And when children were prescribed four or more psychotropic drugs at the same time, a mandatory review of the children’s clinical status had not been completed in 28% of cases.

And in several instances, staff members at residential treatment centers had been named as medical consenters, another violation of DFPS policies. “Does this not set off alarm bells for you that we’re 10 years into this, 12 years into this process, and you all cannot monitor the psychotropic drugs?” Jack asked. “You don’t have the proper people consenting for the use of the drugs. The records are in shambles. The safeguards are not being enforced, your own safeguards.”The state’s lawyers argued Wednesday that prescriptions of psychotropic drugs fall outside the scope of the court.
