From Life News.
Excerpt:
The family of Justina Pelletier, the teenage girl at the center of a national parental rights dispute, vows to pursue legal action against the state of Massachusetts for what they say was essentially an abduction of their daughter.
Earlier this week, Massachusetts Juvenile Court Judge Joseph Johnston signed the order for Justina to go home following a 16-month dispute between her family and state officials. Lou Pelletier said in a text message, “This battle has been finally won. The WAR will not be won until we stop this from happening to ALL CHILDREN!!”
Pelletier, said, “It’s an unbelievably emotional day… I’m still shellshocked. It has been 16 months of torture, but finally justice is being done.”
The first order of business for the family is to get Justina well and evaluate her after her treatment, or lack therof, by state officials. In her sixteen months under the “care” of the state, Justina Pelletier’s health deteriorated from being a vibrant figure skater to being confined to a wheelchair, unable to walk on her own.Pelletier says his daughter has “no feeling at all below her hips” and is now confined to a wheelchair.
In a picture, right, her father is shown having to carry her into their home.
Next, they are considering legal action. The Pelletiers are pursuing legal action against the Massachusetts officials who took custody of Justina.
According to the Hartford Courant:
Pelletier said he plans to pursue legal and legislative action against the Massachusetts officials who took custody of Justina.
“This is just the beginning,” Pelletier said. “There’s going to be a Justina law,” because hospitals are “taking kids, using DCF to be their little wingman. I’m going to be the guy that’s going to change that.”
If you haven’t been following the kidnapping story, the Courant article is a GREAT summary of everything.
I would like to see them sue Massachusetts and maybe score one for parents who are tired of having their parental autonomy and authority undermined by fascists. Taxpayer-funded fascists, no less. The Pelletier family paid for the DCF and the judge to do this to them.
Can you imagine that parents are paying fascists to torture their own child so that she has permanent disabilities? It’s incredible, but that’s what it means to pay taxes to a secular government – you’re paying for things that you would never spend your own earned money on if you had the choice. And they think they are doing you a favor – providing you with a service. Because you are too stupid to know how to parent your own child. Throw them all in jail, throw away the key.

What happened to Justina should NEVER happen to any child or any family. I hope the dad sues them and wins and gets laws passed that prevent this from ever happening again.
Before a child can be removed from a home, it is the state’s responsibility to show conclusively that the parents are violating the child’s inalienable rights. That is the only justification for the state’s involvement. Parents who simply disagree with the state or an “expert” on some aspect of the care or upbringing of their child or who are teaching their child something that isn’t politically correct have every right to do so. Parents have a right to make decisions for their child and to teach their child their own beliefs. Only parents who are placing their child in clear cut danger should have their child removed from their home because the state should step in to protect the child’s rights. Protecting the rights of the people is the state’s primary purpose. However, any removal of a child from a home should be very rapidly (if not simultaneously) accompanied by criminal charges being filed against the parents. If there isn’t enough evidence to charge the parents with abuse or neglect, there isn’t enough evidence to remove the child from the home.

Can they also sue the quack ER intern who said that her condition was all in her head and the hospital for performing the initial abduction against the recommendation of her regular family physician? I guess I am comforted that God will right this wrong, and for that reason alone, the fascists involved in this should tremble. (Just as I do whenever I read His Word, for what it’s worth.)
