Meanwhile the celebrated Dr. Phil announced that he had called the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) on several occasions to discuss the case with them, but they had not returned any of his calls. While this authority ignores Dr. Phil, Justina remains at the Massachusetts Wayside Youth and Family Support Network where she has been since January. This is in spite of a DCF undertaking made nearly three weeks ago that she would be treated by a medical team at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, which is where her family wants her to be.
The judge will also rule later this week on whether Mathew Staver, the Dean of Liberty University School of Law, and founder and chairman of Liberty Council, an international nonprofit organization, is permitted to be the Pelletier’s official lawyer. Staver was appointed late February after a billionaire benefactor came forward on the Glenn Beck radio show with a sponsorship to ensure that Justina gets the best possible legal representation. The DCF is opposing the request.
Additionally, an increasing number of people have joined the struggle to have Justina, who is from Connecticut, returned to the care of her parents. There have been rallies and vigils, and even a TweetStorm on Monday evening that had a reach of 4,717,900 and 13,485,341 impacts. But in spite of this overwhelming support, she remains at Wayside in the custody of the Massachusetts DCF.

Dismay as Justina Pelletier Custody Case Postponed; DCF Ignores Dr. Phil
Dr. Phil Show:
The Fight over Justina: Medical Child Abuse by Parents or Abuse of Power by a Hospital?
Surely Dr. Phil didn't think he had any power to actually help Justina?
ReplyDeleteonce the law is involved we are all screwed :( -- This is an outrage, just like when they took my mother-in-law and all our money, cars, and home - we got nothing - the brother in law who started it got nothing but the lawyers and guardians got plenty :(
ReplyDeleteDCF opposes the Pelletier's choice of a lawyer?
ReplyDeleteSo what? How could DCF possibly claim any authority to determine who somebody else's lawyer is?
Maybe we can let the Pelletiers pick the lawyer for the DCF.
And while we're at it, let's report whatever DCF attorney made this bone-headed motion to the Bar, immediately.
Basically, on the facts presented here, DCF would have to prove that it's child abuse or neglect to transfer this young lady to Tufts.
Dismay is an understatement if Justina was my daughter, my child I would be through the sky on this. I am concerned for the parents health the stress is a killer I can't imagine the panic and fear. God bless Justina, God Bless her parents and God needs to Bless all of us we're all at risk for repeat performance beware of hospitals with their bag of dirty tricks and layers and layers of LAWYERS. What a sick society KARMA to all who are involved and profiting from this. Eternal damnation.
ReplyDeleteThe power is in getting the information out to the American public in any and every way possible. Most people with even average intelligence realize that we are all on the path towards becoming disabled or elderly ourselves and as such should do everything within our power to be sure that individual's rights are protected.
ReplyDeleteDr. Phil's "power" is in informing the public about the injustice that is being heaped on this innocent girl and her family. I hope Justina's family feels the support of people across this nation who are praying that their daughter will be freed. Individuals have rights, whether they are elderly, disabled or have a rare medical issue.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for this family and all the family so wronged.
ReplyDeleteKeep the gas turned on high. People are outraged and the outrage is growing!
ReplyDeleteI just feel Justina will get to go home, but she also should have been home by now too.

ReplyDeleteEnter a hospital - caution - you think you are in a safe place well that's a false sense of protection.
Most often the health care providers are good people doing their best but your well being and care ~~ it stops there when you encounter management level. administrators who
See needs to be home with her family. Problem is the heat is on and the courts and hospitals are now scrabbling.
ReplyDeleteThis is the tip of the iceberg in these cases there are thousands and thousands another cash for kids, cash for the disabled and elderly scam.
The FBI should be in there grabbing box after box of evidence of healthcare fraud .......
Not only should this alarm every parent in the United States, it should alarm every family in concerns of their children, the disabled and the elderly. There is definitely something wrong with this society.
ReplyDeleteHolding space for this family in their daughter being returned and getting the health care that she needs for her condition!
It's not this society. What's wrong with this country is a problem caused by the out-of-control Barfia - they eat their own! Good guys (whistleblowers) get disbarred, while bad guys (and judges) get covered up.
ReplyDeleteThis is sicker than sick:
ReplyDeleteA judge has no right to decide whether a lawyer can appear in a case if he is registered and has had no discipline problems.
