This poor child and her family. It’s a crime.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Our Govt is killing this child..this is akin to MURDER..cold blooded murder

[tflabo]

In a nutshell what is this story about?

[Essie]

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.

[TigersEye]

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

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

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?

[Mears]

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?

[House Atreides]

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?

[Gay State Conservative]

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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.

[Daffynition]

The note she wrote to her parents is heartbreaking.

“They hurt me all the time push me all the time and more,” the note says. “They do not let me sleep vary [sic] much. Hury [sic]!”

[Nuc 1.1]

The doctor, judge(s) and lawyer(s) need to be held accountable. Unto the seventh generation.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

I thought kids could retain their own lawyer these days? (say, in a custody dispute) Why can’t she do that? Or is she old enough to ask to be declared an emancipated minor? She is probably too weak and tired now to pursue these avenues, but it’s a shame she can’t push for legal representation for herself.

I hope she lives long enough to get out of there (if her parents don’t spring her first) and sue the hell out of that hospital.

[MacMattico]

Even if you went with the theory that it was the parents fault (Munchhausen's) it makes no sense that other family, friends or even a dreaded foster family couldn't be involved. Why can't a relative, accused of nothing, assume custody and visit? Why are her sisters insistent there was never any abuse (even the one diagnosed with Mito herself and doing well under treatment) not allowed to visit more often, I believe they are adults.

None of this makes sense. Is Alan Dershowitz helping out or not? At that Wayside place she is being housed-- I'd really be afraid for her. But also I'd look for someone on the inside to secretly document her story. There are people that work at these facilities that don't do it for the money. I'd try to secretly meet with one of them. My 20 year old niece worked at a long term care facility and was brave enough to expose abuse.

[Resolute Conservative]

I would have visited my kid or spent the night in the slammer after assaulting the door guards.
