Boston, MA – Today the tragic case of Justina Pelletier will return to court before Judge Johnston in the Suffolk County Juvenile Court in Boston. The case has been dragging on for 14 months, during which time she has been denied education and religious services or clergy visits and has had abysmal medical care while in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF). She has only been allowed one hour-long, supervised visit per week with her mom and dad, and they have not been permitted to take photographs of their daughter. But, following new legal pressure asserted by Liberty Counsel and intense media scrutiny, DCF permitted the most recent visitation to be unsupervised. Rev. Pat Mahoney accompanied Lou and Linda Pelletier to visit Justina.
