School under fire after nurse gives wrong student Ritalin


A Massachusetts family is seeking answers after a school nurse gave their daughter Ritalin instead of Motrin in an alleged case of mistaken identity. Madison Young, 7, said she went to the nurse for Motrin after falling in the lunchroom and the nurse began calling her by the wrong name, Fox 25 reported. “She said, ‘Hi Ava.’ I said, ‘I’m not Ava,’ but then she still proceeded to give me the medicine,” Young told Fox 25. The family wants to know why the nurse never confirmed Young’s identity before administering the Ritalin. “This is serious, a lot worse could have happened, people should be aware of it,” Russell told Fox 25.
