Lisa:
Have you heard that getting kids on Ritalen marks them as "special
needs"
and gets the Fosters much more money? That is why so
many Foster kids have been put in "chemical straight jackets".
Ask Dono, Dano and Rono!

I hope you aren't going to move from 'have you met Betty' to imply, or
stating, that this thread has a damn thing to do with me.
I don't have any kids in foster care, no one gets paid by the state to take
care of mine.
I have one child who lives with me...alternative care...not foster care, and
the state sends me a whopping $138 mo to take care of him.
LOL That doesn't even cover the food he eats.
Oh yeah...and he's not on Ritalin.

Jump in a lake momma's paramour.

You are perpetuating a myth, Greg. The prescribing of psychotropics does
no such thing. In fact it could remove special rates because the child
is now manageable, less destructive, and requires less close supervision.

You propagandist liars are all the same. Illogical and fact disabled.

Special rates are paid for MORE supervision and risk, not for an easier
to maintain child.

Yep. That does happen. That's why these children are supposed to be
monitored. Apparently he was.

Properly Rx'd psychotropics can be a life saver for a child. As well as
make his or her life not just bearable, but joyful and productive.

Kids with some behavioral Dx are miserable and hate how they are.

Some nothing would work for.

And some are misDx'd.

The lie is that Foster's routinely get more money for a kid on Ritalin.
In fact it's likely to work against keeping special rates monies as the
child is now LESS difficult to parent and maintain.

The foster's don't just hop in and say, "I've got a difficult kid here,"
and get handed a big whopping check. It has to be proven. Both by the
testimony of the FP, but usually a nurse or other authority that
observes and evaluates. They set the rate, actually. On a scale as to
how much special care the child actually NEEDS from the FP.

Easier child, lower rate. Child within the "norm" as to parenting
practices ...NO special rate.

Greg? Oh GREEEGOOOOOR!

In the post following this one you seemed more focused on the names
questions, "It's a joke," than on the subject above.

Why do you bring up a subject, then when you get slammed fail to
respond, not admit you are wrong, or not provide counter arguments?

Speak to the issue YOU bring up, Greg, until they are exhausted, or you
admit you are wrong.

In the meantime, we'll presume that everytime you dodge like this, you
have admitted you are wrong, a liar, a fool, and a dupe for
propagandists?

Fair?
