The
story of Justina Pelletier is like a horror movie. This is a case of
Big Brother removing a teenage girl from her home and parents –
responsible, loving parents who simply followed the medical counsel of
their well-qualified physicians. The state then actually imprisoned
Justina, resulting in her health rapidly declining.
Today, I attempted to appear before
the Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Juvenile Court to defend the
Pelletier family against abuse by the Massachusetts Department of
Children and Families (DCF). I will have a shocking update for you
tomorrow, but you need to know the details of this outrageous case now.
Please
read my important update on this tragic example of what happens when a
rampant state agency decides to run roughshod over parental rights –
Mat.
America
is rapidly becoming aware of the Pelletier family and their daughter’s
life-and-death struggle unfolding in Massachusetts. Thankfully, national
news reports about the situation have multiplied over the past several
days and this tragic injustice is getting the attention it deserves.
This
case involves a 15-year-old ice-skating competitor who was taken from
her parents by the DCF, locked up for over a year, and is now confined
to a wheelchair because of maltreatment for a metabolic disorder.
Justina’s
father, Lou Pelletier, recently spoke to the media about this tragic
case involving DCF and Boston Children’s Hospital. Seeking to silence the parents,
the state has filed a complaint to hold the father in contempt of court
for violating an alleged gag order that was never put in writing.
++The Pelletiers’ rights have been grossly violated.
The Founders intended that the Constitution would protect citizens against this kind of government oppression. DCF’s
motion for contempt is nothing more than an attempt to prevent the
public from learning about the state’s unconstitutional infringement of
the Pelletiers’ parental rights.
Further, there is simply no justification for such a gross violation of the public’s access to judicial proceedings.
Before she was admitted to Boston Children’s Hospital, Justina was being treated for mitochondrial disease, a rare genetic disorder, by Dr. Mark Korson, the chief of metabolism at Tufts Medical Center.
At
Boston Children’s Hospital, a new doctor – in the seventh month of his
internship – changed the working diagnosis from mitochondrial disease to
a somatoform disorder, shifting her treatment from a physical to a
mental emphasis.
When
Lou and Linda Pelletier tried to discharge their daughter the following
day, February 14, 2013, and return her to care at Tufts Medical Center,
DCF declared Justina to be a “ward of the state” and moved her to a
psychiatric ward, where she remained for eleven months!
Today, Justina is confined at Wayside Youth and Family Support, a nonmedical treatment facility. She is suffering every day with excruciating pain, and her health is rapidly declining.
++The actions of the Massachusetts DCF and Boston Children’s Hospital are indefensible!
The
State of Massachusetts cannot make Justina a prisoner merely because
they disagree with the medical protocols recommended and administered by
a respected medical institution responsible for her care. The more
light is shed on this tragic situation, the more it becomes apparent
that DCF and Boston Children’s Hospital have grossly violated this young
woman’s and her family’s rights.
This is a tragic case that is beginning to get media attention solely
because a father dared to stand up to statist bullies in a powerful
agency.
Today,
I simply need your help to offset the legal expenses we are incurring
in defending the Pelletier family. We do not charge the Pelletiers, or
any client, for legal representation.
Please go here to make your best gift possible:
Justina's family is only allowed one, 1-hour visit and a 20-minute phone call each week – and both are heavily supervised.
It
is an outrageous expression of raw statism for government officials to
remove a child from the custody and care of her parents when they were
following the counsel of licensed medical professionals who had been
charged with her care!
If you were in the Pelletier’s shoes, you would doubtless wage an
aggressive legal fight to obtain justice. That’s exactly what we are
doing on the Pelletier family’s behalf!
Please
help today with whatever sized gift is possible. Your gift of $50,
$100, or even $1,000 will help Liberty Counsel meet these and other
critical needs. Please, send a special gift today:
Please
also pray for the Liberty Counsel legal team as we meet growing
litigation challenges, especially on behalf of America’s families. With
your help, we can stop outrageous attacks on parental rights and turn
back related assaults on religious freedom and the freedom of speech.
THANK YOU in advance and for standing with the Pelletier family and may God abundantly bless you!
