FULL TITLE: Girl held in a hospital against her will for over a year celebrates homecoming with sweet 16 birthday party

A Connecticut teen who was all but imprisoned in a Boston hospital for 16 months finally got the homecoming she deserved Sunday.

At the same time, Justina Pelletier of West Hartford got the Sweet 16 party she couldn't have while forcibly separated from her friends and family.

'She's missed so many holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Easter and all the religious holidays,' Justina's father Lou Pelletier told FoxCT.

Justina, who first checked in to Boston Children's Hospital in February 2013 with flu-like symptoms, was feeling better then she had in quite some time as 100 of her closest loved ones celebrated her return home.

“We’re from the government. We’re here to help you”

What do they expect in a state that voted for Obama?

The pictures while she was in state custody and today make it pretty obvious her medical care was horrific. I hope her parents sue the doctors, the hospital and the state for millions.

She’s still in a wheelchair. That blows.

Just the state’s way of saying “They’re not your children. Disagree, and we’ll call you unfit parents and take them”.

After a few months, she already looks better. To me, that is proof that these “doctors” at Boston Children’s, which may as well have been a “correctional facility” IMHO, need to be sued out of practice.

Note: I am normally AGAINST lawsuits vs doctors who do their best, even if the results are bad, but this screams “CYA” and “gross malpractice” to me...

...and Devil Patrick, Obama’s mini me (and I'd speculate also one of his lovers) who was ultimately responsible for this atrocity.

“Somafotorm disorder” is nothing more than the 21st century version of, “Honey, you’re really not sick, it’s just all in your head.” and Freud’s “female hysteria”.

The big new wrinkle in all of this though is the fascist state abduction of this child from her parents.

If she’s “not really sick” then why is she in a wheelchair?
