Antipsychotic Drugs Don't Cut Aggression in Mentally Disabled

by Trista Kelley

Antipsychotic drugs are an ineffective treatment for aggressive behavior in patients born with moderate to severe mental disabilities, according to an article published in the Lancet today.

Doctors measured the effects of two antipsychotic drugs, haloperidol, a generic sold by companies including Novartis AG, or Johnson & Johnson's Risperdal, on 86 non-psychotic patients. The participants showed no significant improvement against a placebo in terms of adverse side effects, aberrant behavior, quality of life and the effects on caregivers.

No big changes for DCFS

by Troy Anderson

The county's child welfare and protection agency saw an increase last year in deaths of children whose cases it had investigated, but its head said last week that the department doesn't plan any major policy overhauls.

Last year, 17 children died from abuse or neglect after the Department of Children and Family Services had investigated earlier complaints of mistreatment. The figure, an increase from 2008's total of 14 deaths, includes both open and closed investigations.

Expert tells how he would prevent 'panic' in foster-care system

by Troy Anderson

To prevent a "foster-care panic" in which social service agencies needlessly remove children from homes, foster care expert Richard Wexler offers a few recommendations for the Board of Supervisors...

-- Expand any investigation of high-profile death cases to include equal attention to cases of wrongful removal. -- Seek changes in state law to provide for "total transparency," including opening court hearings in child welfare cases, and most case records, to the public and press.

County welfare reform proposal would drop low-income parent job requirement

by Troy Anderson

To preserve benefits for 380,000 CalWORKS recipients, Los Angeles County's chief executive officer on Monday proposed a radical overhaul of the welfare-to-work system that would drop requirements that low-income parents of young children have jobs.

The proposal would save the state about $200 million by reducing the need to provide expensive child-care services to parents. The proposal comes as lawmakers debate whether to eliminate welfare benefits to 1.5 million Californians as part of efforts to balance the state budget.
