Medical kidnapping is defined as the state taking away children from their parents and putting them into state custody and the foster care system, simply because the parents did not agree with a doctor regarding their prescribed medical treatment for the family.”  You can view the source of this definition here.

This narrow assessment doesn’t include, but should, any time that a medical professional takes a family member or individual from the least restrictive environment to a restrictive environment and decides to change treatment.

We decided to link this story in the hopes of broadening awareness.  We want to be very careful to not paint a broad brush across the entire healthcare industry.  There are very many good and honest medical professionals working tirelessly to help their patients.

In many ways this is what happened to Derya and is happening across our country.  It is something we all need to be aware of so that we can protect our loved ones.
