Here in New Brunswick, Canada, with a population of less than 1M, we have 48,000 on Ritalin. The government is "looking into" this at present.
Any comments on this one? I know of a child who is on Ritalin because his mother, a single, unemployable (that's right, read on) mom, is so overweight that she cannot control the child. Think about that for a minute before you comment. Seriously, do they drug the child, who is essentially a normal 8 year old boy, or do they take the child away from her?
