Personally, I think those that would dose children with Luvox and Prozac need to be dosed themselves for partaking in behavior management, Soviet-style.

Because back in the day kids actually had a family. It is a lot different now then it was back then. Not that I am agreeing with this study, as I don't think drugging kids up is the answer either. But looking at my students now, they have a lot more problems than I ever had.
I agree. But I am totally against these drugs (although in very rare cases there is probably no other way). Still I think it's quite scary how easily drugs and medications are available nowadays
Sometimes it is necessary like you said, but sometimes parents use drugs to take the place of actually parenting their children. I don't know if that makes sense, but you are right as it is sad and scary.
