I have said, repeatedly, that I have no confidence in ANY judgements made by Mass DCYF, which you would know if you read my posts.
I think most of the theories about the actions and motivations of both CH and the Floating Hospital, and their medical staffs, are absurd.
If the parents are being kept away, for over a year (only 1 hr/wk supervised visits) because of expected child abuse, why have there been no arrests made? And if it isn't the parents but the child with a psychiatric illness, why are the parents being kept away at all? If they are refusing treatment for their daughter, for whatever reason, why does that have to be a huge secret? We hear about these types (refusing treatment) of cases all of the time, no citing of HIPPA.
If I were to slap my child (I don't) and leave a red mark, NY would arrest me, I'd have a court date and the information would be public news. If this is the parents fault for whatever reason, where's their arrest and court date for serious child abuse that has amazingly left their child in this condition after a year without contact? THAT (keeping a child away from their parents when no criminal charges have been filed) is the real child abuse here!
