That's not what I read or am hearing on the news or talk shows. There was just a different diagnosis by another doctor earlier at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. The parents went with that diagnosis--they weren't causing it. Doctors can disagree.

Recently, the state decided to exit the situation after it became clear I guess that doctors at different hospitals have different opinions about the situation and it's not really clear what's right. But still, a very unfortunate situation overall.

Oh really, recently? That was the case made by the parents and others including other experts. The news up there must really be delinquent in their reporting 'cause the national news has been all over it reporting differently. If the state has decided to exit the situation it's because national news brought attention to this as an abuse of parental rights.

Unfortunately, there are crazy parents out there who misuse their children to get "attention", and the concern was that these parents were doing just that, to the serious detriment of their daughter.

You are the ONLY person I have ever heard make such a statement by taking the side of a psychiatrist who reported the parents to the state of Massachusetts for medical child abuse for following their doctor's diagnosis when this was just a difference of medical opinion. In the meantime her health worsened.
Even others in the psychology profession in Mass said they're ashamed at how their profession has acted in this case.You truly deserve to live in such a Stalinesque state.
