Warning for those in Boston

[mama2alex]

I received Beth Maloney's permission to post this word for word. Hoping it will save someone additional heartache.

 

"Do not take a child with PANDAS to Boston Children's Hospital.

 

I am working with a family whose PANDAS child was admitted to BCH due to eating issues. This is the second family I have represented within two months regarding BCH with the same fact pattern. In both cases, BCH has immediately told the parents that PANDAS/PANS does not exist, cut off the child's antibiotics, reported the parents to Mass child protective services, and had the parents trailed by gua"ds at the hospital. In both cases, BCH has actively encouraged children's services to remove the child from the custody of the parents unless the family signed a voluntary agreement to place the child in a locked psych unit. I will be in court tomorrow in Boston fighting Mass CPS on behalf of the current family who is trying to retain custody of their child.

 

FIND A DIFFERENT HOSPITAL.
