A Response to the NYU Child Study Center Campaign

By , About.com Guide

Added on Dec 19 2007

The "Ransom Notes" ad campaign designed to raise public awareness of children's psychiatric disorders has brought angry reactions from parents, people with disabilities, and advocacy organizations, including this video juxtaposing the ads' notes with real ransom notes. Writes dinahkcm: "This is a short video I've put together to draw attention to a petition against a vile campaign - petition is at www.petitiononline.com/ransom/petition.html."
