The Connection Between Psychiatric Practices And Murder
CCHR's website documents that in addition to the "Sandy Hook Elementary School" massacre, at least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs, resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed
Online, March 24, 2013 (Newswire.com) - CCHR announces its support for two Connecticut mothers, Sheila Mathews and Patricia Sabato, of the national parents' rights organization Able Child, who garnered hundreds of signatures from Sandy Hook residents backing the need for the Connecticut Medical Examiner Wayne Carver to release the toxicology reports of Adam Lanza - to determine whether Lanza was yet another in a long list of school shooters under the influence of psychiatric drugs.
Two Connecticut mothers, Sheila Matthews, co-founder of AbleChild, a national parents' rights organization, and Newtown resident, Patricia Sabato, recently took to the streets of Newtown, connecting with local residents and gathering signatures on a petition that requests the release of the complete autopsy/toxicology results and medical/psychiatric records of alleged shooter, Adam Lanza. It asks a simple but essential question-did prescription psychiatric drugs play a role in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting?
To back up the need for full disclosure of Lanza's records, the petition points out the undisputed fact that twenty two international drug regulatory warnings have been issued on psychiatric drugs which cited side effects of mania, psychosis, aggression, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation
The Los Angeles Times article, "Adam Lanza's family had kept a watchful eye on him," cited sources who say Lanza had been 'medicated' as early as age 10. WFSB Eyewitness News, a Connecticut CBS affiliate, reported on Dec. 19th in the article, "Adam Lanza underwent psych evaluations in years past," that Adam Lanza "had some disorders" and Eyewitness News learned that Lanza "did undergo some sort of psychiatric evaluation sometime within the past few years."
CCHR's website documents that in addition to the "Sandy Hook Elementary School" massacre, at least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs, resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed. It also lists 22 international drug regulatory warnings that have been issued on psychiatric drugs causing side effects of mania, psychosis, aggression, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation, yet there has never been a federal investigation into psychiatric drugs and acts of senseless violence
