Legal Kidnapping of Justina Pelletier: How Can This Happen In the United States?

One year ago, Justina Pelletier was living the life of a normal 15-year-old going to school, celebrating family parties, ice skating, and enjoying life. Although she has mitochondrial disease, she was being treated at Tufts and was able to function normally. Then she got the flu and, due to possible complications from her mitochondrial disease, doctors at Tufts recommended the family go to Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) where her gastrointestinal doctor had recently transferred. That's when the nightmare began after an emergency room doctor said it was all in her head, put her in the psych ward, and sicced the Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) on the Pelletiers. They also banned involvement from any other doctors.

In one year, Justina has gone from living a normal life to being partially paralyzed and in continuous pain with no treatment for her mitochondrial disorder. Today the judge who initiated this horror show ordered her into non-medical foster care under the custody of DCF. Read about it here, here, and here and watch the video interview with her dad who is fighting to save his daughter's life.



Essentially Justina has been kidnapped by the Massachusetts DCF, BCH, and the court, a scenario all too common in this country.
