A number of forces are fighting over the care of Connecticut teen Justina Pelletier. Parents Lou and Linda Pelletier agree with doctors at Tufts Medical Center who claim Justina has mitochondrial disease. But Boston Children's Hospital diagnosed Justina with a mental illness and accused the Pelletiers of over-medicating their child. The state of Massachusetts has assumed custody of the teen while the battle rages on.
Why is this important?
I'm starting this petition as a way to hopefully help the Pelletier family. This injustices that have been done on this girl and the family is unfathomable and outright criminal. This is AMERICA! NO ONE has a right to hold someone from their family as this hospital has done. Please sign this and show the Governer, Deval Patrick, that he needs to step up and do something before this girl dies.
