OK, how can I strengthen the analogy?  I kinda want it to have a bit of a 
gotcha effect.  
I am purposely trying to be a bit vague as to practitioner and meds.

That's why context is so important. "Practitioner" is pretty subjective, as is 
"meds".  What if the meds were LSD, methamphetamine, psilocybin,  morphine? 
What if the practitioner were RFK Jr?

Analogy is weak.

  Does this idea work:
  Say the school observes/detects a certain trait in your kid.  The kid 
seemingly agrees with the people at the school.  They think that if they can 
get the kid treatment, the kid will be much happier and relaxed.

  So they pursue some counseling for the kid and help the kid obtain some 
treatment meds from a practitioner.  
  All without the knowledge of the parents.
  Seemingly the kid is happier and more well adjusted.  They become gregarious 
and outgoing and find it easier to find friends.  
  Nobody seems to tell the kid or be worried about the long term physical and 
mental effects.  

  Some folks in this nation think this is totally OK.  
  All for the kid right.

  Now, a few details I left out:

  The teacher thinks the kid might be an alcoholic.  There is some science that 
hints that alcholism is genetic.  The school thinks that it might be helpful 
for the kid to explore the world of alcohol.  They give the kid some books on 
mixology etc.  So they set up a kid bar with a bar tender to give them their 
meds during the day.  Spectacular results right.
