Child Taken From Home After Drug Test Mistake

[John|OTCfiend]

seems like most people are ignorant about dxm, especially doctors.

This makes me sick. All they had to do is research if DXM could cause false positives on urine/drug tests. This is even listed at the DV!

Well I doubt social services or doctors reguarly check the DV for the latest information

The doctor should have been aware though...

But look on the bright side...the kid is back where he belongs. He could have been kept away from his parents indefinitely.

Not that I'm justifying what was done....I do understand and agree with him being taken away while an investigation is being done...but damn they should have realized the truth much sooner.

The reason i disagree with this is because it is beyond rare that a parent feeds their baby a pcp crystal or makes him smoke sherm.

It was a obvious false posative, and these doctors are taught that these things are possible. You look at it from this perspective, the doctor has a doctorate/proffessional degree in his field. Mistakes this serious should NOT happen.

This info is also listed right on the internet, not just the dv.

uh, midknight. he was 3. o.o a body that small and underdeveloped would prolly have strong reactions to even slightly higher than normal doses.

yea, but their are kids cough medicines that have kid dosages on them.

I probably would have sued. In not the suing type, but this had to change the kid forever.
