Maybe she’s like the girl on “Believe”.

Sorry, but if I were her father, I would hunt down this judge and give him the opinion of my model 700. Up close and in person. We have reached the point where a family cannot keep its children. That to me is too far, and extra-judicial means become justified. I will be damned if some judge will tell me I cannot keep my child in my family...Time to take action is now....

This is stunning and I think there is more to this story. We were in a four year battle to obtain custody of my then three yo niece. Her mother, not married but living with the father was killed in a car accident. The father had a criminal record of drugs, theft, weapons charges and assault with a deadly weapon. At the time of her death there was a warrant for his arrest. He was never employed, had a dishonorable discharge as well as a diagnosed mental illness. There was evidence of child sexual abuse of his other child by a previous marriage.

The county we lived in did everything they could to reunite him with this child. ( In the best interest of the child) Everything, including lying and falsifying evidence. We eventually gained permanent custody but it was a long climb up. Incidentally, twenty-five years later he is in prison for first degree murder, serving a life sentence........we were right.

This is unlike any child protective service I have ever heard of.

I pray she survives and sues the living crap out of them when she is able to get out.

That judge needs to be disbarred and everyone involved in taking this child from her parents, should be brought up on kidnapping charges.

This is INSANE!!!!

Two things come to mind. Habeas Corpus or emancipation.

extra-judicial means become justified...

Let me second that motion. These "civil" issues can no longer be resolved by "being civil." If the state insists on tyranny, let it reap its own reward.

Judge Rules Justina Pelletier to Remain in State’s Custody

In response to the Boston Globe’s report that the state will retain “permanent” custody, Staver said, “there’s no way they could have done that.”

The Pelletiers say their daughter’s health is deteriorating. Two weeks ago at the one in-person visit they’re allowed per week with her, they said they noticed marks on her stomach that were worrying enough that they called them to the attention of Justina’s caretakers, who took her to the emergency room the next day.

Jennifer Pelletier, Justina’s sister, said in the most recent visit, Justina’s legs were more swollen and she lost feeling in her feet.

On Monday, the Pelletiers and their lawyers filed a contempt of court motion against DCF.

“DCF has abused its authority. DCF had no right to come between Justina and medical care,” Staver continued, noting that DCF said it would not bring Justina to Tufts until after Tuesday’s decision.

So what’s really going on with this girl? I can’t help thinking there’s something fairly basic about this situation that isn’t making it into these stories. Is there an allegation that the parents are causing some or all of the problem?

Which party appointed this judge? I’ll give you a hint, it starts with Dumb.

And you would be wrong. He was appointed by Governor Swift, a Republican.

Organize a march on his home and courthouse. Hundreds with placards, maybe thousands. They need to make a big, big stink outta this deal in public.

The only press the parents get is from The Blaze and Beck.

I’m less concerned by Putin and Karzai than what our own government is doing to us right here and now.

I’m speechless over this also-—it makes no sense.

I wonder if there’s something we aren’t being told although the way thing are today nothing would surprise me.

What a world.

Ah yes! Fat Jane from North Adams. Quite the RINO was she!

This case is also getting press on “The Howie Carr Show,”
a radio show broadcast every weekday afternoon from Boston to all six New England states and beyond.
