Should doctors and bureaucrats be able to treat children like property instead of persons? We don’t think so. That’s why we need you to stand up for Justina.
15-year-old Justina Pelletier is in the fight of her life. After being diagnosed and treated for a rare genetic disorder, Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) overruled the diagnosis and said it was “all just in her head.” With the help of the Department of Children and Families, they seized custody of Justina and locked her up in the psych ward—against her and her parents’ wishes.
Now a resolution is circulating in the Massachusetts State Assembly to Free Justina! We need you to urge the governor and state legislators to throw their weight behind this resolution. Please sign your name below and follow the instructions to send your letter! It's quick, easy, and most important—it makes a difference.
The State of Massachusetts and Boston Children’s Hospital need to honor the rights of Justina and her parents. This resolution calls on the Department of Children and Families to begin the process of releasing Justina back to her family so she can receive the proper care and therapy she needs. Justina’s health is rapidly deteriorating, so time is of the essence.
The resolution to Free Justina is being circulated by Representatives Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Jim Lyons (R-Andover). They need support to pass the resolution, so ask the governor and state representatives to get behind it!
