Sad when all Mark S Probert disbarred attorney form Merrick, NY
can only call names when a death of a 4 year old is caused by some
sick Psychiatrist over medicating a FOUR year old.  The parents are in
jail 
but the shrink
is still on staff.

Watch the youtube videos there.

lol. Poor Marica can't remember the email addy.

Shame on the *gang* from this so-called sup****t group.

The ****ft is diverting to the poster rather than the KILLING of a four
year 
old child.

Started by Mark S Probert who has exposed himself.

LYING for years.

I strongly suspect that this is a very common occurrence, the
proverbial tip of the iceberg!   I would guess that t thousands of
innocent children have met a very untimely demise by a rush-to-
judgment in misdiagnosing ADD.
Now is the time to find redress in the courts!
