“UPDATE: Read latest news on this story here.

I’d posted an article about this earlier and it appears this young girl is still being held captive and her health is rapidly declining under the “care” of the state. It’s amazing that something like this can take place in America. You can go to www.freejustina.com if you would like to help the family in this outrageous situation.”  Admin

Glenn Beck on Tuesday implored his listeners to speak up over the case of Justina Pelletier, a 15-year-old who has been at the center of a fierce battle between her parents, the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Boston Children’s Hospital.

“I have been in this fight before, with Terri Schiavo,” Beck said. “That one we lost. We might lose Justina.”

For those not familiar with the case, a little more than one year ago, Justina’s parents lost custody after disagreeing with a Boston Children’s Hospital diagnosis that their daughter had somatoform disorder, a psychiatric condition. They believed she had mitochondrial disease, a condition she had been receiving treatment for by doctors at Tufts Medical Center.

The parents were accused of “over-medicalizing” their daughter, and are now restricted to 20-minute, monitored phone calls and weekly visits with their child at a DCF facility.

But while Justina’s condition would have presumably improved once she was removed from the care of her “over-medicalizing” parents, Lou Pelletier, the girl’s father, said her condition is rapidly worsening.
