'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother': A Mom's Perspective On The Drugs

The child drugging people at NAMI must have put out this one, of course. After all people are starting to find out like all the school shooters were on the drugs already and child drugging is starting to get looked at.

This "I am Adam Lanza's mother" reads just like NAMIs pro child drugging
agenda.

Read this trash , "I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza’s mother. I am Dylan Klebold’s and Eric Harris’s mother. I am James Holmes’s mother. I am Jared Loughner’s mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho’s mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness."

Who are you ? Are you a big pharma or NAMI ghost writer ? Your not Adam Lanza's mother ! You must be a NAMI drug pusher. I would bet on it.

Here is a link to the "I am Adam Lanza's mother" Likely NAMI (National Alliance For Mental Illness) propaganda.

Here is the truth about NAMI,

As we noted in April, NAMI gets a significant portion of its funding from pharmaceutical companies. We had to guess at what that percentage was, however, because the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) refused to detail their pharmaceutical grants and donations in their annual reports and IRS filings.

At the time, I was generous and said that it’s likely that 30 to 50 percent of NAMI’s funding came from pharmaceutical companies. I was off. Way off.

The New York Times reported yesterday that nearly 75 percent of NAMI’s donations come from pharmaceutical companies — $23 million over 3 years’ time:

Great find Copy_Cat - it is impossible to think for a minute that NAMI is not bought out with that kind of money. If I were a drug company that is making contributions on my own dime, I'd be damned sure that I would be paid back. It is foolish to think that the drug companies are not in this for money. They are companies! Their job is to make money. Right?

Great post.

'You Are Not Adam Lanza's Mother' reply sparks ire, applause

I will paste the whole thing and a link. Great reply to the NAMI 'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother' thing.

1) The suggestion that this woman’s son is of the same type of person who would or will commit a “rage murder”, without any real evidence to back up this suggestion.

2) The article doesn’t divulge, or even acknowledge, that its subject might have his own perspectives, beliefs and motivations that are worth mentioning. His mother’s perspective, mainly on his ‘evil eyes’ with their ‘calculated pupils’ is the only one given. Thus the child is presented solely as a problem, or at best, as a two-dimensional contradiction of his “behavioural problems” and his “intelligence” and not as a person with any more than shallow emotions. By reducing ‘mental illness’ to ‘outward behaviour’ the article dehumanises the mentally ill and completely glosses over the inner mental life and experiences of those with mental illness.

3) The article complains about mental illness stigma while reinforcing it by explicitly tying it to violence, and in particular, mass killings. The reality is that there is no such observed link: “after analysing a number of killers, Mullen concludes, ‘they had personality problems and were, to put it mildly, deeply troubled people.’ But he goes on to add: ‘Most perpetrators of autogenic massacres do not, however, appear to have active psychotic symptoms at the time and very few even have histories of prior contact with mental health services.’” And most people with mental illness are not violent, although they are far more likely to be victims of crime (see here, for instance).

4) The article, with this link established, implies a desire to stop violent crime allegedly perpetrated by those with mental illness should motivate better care and provision for those with mental illness, and not, say, the lower life expectancy, unemployment, isolation, suicidality, homelessness, victimization or in general the suffering endured by those with it. The continual disregard for this reality perpetuates stigma on all levels of society and further exposes those with mental illness to harm.

5) Antipsychotics and antidepressants are not designed for children and most of them are not indicated for disruptive behaviour in children. Zyprexa, the prescription given to the child in the article, is not indicated for disruptive behaviour or autism in the US. This sort of willy-nilly prescribing with little real knowledge of or regard for the long-term consequences, particularly for those whose brains are not fully developed yet, is potentially extremely damaging, and it’s not unlikely that a forever-changing cocktail of unwise psychotropic prescriptions contributes to worsening psychological problems. However, there is no criticism of psychiatric or pharmaceutical practice in the article: merely a cry for more of the same.

6) You are NOT Adam Lanza’s mother. The sort of quasi-solidarity expressed in “We are [oppressed people]” or “I am [dead person]” appropriates the experiences of people who are unheard, in this case the victim of a mass homicide, and uses that to bolster a narrative that doesn’t even attempt to discover or represent the experiences of those they claim to speak for. Don’t do that.

Thanks for posting the link. Just read it. Very powerful.

A Challenge to “I Am Adam Lanza’s Mother”

December 18, 2012
A reaction to Liza Long’s article from the Huffington Post Online, December 16th, 2012.

On the Madinamerica site https://www.madinamerica.com/2012/12/a-challenge-to-i-am-adam-lanzas-mother/

Im not going to copy cat it so click the link to check it out. Well, I have to copy cat a little.

"As I write these words on a Monday evening, my spirit aches. It aches with grief for the lives lost in Connecticut last week; it aches with dread for our collective American future in Sandy Hook’s aftermath; and it aches with love and empathy for Michael, a thirteen-year old boy whose once private life has, for the last day and a half, been on display for millions to see, exploited by a mother whose opinions are representative of America’s most pervasive mass delusion: that “mental illness” is a biologically-based condition requiring psychopharmaceutical “treatment” and “mental health care”, and that “the mentally ill” are a class of Other that threatens the safety, security, and health of America... "

Nicely copied - good find!

Again, great story, thanks

I should have pasted more of the "I am Adam Lanza mother original" , Im back cause this crap is still on T.V.

Here is quote from it.

Three days before 20 year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, then opened fire on a classroom full of Connecticut kindergartners, my 13-year old son Michael (name changed) missed his bus because he was wearing the wrong color pants.

“I can wear these pants,” he said, his tone increasingly belligerent, the black-hole pupils of his eyes swallowing the blue irises.

“They are navy blue,” I told him. “Your school’s dress code says black or khaki pants only.”

“They told me I could wear these,” he insisted. “You’re a stupid bitch. I can wear whatever pants I want to. This is America. I have rights!”

“You can’t wear whatever pants you want to,” I said, my tone affable, reasonable. “And you definitely cannot call me a stupid bitch. You’re grounded from electronics for the rest of the day. Now get in the car, and I will take you to school.”

I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me.

A few weeks ago, Michael pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and then himself after I asked him to return his overdue library books. His 7 and 9 year old siblings knew the safety plan—they ran to the car and locked the doors before I even asked them to. I managed to get the knife from Michael, then methodically collected all the sharp objects in the house into a single Tupperware container that now travels with me. Through it all, he continued to scream insults at me and threaten to kill or hurt me.

That conflict ended with three burly police officers and a paramedic wrestling my son onto a gurney for an expensive ambulance ride to the local emergency room. The mental hospital didn’t have any beds that day, and Michael calmed down nicely in the ER, so they sent us home with a prescription for Zyprexa and a follow-up visit with a local pediatric psychiatrist.

I like that kid . "This is America. I have rights!” Does he realy need drugging ?

If you could see me read this as I dont like this this woman, the black-hole of my pupils swallowing the green irises that encase them as they read the name of the poison you gave your child Zyprexa

I bet that kid is just fine at school and is only like that with YOU and only YOU in Your house with his nut case mother the anarchist soccer mom. A screwball.

Unlike readers of your online spam, who don't know any better, I have read forums and posts by you and the other NAMI moms who are always reporting " its only at home " and then reply back to each other "my kids like that 2, He she is fine at school its when he gets home..."

Then you all reasure each other thats a symptom of the disease ! A "home only" disease. Then followed by the question "What do you drug your kid with ???" Name it , then descibe how painful it was for the child and didnt "work" and the drug combo coming next.

Mabey you are ADAM Lanzas Mother...

From what was put in this article, I can tell you the first problem I spotted. Just because he "calmed down" and they gave him some drug, they sent him home. He was clearly troubled and needed more help than just some chemical into his body. Perhaps he needed to talk things out? It seems like there was an internal logic behind his actions, while not right nor excuseable, that's not what I mean, but the reasons why people do what they do, often reveal what could've been done to help them before it came to this.

This is how I see it. In general, I was appalled by the overall tone of that article (I am Adam Lanza's mother). She describes her son in a very objectifying way. She doesn't seem to ever have cared about how he felt, what he was thinking about, what he needed. Not once she mentions if she ever tried to talk to him, to understand him and to connect with him. All we know is that he was supposedly abnormal since he was born. Sorry, but she gives too little factual information for me to believe this. I feel that she is not telling the whole story. I'd like to know at what age her son started to behave the way she describes, how it started and what she did about it except getting him medicated right away. I don't believe that one fine day when he was little he started yelling that he'd kill her all of a sudden. This is BS. Things like that just don't happen. In order for a kid to behave the way she described some external circumstances have to contribute or be a direct cause of his behavior. If she was forcing him to take meds and was taking him to all those twisted doctors and institutions since he was little, that might have just been the reason for the poor kid to develop his conditions. I would not be surprised if that's exactly what happened and in that case she is just an abuser and the one who should get "treatment". I just hate hypocrisy. I hate when parents like her try to present themselves as saints who have evil a.k.a "mentally ill" children when they are the ones who cause that "illness" to develop in the first place.
