So the point is that youth protection scandals involving experimenting with medication on unwilling children are rare anywhere ? (even with the youth protection officials getting paid for it)
Ok let's check. Did youth protection do medical experiments on unwilling patients (and by that we mean that BOTH the child and the parent were not asked for permission, and very often not informed at all):
US: aside from this incident, there have been many others [3], including youth protection services specifically [5]
Netherlands: yep (and the officials got paid by Janssens Pharmaceutica) [1]
Belgium: yes [2]
Germany/Austria: jawohl [4]
And if you consider untried psychological treatments as medical experiments as well, and they can certainly have extreme negative consequence, then we should perhaps just say that every kid in youth protection gets experimented on, as this is very close to the truth.
If you think this is the worst they did, you should not Google "aversion therapy LGBTQ youth protection". That was a psychological "treatment" for not being straight that included torture, on purpose. Note that they still treat unwilling children for not being straight. Google "Gender identity disorder treatments" for example. What any sane person would call torture is still being used (ABA, for example).
And let's not forget what ritalin, official treatment for a whole range of (often misdiagnosed) conditions given to children. It is often compared to cocaine, for good reason.
Nobody can be trusted with power over other people's children. Certainly not psychiatrists, who have a LONG history of abuse centuries old, with essentially constant scandals continuing even today.
