Sometimes it gets disheartening writing about powerful institutions both in and out of government exercising power over America's families- a feeling of hopelessness begins to set in. I'm working on a post for tomorrow that traces the legislative history of CPS and the legion of "experts" depending on them to tear our families asunder... all to make a buck. But sometimes something good happens- the bad stuff strengthens my resolve, the good stuff gives me hope... this is a story of hope.
"A hallmark of a free people is the ability to think for ourselves, which includes the right to question, to seek out truth, and to hold opinions that are different from those of someone else.
If, however, the person that parents question is a doctor, the cherished American value of this basic liberty may be squashed by a simple phone call to Child Protective Services, after which custody of the child is seized by the state.
Medical kidnapping has become the go-to punishment for those parents who dare to question their children’s doctors. With ancient religious fervor, medical “heretics” are seeing their families ripped apart.
At a recent rally for families in front of Phoenix Children’s Hospital, a former nurse spoke out about the abuses that she has seen at the hospital. She told the group: 'I didn't go into healthcare to steal children.'" Her name is Kasandra Ellen, RN, and she has the courage to speak out against what we all see as a tragic injustice.
Kasandra has quit the hospital but still practices in a naturopathic facility. This heartbreaking video of a 15 year old autistic boy being taken away from his mother is what caused nurse Ellen to seek employment elsewhere...
Arizona has perhaps the worst CPS in the country as far as competence is concerned and now the medical community has become complicit. If it wasn't for people like Kasandra speaking out, none of these things would see the light of day. The doctors, she says, know what's going on:
"I think a lot of these people who are in the healthcare field don’t see it. And some of them do. Some of the doctors definitely do.
Part of it is ego – it’s like we’re in this society where you don’t question the doctor. You do what the doctor says, and we’re kind of brainwashed with that from the time we’re young.
So when you don’t question what the doctor says, and then someone actually does, they don’t like that. They don’t like to be questioned.
It’s almost like a punishment. It’s like, “How dare you question me, because ‘I’m the doctor,’ right? I am like the god-doctor. How dare you question me!”
This hubris is confirmed by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn...
She described the situation that prompted the day long rally on Saturday, October 27, 2017, attracting a total of about 200 activists and parents throughout the course of the day: the medical kidnapping situation of a 15-year-old autistic boy, Jonathon Zeek. (The boy in the video) I'm linking the article which also has two videos of Nurse Ellen speaking to the crowd. Thank God for medical professionals who come forward to speak out against injustice.
