Justina Pelletier has been held in custody against her will, and against the will of her family, for over a year, simply because a group of doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital disagreed with her diagnosis by her physician at Tuft’s Medical Center. Justina’s family was referred to some specialists at Boston Children’s Hospital regarding her condition, mitochondrial disease, but instead a different set of doctors intervened and said her condition was psychological. When the parents disagreed, they were escorted by security out of the hospital and ended up losing custody of their daughter who was then confined to a psychiatric ward at the hospital.
Justina herself is never present at court hearings where Judge Joseph Johnston has refused to return her custody to her parents, so her voice in the matter is never heard. Her family recorded the above video so people can hear Justina’s voice in the matter.
