JUDICIAL- PSYCHIATRIC RAPE OF U.S. CHILDREN & FAMILIES - by Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD

The ordeal of Vincent Booth and his mother, Diane, began as it begins in every case, in
every school district in the US–with teachers diagnosing ADHD, presently, the number
one “disease” in the country. Teachers from the Sunnyvale School District decided, not
only that 6-year-old son, Vincent, had ADHD, but that he needed Ritalin, as well. Not
only did teachers, never having been to medical school, make the diagnosis, they
presumed it was their right, duty, and competence, as well, to designate the medication he
needed-in this case, an addictive, dangerous, sometimes lethal (200 deaths reported to
FDA-Medwatch, 1990-2000) medication-Ritalin. When Diane, the natural, legal,
mother rejected their diagnosis and treatment, they called in Child Protective Services,
pronounced her “negligent;” by order of the juvenile court made Vincent a ward of the
State of California (case # JD 1110), institutionalized, diagnosed, and drugged him.
Vincent was six years old, and, up to that point, healthy and normal.

Vincent was held at the Eastfield Ming Quong, a locked, children’s holding facility at one
time used to force social services on California’s Chinese immigrant children. Placed on
Ritalin, Vincent developed tics–involuntary movements–a complication of Ritalin, never
witnessed previously. He also had bruises and bumps-signs of physical abuse. Diane
complained, but to no avail. Next, she took matters into her own hands. In desperation,
and at her son’s request, she fled to Canada with him on July 5, 2000, and applied for
refugee status. Two months later the FBI apprehended them in British Columbia and
tore Vincent from her side while he screamed for help that his mother wasn’t allowed to
give him. For the past 2 ½ years Vincent has been a child of the State of California, held
at the Eastfield Ming Quong, getting treatment for the multiple “diseases” psychiatry says
he has with the multiple drugs, psychiatry says he needs.

Throughout the 2 ½ years no member of Diane’s family was allowed to have contact with
Vincent, and Diane remained a fugitive until she tired of life on the run and turned herself
in to authorities in Okanagan, Washington, in January, 2003.

Diane has since been extradited to Santa Clara County where she has been unable to
make bail and remains incarcerated at the (Diane Booth, BOOKING# 03007942, PFN#
DPN183, P.O. Box 60910) Elmwood Correctional Center for Women, MILPITAS, CA
95036. While the FBI has seen fit to drop all charges against her, Santa Clara County,
not wishing to be charged themselves, still presses felony, child endangerment and child
stealing charges against her, that could result in up to 8 years in prison-all of it, mind
you, for loving and her only child, her normal son, Vincent.

Diane began to correspond with me through my web site adhdfraud.com about two
years ago when she was still in Canada, seeking refugee status there. Based on her
description of events (a scenario repeated in every school, in every state, every single
day) and medical records, there is no doubt that Vincent was a medically, neurologically
normal child at the time psychiatric diagnosing and labeling began, and until the always-
injurious, psychiatric drugging began. Vincent’s psychiatric incarceration, ordered by his
new “parent,” Judge Leonard P. Edwards (parens patriae), assured it would always be
thus.

In the summer of 2002, his diagnoses-all psychiatric, all bogus, not actual diseases,
were Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (DSM-IV 309.81), Oppositional Defiant Disorder
(313.81) with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (300.82) and ADHD; episodic enuresis
(314.01). As is usual in psychiatry, not only did Vincent have multiple “diseases,” but he
was administered multiple psychiatric medications as well-each known to brain
damaging, none known to target a proven brain abnormality/disease.. They were Buspar,
Zoloft and Respirdal, an antipsychotic-an especially potent brain poison. As of June,
2002 Vincent was said to display “tics (probably a persisting side effect of Ritalin, but
Respirdal commonly causes involuntary movements, as well, known as tardive
dyskinesias) severe anxiety, fearfulness, impulsivity, hyper-vigilance, poor adult-child
relationships, tantrums and aggression toward staff and peers.” I wonder how well my
adult-child relationships would develop living such a life? More worrisome by far, a case
manager wrote: “Vincent is socially immature and often functions in a regressed,
primitive, unsociable manner, sometimes at a 2 or 3 year level. What if Vincent had been
normal and free, living in the protective, loving care of his natural mother, Diane. What
if he had been allowed to be the normal child he was, not imprisoned and drugged–a
psychiatric patient-in-perpetuity?

On December 10, 2002, before Diane’s desperate return to the US, I wrote to Judge
Edwards:

I ended my letter thus:

But, Judge Edwards did not reply. Therefore, I wrote to him a second time, February 6,
2003, making both of my letters to him the substance of a State of California, “Suspected
Child Abuse Report” in which I was charging not that Diane Booth was guilty of abusing
her son, Vincent, but that Santa Clara County and the State of California and all their
agents and agencies were. I wrote:

Nor have I heard from Judge Edwards this time. Nor has my “SUSPECTED CHILD
ABUSE REPORT” been acknowledged. Neither has my declaration on behalf of Diane
Booth (BOOKING# 03007942, PFN# DPN183, P.O. Box 60910, Elmwood Correctional
Center for Women, MILPITAS, CA) submitted to the court, been accepted by the court.

Every American should know about the Diane Booth case, because, believe it or not, it is
happening all over the country, in every school district, every day. In most instances, the
coercion works; the insistence that the Ritalin is necessary, that your child can’t function
without it–this “chemical balancer” for his “chemical imbalance.” I hear from parents
hounded at work, hounded at home, evenings, threatened by the CPS-turned-Gestapo
leaving no doubt of your negligence, no doubt juvenile court is the next stop. And yes,
Diane was a single parent, but a good parent, and she was at her best loving and
protecting her son, standing on her common sense. However psychiatry needed her son,
not to help him, but, regardless of him, to make him a profit-point; to make him a life-
long profit-point, and that is exactly what they will do to Vincent and to any child
anywhere, in any US public school, and you-Mother and Father in the USA, you had
better wake up to the fact that today it is Diane Booth, tomorrow, it can be you, your
child, grandchild, niece, nephew, for they find psychiatric “diseases” in each and every
child, normal or not.

Lest you think I am some ranting fool, consider this from the Bazelon Center for Mental
Health in Washington, DC [Practice Trends," Clinical Psychiatric News, May 2000,
page 49.] Speaking of Vincent Booth, and millions like him across the country, they say:

Imagine, “20% actually gave up custody.” This should send chills down your spines if it
doesn’t. By my reckoning, they are speaking here of at least 2.1 million.

In addition ADHD, Ritalin and psychiatric drugging otherwise, are unusually common
issues in divorce. Dare any child manifest unhappiness or insecurity as his world is
falling apart! Dare any parent of divorce, challenge the court’s psychiatric experts and
the tidy work they and the DSM make of the untold human misery by medicalizing it. If
they do, if they express doubt about ADHD or any other psychiatric contrivance or the
one or several drugs that invariable follow, parents will lose their share of decision-
making and all rights to see their child.

Protect yourself today–stand up for Diane Booth; contribute to the Diane Booth Defense
Fund because, as things stand, Diane has no money for a criminal defense attorney and
will be defending herself at trial. If she loses, she and Vincent will remain in jail, life-
long victims of PSYCHIATRIC-JUDICIAL RAPE. If she wins, we get her out of jail,
reunite her with her Vincent, prove that ADHD and psychiatry are a fraud, and protect
you, your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and all the normal children in the US
from JUDICIAL-PSYCHIATRIC RAPE.
