Justina Pelletier’s Father Says Her Health is Failing: “She Doesn’t Have Much Longer”
LIFE NEWS ^ | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 04/21/2014 6:45:44 PM PDT by Morgana

On Good Friday, the Pelletier family delivered over 700 “Get Well” cards for Justina Pelletier, the sick teenager who state officials wrongfully took custody of away from her parents.

The Pelletier family was not allowed to visit their daughter on Easter Sunday. The news comes after attorneys working with her family released a letter Justina reportedly wrote saying she is not being treated well.

Today, pro-life attorney Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel told LifeNews that Justina’s health continues to deteriorate.

justinapelletier3“On Good Friday, Justina Pelletier received cards adorned with encouraging scripture and powerful messages of hope from concerned Americans across the country,” he said. “Thank you to all of you who participated!”

“Lou Pelletier, Justina’s father, told us that Justina saw the mountain of cards and read several of the messages to her. She is encouraged with this amazing outpouring of love and support. I must tell you that Anita and I were deeply moved as we read through hundreds of strong personalized messages,” Staver added.

But Staver said Mr. Pelletier had a very somber assessment of Justina’s condition following the family’s visitation time this weekend, which miraculously did include a last-minute approved Easter Sunday visit.

Staver said: He believes…“Justina is in a world of hurt. She is physically and mentally dying. She doesn’t have much longer.” He wonders how much more DCF “abuse” she’ll be able to endure. He contends that Justina is still undergoing behavior modification therapies, which includes drug-induced treatments. He knows that “Justina is being tortured.”

“Since Massachusetts Juvenile Court Judge Joseph Johnston remanded Justina into permanent DCF custody, she has only once returned to Tufts Medical Center where she was receiving effective treatments for her rare disprder. Dr. Korman, Justina’s original attending physician, is calling for weekly treatments to restore her health.The DCF has refused Dr. Korman’s request, countering with proposed monthly visits,” Staver said in his email update. “We all fear the DCF’s limited course of treatments at Tufts will prove to be too little too late.”

“Justina is being housed in a Wayside Youth and Family Facility in Framingham, MA. The facility allows family visitation for any occupant – except Justina because of a DCF mandate. Therefore, Justina is transported to a DCF office for the one-hour weekly visitation with her family, which is overseen by 2-3 DCF officials and an armed police officer,” he continued. “Due to these overbearing DCF visitation restrictions, the Pelletiers must complete their one-hour weekly visit with Justina and then remove anything they carry into the visitation. That includes the hundreds of “Get Well” cards that we sent to her – and the ones still to be delivered. Many of those cards will be awaiting Justina when, prayerfully, she is able to return home.” “For now, Justina remains a ward of the state. This experience has left the Pelletier family to endure the trauma of their daughter being virtually imprisoned by the DCF while she suffers extreme emotional distress and deteriorating health,” Staver added.

“We are exhausting all legal means to get Justina returned to her family and given proper medical care in a timely manner before Justina’s health deteriorates any further,” he said.

My question is how can the state torture and slowly murder a young girl in plain sight? There isn’t a serious reason for this savagery. To isolate a person for no apparent reason from their friends and family and slowly let them die is pure evil.

If that little girl dies there are a bunch of other people that need to move on to the next life too.

I know these freaks on the gov are anti-life....but could this be political as well? Are the parents registered R’s by any chance?

I do not get this. I will never get this.

I had dealings with BCH and loved it.

Many of my friends have dealt with the hospital.

What information is being held back?

If the state of Massachusetts kills Justina Pelletier, will they let her family have her body or will they bury her in a secret grave just to show the Pelletiers and all of us who is the boss?

I hope that those responsible for this travesty are sued and lose every penny they have and every penny they will have. I hope that the physicians who are committing malpractice on this young girl also PERMANENTLY lose their licenses to practice medicine. The criminal bureaucrats need to lose their jobs and their pensions.

Will any of this happen? Perhaps not in this life, but at least we should find out the names of all involved and make sure this evil they are doing follows them for the remainder of their lives and the lives of their families (so the families will know that they need to be ashamed of their evil/incompetent relatives). This knowledge needs to be widespread so that any potential employers, business contacts and potential friends/lovers can know the facts.

  ...their daughter being virtually imprisoned by the DCF while she suffers extreme emotional distress and deteriorating health

  The mind affects the body and the girl is distressed because she is not only imprisoned, but separated from her parents... by another unaccountable 3 letter government agency. Are there any good 3 letter government agencies?

These parents,being from Connecticut,need to understand something important in this case.And I mean important in *addition* to the fact that *another* child under the protection of the Massachusetts DCF was found buried in a shallow grave the other day after having been on their books for months as "uncontactable".The other thing they need to know is that this has become political.Not just *Massachusetts* political,but *nationally* political.That's because this case has reached Governor "Coupe Deval" Patrick...in a big way.And Coupe Deval,a soft spoken "person of color" who's been a close pal of Osama Obama's since their days together as "community organizers",has made it clear that he's running for President in '16.

And knowing Coupe Deval as well as I do that means,among other things,that his only *real* interest in this case is tamping it down.This girl,to him,will be nothing more to him than a "broken egg" that was needed to make his Presidential omelet if serious permanent harm (or worse) is the final outcome.

That’s the plan. If she dies, the problem is solved for the state. That’s what they’ve wanted ever since the thing went public.

I have no idea if all the facts are out, but I will say any group will have bad apples including the finest hospitals, so could be a bad apple doctor. I think a more likely scenario is that only takes one doctor to believe there is abuse (physical abuse or mental/Munchausen’s by proxy, etc.) and report it, then CPS must investigate.

In a nutshell girl’s previous doctors at another hospital thought she had mitochondrial disease and diagnosed her with that, treated her for that. I did some research on mitochondrial and some doctors do not believe it is a real disease (I have read the doctor that treated her at BCH is one that does not believe in it) and some think when it is diagnosed it might be covering the real issue- Munchausen’s- which is called something else now I think. I read an article about mitochondrial disease and it stated that because with that disease a person can have a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms it is sometimes mis-diagnosed as Munchausen’s.

I have no real knowledge of mitochondrial, Munchausen’s or the people involved so I cannot figure out who is right in this mess.

It’s because they ARE pure evil.

I think they should be seeking other avenues to publicize this, gag orders be damned. Maybe a procession of Patriot Riders and other tough-looking bikers going down the street near the place of Justina’s imprisonment, flying huge FREE JUSTINA banners? A spontaneous march of thousands? If I were her parents, I’d even consider appealing to Vladimir Putin to publicize the case internationally, it would be a ripe opportunity for the Russians to rub the USG’s nose in their own iniquity and hypocrisy. When someone evil has your child in their clutches, evil or no, any available tool will do to hack at those hands until they loose your child from their grasp.

Justina was being treated for a gastrointestinal disorder by her MD at Tuft’s University. Her doctor sent her to another hospital for some testing. This particular hospital has a number of specialists studying somatoform disease, formerly called Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome. The brand new doctor at this new hospital decided that doctors at Tuft’s were wrong and it was all in her head. They had CPS kidnap the child. That’s pretty much where it still stands.
