Kelly Preston: Children
built 221 days ago
Recently, Kelly Preston has taken up the issue of overmedication and children. Preston has advocated that schools are forcing or pressuring students and their families to medicate them for ADD unnecessarily. She has testified before the Florida state legislature encouraging the passage of a bill to ban such practice. A federal law to that effect became law in July 2005, only schools receiving federal funding are subject to its terms.

"We are thrilled to have Kelly Preston starring in this project, along with Ron Eldard, in what is an extremely powerful piece about how far parents will go to protect their children," said Tanya Lopez, Senior Vice President, Original Movies. Adding, "We are equally thrilled to be in business again with Jodi Picoult. She is truly a remarkable storyteller. The incredible popularity of her books is a testament to the resonance and power of her writing talent."

Because of her frightening – and enlightening – experience with Jett, Preston became committed to informing other parents of potential health hazards in the environment, and protecting other children. Her work with the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition (CHEC), a national non-profit organization dedicated to educating parents and caregivers about environmental toxins that affect children's health, allows her to spread her message in a powerful way. She has helped raise funds and awareness by being a board member and media representative.
