quote frm...The Marketing of Justina ...If you are unfamiliar with Justina Pelletier, she is fifteen years old, suffers from a little known disease and has spent over a year in the custody of the Massachusetts Division of Children and Families (DCF), mostly as a patient in the psychiatric unit at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH). She was removed from her parents after an ER doctor at BCH disagreed with Justina’s mitochondrial diagnosis and treatment plan. She was under the care doctors at Tufts in her home state of Connecticut and fell ill with the flu while visiting Boston. In the span of less than 24 hours, BCH psychiatrists examined Justina and made a determination she suffers from a mental disorder, caused by over-attentive parents who were over-medicating her with an assorted batch of supplements. When the Pelletiers refused to sign a treatment plan requiring them to dramatically change their daughter’s course of treatment, DCF was called and Justina was placed in the custody of the State of Massachusetts, where she remains.
