Mom of Sick Connecticut Teen 'Collapses' in Court After Judge Sends Kid to Foster Care

[magical thyme]

112. the child has been out of her parent's care for over a year

and in the care of Children's psych ward.

If her parents had been abusing her, certainly there should have been some improvement over the course of more than a year while her exposure to them was limited to 1 supervised hour/week.

Instead, her condition has deteriorated since her treatment for mitochondrial disease replaced with treatment for "somatoform disorder," a psychiatric diagnosis formerly known as a subset of Freud's "hysteria" and based on an unproven hypothesis that has time and again proven a catchall for "we can't find anything physically wrong with you, so it's all in your head...until we discovered tb isn't psychosomatic, ulcers aren't psychosomatic, lyme disease isn't psychosomatic, and so on.

You do realize, don't you, that the abuse claim was based on her parents getting a 2nd opinion and getting her treated per her doctors orders, don't you. Not a fake doctor, either. A highly qualified specialist who coordinated her overall care.
