Lindsay Lohan Must Stop Prescription Drug Use, Dad Says
Filed under: Celeb Parents, In The News, New In Pop Culture, Celeb News & Interviews
With Father's Day approaching, we can only guess that Michael Lohan's appearance on "The Early Show" this morning to talk about his daughter Lindsay's alleged drug problems was a misguided attempt at ditching his "World's Worst Dad" title.
When asked if he thought his daughter was dying of prescription drug use, Lohan replied, "I think it's eating her up." He added, "I'm out there trying to be an example to Lindsay."
Really?
Clearly Lindsay Lohan is a troubled young woman, but if Papa Michael truly wants to help her, is talking about her problems on national TV the way to do it? What do you think?

A sad Dad said..."Prescription drugs are the new heroin". This is now the new claim and unfortunately it is real. In Polk County and Hillsborough County all you need is the money, whether you have your own or take some family heirlooms to the local pawn shop scum, and then go to, say, the Tampa Pain Clinic, or any of the other so called "pain clinics" and soon you're flying -- and probably selling the overage of the prescription to some other junkies. Yes, this guy may have some warped ideas as to how HE can stay in the limelight but HE IS RIGHT, prescription drugs WILL KILL. It is alleged that in Hillsborough County (or maybe the sister county of Pasco) there are about 5 deaths per month just from prescription drug abuse ( I don't know what Polk County's number is allegedly because ...). Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I'm sad. My daughter is also a victim as is her now estranged husband. And what is even more problematic is that this epidemic is happening right under OUR NOSES. It is alleged that of the top 100 doctors who write prescriptions for oxycoden (sp) there are 94 that are IN FLORIDA!!!! Think about it!!!

KAECEE said...RE; "A Dad said", so sorry to hear of your daughter and son in law, but your alleged statistics on of "100 doctors, 94 are in FL", is completely FALSE!
I'm from WI and at this moment we have an avid epidemic in the MILWAUKEE, WAUKESHA, RACINE & INDIAN RES.COUNTIES. I was injured at work & had 3 back surgeries & diagnosed with cervical cancer (2 months ago) & when I go to my pain clinic, get my RX's, walk out the door I am approached by a handful of people begging me for my RX's for several thousand dollars!!! Even patients in the clinic sitting right next to me, who I see every month, are open to talk about them NOT having ANY type of injury or pain BUT come to the clinic, pay $300 to be seen for a RX just because they are either addicted or need cash to pay their rent, shop for top notch cloths, drive awesome cars and the like!! Most of them don't even have MRI's, CT scans or proof of any ailment! I sit there for 3 hrs to be seen while people come in,"WALK-INS" faking: (crying, bent over, almost screaming in supposed pain) who are then seen 1st & then after they get their script are seen walking out straight as a stick, happy as a lark, jump in a car full of other people and are off to Wallgreens down the street. And WHY?!?! TO GO GET HIGH, then sell a few 30's or 80's & fentanyl patches to make up for the high fee the doctor just got for the appointment. It amazes me when the "jaw jackers" come in for RX's too, claiming they are cold & thats why they are "chattering" their teeth. UNREAL!
I have been robbed by a "good friend", whom I thought; CONNIE BAKER of Racine Co. area. She stole almost my monthly script. I called the cops & FBI (wanted, I found out) and she told them I borrowed them to her. Another incident that occured in July was I was burglurized by a good, good friend of 6 yrs. I went up north for the 4th of July wknd & asked him to watch my cat, dog & water my plants. Gave him a key I had made at Walmart with their name on the key. As it turned out he was another pill junkie(unknown to me), he; JOESEPH HINTZ, WATERFORD, WI., made a new key and waited until July 18th after I left for a birthday party and robbed me blind!!! Of course all my pain pills from my "locked" master bathroom! A precaution since I have pets and a little girl & maintence guys at my apt. Neighbor saw him enter, but not leave. She figured either a boyfriend or friend since he DID have a key he remade from the one I gave him. Being a single mother, he stole so much from my 9yr old daughter & I. Her birthday just passed and he stole her new, still in the box flat screen t.v., Wii & it's games, all her birthday money from her piggy bank, OLD 1800 & 1900 dated $50, $20, $10, $5, $2 dollar bills and very old silver & gold coins my ex husband & I had been saving for a bit over 10yrs when we owned several small businesses that desperate people paid for gas, cigs, lottery, etc., with. Not to mention, he took other items as everyday jewlery, watch, $2,540.00 in cash for the months rent & bills that were HIDDEN in the fireplace & other misc. items that I had. (digital camera with the memory card that held many, many memories, a cam corder, DVD player, new T-fal cooking set that was still in the box, etc.) I was to deposit the $ then write checks out. I've heard he doctor shops, goes to several pharmacys, doesn't work, faked an injury in order to get a nice sized workmans comp. payment. He even cut off the tip of his thumb at a different workplace ON PURPOSE & got money for that which is now gone due to him buying pills!! Of course I called the police and have an upcomming appt. with the DA in regards to charges. What I'm angry about is all the things he stole from my little girl that can't be replaced!
I'm so pissed at myself for trusting (& NOT KNOWING), & letting someone like that in my apt., much less my life and around my daughter. Being divorced, I don't have much and how do I explain to a little girl where all her stuff went to?? It's MY fault for trusting someone like this, but he kept it very well hid, including to his mom and family, until the Detectives went to his moms house looking for him.
These junkies piss me off and because of what I went through twice, I've distinced myself from a lot of friends and people. Besides materialistic things being stolen, so has my trust. I say Boot Camp 'em ALL!!!!!

Ashley said...Whatever happened to the sweet Lindsay we saw in The Parent Trap? She has turned herself into a total loser and her career is down the toilet. Her parents are no help to her, either. This is the most dysfunctional family I ever heard of and Lindsay will end up just like Brittany Murphy, dead because of a drug overdose. How sad.

sandy said...I hope you are wrong and the good doctors can mend this unfortunate child, having grown up with no indication of any real and meaningful guidance and moral support from her parents... she would have been better off without these particular parents... she is famous since a child and that alone is off kilter.... pray the doctors can put this child back together so she can live a happy life going forward.... every child deserves a SECOND CHANCE!!!!
