URGENT--Texas Child needs our HELP

[Guest guest]

I have called sources and 100% verified the following to be true. This child and

his Mother need all of our help also we cannot allow Texas officials to set a

dangerous precedent.

Pres and cofounder of Stand Up For Lyme   Kocurek has given me permission

to state that HE personally can and will vouch for the validity and accuracy of

the following!!

Subject: Appeal for San Autism/Lyme/CPS Case

STAND UP FOR LYME <texaslyme@...>

STAND UP FOR LYME made the original physician referral for this special needs

child and has watched the case situation closely, and knows the information to

be acccurate and the cause authentic. This is a case that must be made public,

because not only is this little boy affected, but it affects all of us.  The

appeal is being made nationally because of its importance to the entire Lyme

community.

 

Texas has two IDSA Board members, one in Houston, and one in San who is

the Interim  Chair of Medicine at UT-HSC-SA.  The San member is also

President of the Texas ID Society and has had guiding interaction with the Texas

Medical Association and the Texas Medical Board.

 1000 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED -

 TO SAVE A CHILD!

The eyes of the nation are on San , Texas.  An influential opposition

has, with malicious intent, lined up to make the following a benchmark case

against right to treatment choice where multiple protocols exist.  A loss will

be devastating not only to this family, but also to the future of medical care

access to everyone suffering from a disputed medical condition and especially to

those, present or future, suffering with Lyme disease. 

Marc, a nine-year-old Autistic child with confirmed Lyme disease, and his mom

are under attack by San Child Protective Services (CPS) because the mom

sought competent medical treatment for Marc.  When she contacted us for help,

she pleaded, " Please help me to save my son – he is dying! "   In fact, without

knowledgeable medical care, he was losing his vision and had already lost 30

pounds. 

Uninformed physicians supporting the Infectious Diseases Society of America

(IDSA) and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) position on Lyme disease

instigated the report to an equally uninformed CPS. 

CPS has interfered with the legal medical care of this special needs child

without any due diligence.  Their first intervention was an invasive

confrontation indicating no desire to understand or resolve conflicting and

debatable medical opinion widely known to be suspect [Findings by Connecticut

Attorney

General Blumenthal, Reported May 1, 2008]. 

The child is now subject to removal to institutional care with an equal lack of

understanding and skill and Marc's mom is being pursued for criminal charges. 

Texas CPS, the foster care system, and contracted physician services have a

documented history of questionable actions and deadly results [Ramshaw, E.,

Dallas Morning News, August 17, 2008]. 

CPS and the San district have been in the spotlight for a number of

missteps, the most recent being their mishandling of the abusive FLDS polygamist

group situation in West Texas.  San CPS needs to regain credibility. 

The local County District Attorney needs to recover from a series of strong

criticisms in preparation for a 2010 reelection campaign. Such self-promotion of

authority makes their prosecution of this matter highly questionable.  The

protectors from child abuse have become the abusers. 

1000 people making a gift of $10 or more to this cause can provide the support

and legal assistance to defend this egregious insult to the right of all parents

to choose medical care for their children. 

 Please visit www.letssavemarc.org for more information and to see how you can

help.  This effort is sponsored by Child Protection and Safety (CPAS,

www.childprotectionandsafety.org), a Nonprofit Association dedicated to

providing resources to children and their families placed in duress and legal

jeopardy by authorities interfering with proper medical care.  CPAS is direct

ed by a Board of patients & patient advocates known for their work in their own

states and nationally. 

Only $10 to thwart this attack –

save a child's life –

and ultimately, OUR OWN RIGHTS.
