[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:

Dear Mr. Riak,

I have asked you several times if you and your organization consider the psychiatric labeling and drugging of the nations normal children to be corporal punishment, assault and battery or not. Battery is the illegal beating or touching of another person. Surely systematic lying to the parents and patients of the nation then drugging them (poisoning in the case of no real disease) or having them drug themselves is battery, and a whole lot more under the law. I will happily post your response when it is recieved.

Sincerely,

Fred Baughman, MD ]
