I watched this and it broke my heart. These kids have no advocates for them.
On a personal note, my nephew is now 13 years old and his mother (I think she is bat sh*t crazy anyway but...) has had him on psychopathic drugs since he was about 6 years old. She sees something and will shop him around to doctors until she finally finds one that agrees with her and will put him on some medication. He takes bi-polar meds, sleeping pills, pep pills, and ADHD meds and honestly, I don't think he needs any of it. For example, when he was 7 years old, she said that he never listens to her so he must have ADHD (never mind that she never disciplines him) so she shopped him around from doctor to doctor until someone agreed and put him on a medication.
That behavior is from someone WITH a mom, so I can't imagine what foster kids go through - I'm sure drugs are thrown at them from every angle.
