[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD: Dear Mr. and Mrs. D, I spoke at length with your attorney. Telling you straight out, or, obliquely--in so many words--that ADHD is a disease--an abnormality in your daughter's brain or body is an absolute lie. If you were lead to believe it was; that your daughter was abnormal--diseased, needed medication, your right to informed consent was irretrievably violated-trampled, and regardless of how truthful the subsequent explanation concerning any drugs or other treatments--any drugs/treatments thus consented to and given to your child could only constitute assault and battery upon her. This is the lynch-pin of the fraud/conspiracy; one designed to make "patients" of entirely normal children (just as with your daughter) and as, marketplace strategy, it is proven to be immensely successful. Be in touch if I can assist in any way. Sincerely, FB] D**** wrote: Dear Mr. Baughman, We received your e-mail and was greatly appreciated that you took the time to respond. We are just devastated by our daughter's death. We have hired an attorney to represent us and will eventually be moving forward. Why can school's get away with saying children have signs of ADHD/ADD if there is no such diagnosis? It does not make any since to us. Our main concern is to put a stop to this use of medication desipramine. If not FDA approved for use in children then why do physician's take the risk of using it. We were never told the true side effects related to desipramine or never told it was not FDA approved. In researching the medication a toxic level for an adult is 300mg and when on such a high dose they should be observed in a hospital setting. Why would anyone have a 10 year old child at the weight of 53lbs on a dosage of 250mg daily? These are questions we are having a hard time with. Why is it not required that physicians and pharmasists discuss the true side effects, they discuss minor not major? Do we as parents have no rights until they have been violated? We know we can not save our daughter and we live a lonely, empty life now that she is gone. Let me tell you alittle about this precious 10 year old child. S***** was a gift from god that we cherished, we revolved our life around her, she danced jazz, tap, ballet for 7 years, she played piano, she played girl's softball, she twirled rifle in a marching group, she was a member of girl scouts and we were proud and right beside her side for everything. You see why we are so determined to fight for the cause of our daughter. Our big question is Why did S***** have to die? Absolutely no reason. Can you please help us in any way so no other child dies. If the things going on in the world are not right, when is it enough, and when does it stop? We are determined to get the answers and to try to change somethings but we know it is a long hard fight and an expensive fight and we are willing to take the risks involved. We only wish someone would have tried to help us before we lost our precious child. Thank you very much for your response you at least gave us hope that people still do care. V**** & S**** D*****
