Protest/Rally for Justina


Recommended Posts

Please join us to support the Pelletier family at what could be the last court date to decide whether custody of Justina will be given back to her parents or if custody will be awarded to the state of MA . Remember...this could be any of us. There have now been at least 5 children that this has happened to in the past 18 months. Justina has been locked in psych wards for the past year (1 year this month!!!) All because her parents were following the medical directives of her metabolism specialist from Tufts University. I hope many of you can come. This will be in front of the Court House: 24 New Chardon Street, Boston, MA 02114, on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2013, 10:00 - 2:00 pm.

I, too, wish I could attend. I have been to the last 2 (the first for Elizabeth Wray last year, and then the one in January for Justina.) Went up by train. I have a major meeting I have to be at that day, and cannot get out of it.

 

The last one for Justina, on January 10, when we were fearful she would be permanently taken from her parents...only about 20 people showed up. There needs to be hundreds of people there. Right now, child protective services in MA is under fire, because a child who was truly at risk, disappeared, and is presumed dead. The persona who was supposed to be keeping an eye on him wasn't. So, now they are even coming down even harder on Justina and her family. This child has been in DPS custody, and locked on psych wards for the past year. It's disgusting, and will only continue if enough people don't make a huge statement. So, if there's any way you can get there (I got to the last 2 by train...took the train that left at 1 a.m., to arrive by 8 a.m., and was home that night by about 9 or 10 pm), I would really push to get there.

 

DPS would still like to push for permanent custody. This child may be dying. She walked into the hospital, and is now confined to a wheelchair. It's just awful.
