The grinning 16-year-old was freed from the secure unit she’d been held at after her parents dramatically won custody on Tuesday.
'I’m so happy. I’m so excited,' Justina said, as she celebrated her first taste of freedom.

She is finally headed home. Thank you, G-d, for reuniting her with her parents.

WOOHOO! GRRRREAT news!

Thank God.
Hope she gets 10 trillion
I’ll bet her health improves as she will be in a far better mood and as such hopefully it will accelerate her recovery.
