"Sen. Angela Alsobrooks described Robert Kennedy's concept of 'wellness farms' as 'dangerous' and 'irresponsible,' questioning his vision for reparenting children in such settings."
"Kennedy expressed surprise at the accusation, stating, 'I would have to see, hear the recording because I have no memory of saying anything like that.'"
"Kennedy's proposal included the idea that 'every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence,' suggesting wellness farms as a remedy."
"In response to inquiries, HHS confirmed that Kennedy used the term 'reparenting,' describing it as a psychotherapy term related to his vision for helping children."
Sen. Angela Alsobrooks confronted U.S. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy about his proposal for 'wellness farms' during a Senate hearing. She described his idea of reparenting children, particularly Black children, as dangerous and irresponsible. Kennedy initially denied recalling the statement but later acknowledged discussing the concept during his presidential campaign. He suggested that these farms could help children affected by drug addiction and over-prescription of medications. Kennedy's comments included a controversial claim about Black children being over-prescribed medication, which he linked to violence, proposing wellness farms as a solution.
