For the past several months, the Pelletiers have met face-to-face with Justina once weekly in supervised visits of no more than one hour. Now, Massachusetts DCF is denying the Pelletiers visitation with Justina in another blatant act of vindictive punishment.
This new act demonstrates DCF's unwillingness to reunite the family and exposes the agency's lack of interest in the welfare of Justina or the Pelletier family. Instead, DCF is concerned with getting back at a family that spoke out against their heavy-handed custody grab.
By prohibiting Justina from seeing her family, DCF is treating her differently than all other minors at the Framingham facility where she is being held. Even convicted criminals in Massachusetts have more weekly visitation time than Justina Pelletier.
Rev. Pat Mahoney, Pelletier family spokesperson, says he spoke to the family last night. "They are deeply troubled but will not give up their efforts to return Justina home," he said. "It is clear now that the only reason the Pelletiers cannot visit their daughter is because Massachusetts DCF is singling out their family for punishment."
Mahoney continued: "We call on Gov. Patrick and DCF authorities to immediately rectify this mistake. It's clear to everyone that Justina needs to be home with her family and that Massachusetts DCF has no concern for her emotional and physical well-being."
Keith Mason, President of Personhood USA, said: "Justina Pelletier is being treated worse than a prisoner under DCF's care. They are punishing Justina to try to cow the Pelletier family into submission. We can't allow DCF to abuse its authority in this flagrant and grotesque fashion."
No.
Not.
The Social Serpents are the self-righteous do-gooders of the nanny State, Hell-bent on imposing their diktat upon the populace, ever reminding you that in the eyes of the State, your children do NOT BELONG TO YOU.
I have personally observed them lying, using their office to carry out vendettas, trying to retain children long after no abuse or wrongdoing was proven.
I know of a child, dropped off by a playmate's parent in her old neighborhood who was snatched off the street by social services, run through a series of foster homes where she got scabies, head lice, chemical burns on her hands from cleaning (to earn back all the possessions she arrived with), for over a year. The caseworker talked about how she was going to torment the mother in the bars, discussing the case with people who had no professional connection--in violation of State Law.
It took over a year for the parents to get the child back.
Visitation was denied relatives including even grandparents and great-grandparents.
NEVER trust those people. NEVER.
They can enter your home without a warrant, they write their own rules, they are the kiddie Gestapo.
Maybe there are a few who do good for some who need it, but I have not seen them.
Remember:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

My question is why hasn’t this been taken to an appeals court? The people have had their daughter taken from them for over a year. Seems like they have “standing” to challenge the state court.
