For whatever reason, this story is getting next to no traction here. I wish I knew why.

I can only speak for myself, but the story gets no traction with me because Justina's mother looks like a flaming example of Munchhausen's Syndrome by Proxy (or whatever this syndrome is called today).

This doesn't mean I put any trust whatsoever in the State of Taxachusetts, nor in Child Protective Services, nor in doctors, nor in hospitals, nor in officious social workers. On the contrary, really, because I have been on the receiving end of abuse from some of those entities myself.

However I have also seen mothers who make their children sick, because of their own extremely disordered personalities. Often the fathers in these cases go along with the delusional mother for the sake of keeping relative peace in the family.

I'm sorry for the daughter, and also sorry for the decent but naive people who have gotten sucked into the crazy scam, like Mike Huckabee.

I’ve yet to see any evidence that this child should be anywhere but with her parents.

We have plenty of evidence that Justina’s condition has deteriorated significantly since the state took custody of her.

What’s your evidence against the mother?

That would certainly explain why she's gotten more sick since being taken away from the mother. RME.

The girl is objectively getting worse under state care and away from her parents. This falsifies your theory.
