Massachusetts Bureaucrats Refuse to Return Teenager to Parents



[From article]
The Pelletiers, their lawyers and Hathaway agreed to a plan in which Justina would be returned home immediately with certain conditions, but "DCF opposed that," Mahoney said.
Mahoney said he was contacted Friday by Polanowicz, who set up the meeting held Monday. That meeting lasted 90 minutes and involved Deveney, he said.
"Our hope was that the Hathaway plan would be adopted and Justina would be returned home with certain stipulations. Tragically, that is not what happened," Mahoney said.
He said "it's our understanding that the HHS spokesperson sent" a letter containing the new plan to members of the media "a little after 12, when … we hadn't even seen the letter then. So it's extremely troubling that the media and members of the press looked at this so-called reunification plan before the Pelletiers even saw it."
