GAG order and peaceful demonstration

[tpotter]

For those of you who do not facebook, Beth and the Wrays have been issued with a gag order. This requires them to stop posting about anything related to the case, and to also pull everything off their webpages, facebook, etc. that is related. There is a facebook page, though, dedicated to "Free Elizabeth Wray" http://www.facebook.com/FreeElizabethWray?fref=ts with details. For those of you who do not know, Elizabeth was diagnosed (CDC positive) with Lyme Disease, Mycoplasma Pneumonia, several parasites, and yeast, according to Jay Wray's previous post on facebook, and was being treated with antibiotics by two doctors. She was doing very well, She took a very severe turn for the worst in September, and was brought to Children's Hospital of Boston (CHB). According to Beth, the doctors there immediately tried to get parental rights taken away, because they would not agree to lock their daughter up in a locked psych unit, according to Beth Maloney's previous post. According to Beth, "these parents did nothing wrong". They could have been any of us who took our child to a hospital for serious complications of this horrible disorder. According to Beth, parental rights were taken away, although the child was not allowed to be put on the locked unit. Additionally, according to Beth, BCH took her off her antibioics, and even took her off her gluten and casein free diet.)

 

A peaceful demonstration is being planned across from the hospital on Thursday, October 11, but as of now, the permit has not yet come through. The organizers (on "Free Elizabeth Wray") have noted that they will have the demonstration another time if the permit does not come through by then. There is also a trust fund that was set up through Beth Maloney for the family, as they do not live in the Boston area, and obviously now have tremendous expenses associated with this case. Check with "Free Elizabeth Wray" for more information on this.

 

We need to support this family in any way possible.

If I lived relatively close by, I would be there.

 

It is beyond my comprehension how this can happen.

It's not beyond my comprehension, only because so many of us either live in fear of it happening, or have been the target of reports to CPS. It's disgusting, and my fear is that if they get away with this, the problem will only get way, way worse! Everytime I take DS to the ER, I keep thinking that surely they'll understand, but the last time, we walked out (they put us down as leaving AMA). So, we, as a group absolutely have to get involved one way or another.

Just bumping to encourage people to make as much noise on this issue as possible....

 

 

thanks

I've seen on the Free Elizabeth Wray site that the efforts are helping. I continue to post on Facebook and I emailed two Lyme advocates tonight to see if they can join all the PANS folks. I emailed the Boston Mayor and the Mass child protection commissioner.

I'm bumping this up. The first demonstration outside BCH went off today, apparently without a hitch. There are some great photos on Facebook. I want to make sure that everyone on this forum knows about it, as Elizabeth was diagnosed with Lyme and other infections, but was pulled off her abx at BCH, put on psychotropic meds, and has gone downhill very rapidly. She was also taken away from her parents, and is in the custody of the State of MA!

 

If you are not already involved, please consider doing so...even if just to post on BCH's facebook, contact news media, and come to the demonstrations tomorrow and Saturday, if you can.
