A 6-year-old Florida girl was committed for two days to a mental health facility without her mother’s consent after allegedly throwing a temper tantrum at school, an attorney for the family said.
The child was allegedly given anti-psychotic medications at the center, also without the permission of her mother.

State sanctioned child abuse.
