‘Medical kidnapping’– a hidden crisis occurring all over the U.S.

How your child or grandchild can be kidnapped — legally

It’s almost too awful to believe.

Young children — even infants — are being forcibly taken out of their parents’ and grandparents’ arms by sick, power-hungry bureaucrats.

The stories are coming in from all over the country. And while the real numbers of cases are unknown, many say it’s in the thousands.

Others, however, believe it’s much, much higher.

It’s all because of a corrupt system deceitfully called “child protective” services.

One that’s striping us of our most basic rights as parents — and as citizens of the United States of America.

And it’s spiraling out of control.

It’s being called “medical kidnapping.”

A way for the authorities to turn parents into criminals when they disagree with doctors.

These aren’t people who are refusing medical care for sick children. Or ones who are trying some kind of voodoo instead of seeking a doctor’s opinion.

No, these are caring, loving and intelligent people who are looking for the best care possible for their kids.

And the only “crime” they’ve committed is to disagree with the authorities.

We’re learning more about this crisis every day, thanks to parents and grandparents who are refusing to keep quiet, even under threat of arrest.

That’s how we heard about Justina Pelletier.

She’s a teen from Connecticut who has become the poster child for this abuse of power.

Justina was being treated by doctors at prestigious Tufts hospital near Boston for mitochondrial disease — a genetic illness that can cause terrible symptoms all over the body.

In February of 2013, Justina had an attack so severe that she was rushed to the hospital. Only she wasn’t taken to Tufts, but to Boston Children’s Hospital.

And that’s when things turned upside down for Justina and her family.

The Boston Children’s doctors decided that her diagnosis was wrong. She didn’t have this genetic disorder that two experts had been treating her for at Tufts. No, she had mental problems. It was “all in her head.”

Justina wasn’t even allowed to be seen by the doctors who had been treating her for over a year!

So when her parents attempted to get her discharged and taken back to Tufts, they were reported to the state of Massachusetts for suspicion of “medical child abuse.”

Justina became a ward of the state, and her parents had no say in her treatment or even where she was being taken.

Where she was taken is even more shocking — if that’s possible.

Instead of providing this young girl proper medical care, she was taken to the hospital’s psychiatric unit!

A place where she was no doubt given dangerous drugs for her so-called “mental” disease.

And that’s where she was held captive for almost a year and a half.

This summer Justina made a heartbreaking plea to the judge presiding over her case and the governor of Massachusetts to be released.

Through tears, the petite, wheelchair-bound little girl told the world, “All I want to really be with are my family and friends back home. You can do it. Please let me go home, Judge Johnston and Governor Patrick. Please, right now, let me go home. I need to be home with my family.”

Perhaps it was Justina’s moving appeal, or maybe the fact that people all over the country, from Michael Graham to Glenn Beck to Justina’s doctors at Tufts, were demanding that she be allowed to go home.

And finally this June, Justina was released and reunited with her family.

But Justina’s story is just one of many.

There’s 17-month old Jaxon Gilmore. Jaxon was a preemie, and suffers from numerous complex health problems. His grandmother, who has a nursing degree, was in charge of his care. She finally located a doctor who was able to diagnose the cause of his daily seizures and get him on the right medication.

And it was working.

But suddenly Connecticut Child Protective Services stepped in and accused her of “doctor shopping,” and seized temporary custody of Jaxon.

This is outrageous! Isn’t doctor shopping” also known as getting a “second opinion?”

Despite everything his grandmother has tried so far, Jaxon is still being held hostage by the state.

And I could tell you about dozens of other cases similar to these two.

It’s becoming very obvious that something needs to be done to stop this.

And to stop it now.
