As reported by Steven R. Isham M.A., L.B.S.W, in a recent article published by Health Impact News and MedicalKidnap.com, children who are seized by CPS and placed into long term foster care do very poorly when compared to other children. Foster care is not usually a safe refuge for damaged children, which allows them to heal. Rather, foster care perpetuates the abusive and neglectful patterns in the lives of many children, which sets them up for long-term failure as adults.

Steven Isham reveals that former foster children rarely become productive citizens who are able to take care of themselves. He indicated that by age 25, 61 out of 100 former foster children will be unemployed, 24 out of 100 will be homeless, 64 out of 100 males will be incarcerated 32 out of 100 females will be incarcerated, and only 3 out of 100 will have been able to complete a four year college degree.

Congress Knows Children are being Abused in the CPS System -

When the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives met to examine this problem, Chairman Wally Herger, Representative from California made this statement:

Over the last 18 months, this Subcommittee has heard hearings about a number of issues affecting kids in the Federal, State child welfare programs, and this issue is like many of them: It has the potential for being explosive. The child welfare program in the richest, most powerful country in the world is, and has been, often an abysmal failure.

Now, we don’t need proof of more of that. We can give you all kinds of examples of it. We know about kids losing their lives in the child welfare system. Practically every State legislature every year deals with one case or another, and everybody wrings their hands, and the problems go on. The kids are sometimes locked up and sometimes starved under the supervision of the agencies. We know the children have been used without proper supervision for drug testing. (emphasis added)

CPS and Doctors are Kidnapping Children for Medical Research

In a letter written by Sharon Schuldt to the House committee that examined clinical drug testing on foster children, she gave us a serious warning. She wrote:

There was horrific disregard for humanity that took place in World War II Germany, some of which started out being directed toward the weak and vulnerable, in orphanages and hospitals, but then was directed to millions who lost their lives in the concentration camps. A society does not just lose their regard for human life overnight. It is a step at a time downward and soon that society slips further and faster downward. Many vowed, “Never Again.” We in the U.S. cannot and should not be allowing access to our children for medical research. There is no argument that justifies it!

If you ask me, I'd say that people putting out misinformation to demonize anything when they don't even have both sides of the story because legally--CPS can't divulge the reasons why those kids were taken in the first place. So everything you're putting out is crap based upon one side of the story.

Not to mention that you're demonizing foster care which is nothing more than a placement agency. You're attempting to create some link between what doctors are prescribing, then accusing the foster parents of "drugging the kids against their will". Your entire story is bullshit.

That's some real half-assed piss-poor reporting you're doing here and the only ones who believe it are those just as clueless as you are.


That video says absolutely nothing, but music and series of photo's.

What it amounts to is that this country has a shit-load of rotten parents who think just because they gave birth to that child that child has no rights and they can abuse that child all they want and no one should say a damn word about it because then it violates their freedom.

Who's rights are more important here--a grown adult or the children subject to horrific abuse because their biological parents have these "rights". No sir!! Someone has to watch over these babies and kids. If mistake are made along the way--then there'll be less of those than there will be babies and kids being sexually and physically abused because at least we'll have something in place.

Most of these low life biological parents are scum bags using their kids as a ticket for free housing, healthcare and drugs, while living in filthy hovels that aren't fit for animals, let alone human beings.

If you really want to do something worthwhile instead of demonizing the efforts to save these kids--then start a community effort or program that educates and works with these rotten parents to help them be what parents should be to children.

These foster parents in that video are the people you're demonizing as well as me. I know what I've done and accomplished and I'm no "exception" as you called me--there are thousands of wonderful foster parents making a huge difference in the lives of these kids that are not easy to care for because of what they've been through. If *anything at all*--these people are hero's to the cause of saving children from a life of pain and abuse.

KIDS FOR CASH is a riveting look behind the notorious scandal that rocked the nation when it first came to light in 2009. Beginning in the wake of the shootings at Columbine, a small town in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania elected a charismatic judge who was hell-bent on keeping kids in line. Under his reign, over 3,000 children were ripped from their families and imprisoned for years for crimes as petty as creating a fake MySpace page. When one parent dared to question this harsh brand of justice, it was revealed that the judge had received millions of dollars in payments from the privately-owned juvenile detention centers where the kids—most of them only in their early teens—were incarcerated.

Exposing the hidden scandal behind the headlines, KIDS FOR CASH unfolds like a real-life thriller. Charting the previously untold stories of the masterminds at the center of the scandal, the film reveals a shocking American secret told from the perspectives of the villains, the victims and the unsung heroes who helped uncover the scandal. In a major dramatic coup, the film features extensive, exclusive access to the judges behind the scheme. Now serving a 28 year sentence in federal prison, the former juvenile court judge at the heart of the scandal shares his ulterior motives, revealing that his attorneys never knew about his interviews for this film.

So what does one crooked state judge who was trying to fill a detention center for his crooked friend who built them-- have to do with foster care or even CPS for that matter? Evidently he got caught and served time in prison for it. Again--what does foster care or the CPS have to do with that?

BTW, state judges are easily bought--goes on all of the time--so what's new here?

Did you just answer your first question with your second question?

Obviously not every local CPS agency is crooked, but the continual increases in authority, reach and federal funding makes it opportunistic and difficult for local communities to control.

I agree with created4 that there shouldn't be the kind of federal funding there is available for this kind of crap. He wants to abolish the only thing we have right now that's saving babies and kids from horrific abuse because there's crooks taking advantage of this federal funding. It's crazy to go after foster care which is nothing more than a placement agency who have nothing to do with any drugs that are prescribed by doctors and pediatricians. All foster care is are families and homes that take these kids in after CPS has removed them for some kind of neglect or abuse.

These agencies are not perfect--they do screw up and make bad mistakes, but it's the only thing we have right now to protect these children. We're not talking government funding or anything else--we're talking about kids that will die and are dying at the hands of their abusers at this very moment.

If created4 wants to do something noble and have some agenda and cause---instead of attacking the one good thing that government is doing by protecting the children is go after their rotten unfit parents who are using these kids to support their drug addicted, filthy and abusive lifestyles who are living off the government using their own children as tickets for free housing, healthcare, food and drugs. Or he should start attacking other abuses of government funding that's going into the pockets of people collecting welfare and government benefits that can work, but instead are collecting just because they can. Yeah--go after those assholes instead of the only thing we have protecting the kids.

 

[Terry1]

Here's what Created4 should be going after and with a vengeance are people abusing the SS and disability system. I'm sure we have some of these amongst RPF's.
