Dr. Fernando Siles, a child psychiatrist(精神病医师) who treats children on Medicaid in Texas and has written thousands of prescriptions for such drugs, told Werner he doesn’t have a lot of other options. He said children from troubled homes often have anger and aggression issues and he often prescribes drugs to “contain” their behavior so they won’t get bounced(反弹) from foster home to foster home.
Werner's reporting also turned up the troubling case of a four-year-old boy who was put on four different psychiatric medications in the foster care system. When his grandmother gained custody(监护权) a year later, she said the boy seemed like a completely different child since he has taken all the drugs. But he still has frightening dreams at the age of 10.
Werner reports a number of states, including Texas, have taken steps to reduce the use of these drugs in foster children. But experts say more progress is needed, along with greater oversight of the system.
