Sad case of what happens when "good policy" goes bad

I'm sure many of you have seen the case. For those who haven't, this is a teenager who had been diagnosed with a condition at one hospital. She got ill with a completely different issue, and was taken to another hospital. The doctors at the second hospital disagreed with the doctors from the first hospital, and since the parents agreed with the doctors of the first hospital, the government took the teenager away from the parents. Her health has progressively deteriorated in the year since this started, but the doctors at the second hospital will not accept that they are wrong.
The government tried to keep this hushed up by issuing a gag order, but the father disobeyed and held a press conference. The gov't has made overtures that they want to arrest him.

    It isa about time that the move to foster care was quashed. Next and immediately should be the return of the teen to her parents.
    Somebody should also sue the crap out of Boston Children's Hospital .for any health related isses the young lady developed while under their "care".
