Massachusetts DCF claims that it is working towards returning Justina Pelletier home with her family.
Mass. agency says it is actively working to return Justina Pelletier to Connecticut
…Tufts Medical Center, the parents’ first-choice hospital to care for the girl, will be overseeing her medical care.
‘Our primary goal has always been the health and well-being of Justina. We want the parents to be able to work with the providers and courts to ultimately move Justina back to her home state of Connecticut. That is the objective, and is consistent with our previous efforts to find an appropriate placement near her home,’ said agency spokesman Alec Loftus….
Mass. Agency Breaks Silence in Pelletier Case, But Dad Tells Us He’s Not Fully Buying It
A human rights group says it has organized people to make hundreds of calls to court officials asking them to “release Justina Pelletier,” the Connecticut teen at the center of an ongoing, high-profile custody battle.
Keith Mason, president of Personhood USA, said more than 500 calls have been made so far to the office of the Suffolk County Juvenile Court, which is overseeing the Pelletier case. The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families took custody of the 15-year-old last year after doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital disagreed with her parents and another doctor’s diagnosis….
The Pelletiers’ regularly scheduled visitation with Justina was denied today by the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
DCF informed the Pelletiers that contact with their daughter had been cut off because members of the press had independently appeared at the visitation site. Neither the Pelletiers, nor the Free Justina Coalition invited the media, yet the Pelletiers were prevented from seeing their daughter.
The Pelletiers are normally only allowed to visit Justina for one hour per week. In the past, parental visits have been heavily supervised, with several DCF officials and state troopers present.
In response, family spokespersons from the Free Justina Coalition have announced a press conference at DCF offices where the family was supposed to have met with Justina.
The press conference will be held at 30 Dimock Street Roxbury, MA at 4:00pm today.
Is Justina a prison inmate? The decision to keep her parents from seeing her is what they do in prisons when prisoners misbehave.
Justina is not a prison inmate but she being held without her permission and that of her parents. She is a captor of government overreach.
