In July last year, I started on PARKINSON DISEASE TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Natural Herbs Centre One month into the treatment, I made a significant recovery. After I completed the recommended treatment, almost all my symptoms were gone, great improvement with my movement and balance. Its been a year, life has been amazing

In reply to Christine McComas.

Ms. McComas, my deepest condolences for the incomprehensibly tragic loss of your daughter — and thank *you* for all that you’re doing to save other children’s lives & save their parents from such grief. There is indeed a paradox at play, but it all boils down to how social media is used. And you’re using it for good. So, again, thank you, and may your important work continue to pull legislators together (despite all the dysfunction out there) and enact true change.

Thank you for all you’re dong, Christine. Please tell us how we may help you. Most definitely, ending the forced and coerced psych drugging of children, and innocent adults, is imperative.

For goodness sakes, my former religion’s pedestrians and psychologists, et al (like the owners of the ELCA hospitals, which is the ELCA religion) think such crimes against children are “too profitable” to end.

Thank you for this and my condolences on the loss of your husband to suicide- so very difficult. I am the mother of Grace, whom you mentioned in the article, and one of the members of Parents for Safe Online Spaces.
Our family advocacy, almost immediately after she died in 2012 was done through her memorial page on Facebook. I wa totally aware of the paradox of social media,
which allowed malicious, death-wishing cyber abuse to haunt my child was also allowing me to receive care and support from people in getting Maryland’s Grace’s Law Against Cyberbullying passed less than a year after her death, and updated and passed again (Grace’s Law 2.0 in 2019 to keep up with the digital dangers like sextortion, suicide baiting, etc
I attended the Senate Hearing on Capitol Hill recently where Zuckerberg and other Big Tech CEOs were called to account for their harms to children. Happy to report that Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) now has 62 senators signed on as co-sponsors, and seems likely to pass…but then, on to the very legislatively-challenged House….so working at the state level too.
Recent CNN interview that may help people better understand the need:

“aside from your censor adults beliefs,” should be changed from “aside from your censor adults’ beliefs,” to a change to respecting the well researched, legitimate concerns of adults, and loving moms.

Amy,

As one who is being censored from pointing out that the antipsychotics / neuroleptics can create both the positive and negative symptoms of so called “schizophrenia,” via both anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit disorder – by all but MiA, but MiA is not making this sad reality more clear.

I’m rather saddened that your blog ends with your belief that the need to further censor all, is a good idea.

Albeit, as a mom who refused to give my children smart phones at a very early age – and has two children who are doing quite well (one was a Phi Beta Kappa recipient, who is now getting an another award, for his local community activism; and the other just had a successful presentation of ideas, regarding his doctorate).

Albeit, I will admit, both my children would be considered to be within a “marginalized community.” Albeit, so would I, since I am a mother who stands 100% against the systemic child abuse covering up crimes, of the scientifically “invalid” “mental health professionals,” and their religious “partners.”

Nonetheless, aside from your censor adults beliefs, I do largely agree with your concerns regarding social media and children.
