DRS DIAGNOSE 11 YR OLD AND CPS NOW REFUSES TO TREAT HIM?

BOYLE HEIGHTS, CA July 14, 2013: “They were avoiding a diagnosis because the –insurance company didn’t want to pay.” We were told privately. It was only thru Katie & Stacey at MDA & a long battle that we were even able to admit our son into Ranchos Los Amigos Hospital. Child Protective Services argued that the parents were medically neglecting the child. How do those two ideas even go together? Still, it was CPS’ letter that ended the kid’s treatment. They want it both ways, to say there is nothing wrong so let’s get the child’s insurance canceled or there is something wrong with him and the dad did nothing. For many it’s simple. They can’t afford to have the Father be a credible witness against CPS in the upcoming civil trial-even if that means they must commit medical neglect to achieve their ends. Is it a coincidence that the doctor that gave 11 yr old Aeylias Lopez the diagnosis was dismissed from the case by Ranchos Los Amigos? That “Two weeks BEFORE the boy was going to get his leg braces they were CANCELLED?” asks the boy’s father, Sebastian. The lead doctor at Ranchos said “–he may still come down with Muscular Dystrophy when he‘s older–” You don’t “-come down with MD-” no more then you come down with blue eyes. You either have it or you don’t. What is going on here?

Prior to CPS there WAS consensus on the diagnosis; tibial torsion, hip dysplasia and thoraxic scoliosis, proving that paying for health care is compulsory-getting actual care is discretionary. People want to talk about ‘OBAMACARE’– what’s this called “we-just-don’t-care”? If someone has heart failure you don’t say UNTIL we know why, you get no CPR– For CPS the timing couldn’t be worse since they let 2 little boys die under their watch. An insider said they don’t want another ‘embarrassment’ there’s a lot of pressure to falsify a report against the parents.

It is not if you pursue medical treatment but how successful you are at getting it. If you cannot convince doctors that your child needs medical attention and CPS says they do, you’re in trouble. Parents are not necessarily free to make medical decisions given to them by their doctors– look at what happened with the Nikolayev case. The parents weren’t even allowed to get a 2nd opinion. CPS instead swooped in with cops ready to exchange blows to take that child away. Social workers are now your primary care physician. Further, without a doctor Cps was able to medically ‘diagnose’ the father who was a victim of a hit run in 2000 but instead argued he was “insane” and not a victim of traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. They’ve seen too many “Exorcist” movies, and epilepsy frightened them much like a cave man fearing fire. CPS launched allegations of ‘voodoo”, ‘magic’ and ‘elephants”. As parents you better not be disabled or god forbid have cancer. They engage in character assassination. Just as whenever an employee whistle blows he becomes a “disgruntled employee”. “I blew the whistle on CPS and they retaliated against me,” explained the father. Is it ironic that the department that’s supposed to protect children is engaging in child abuse in order to protect themselves from civil liability? Is the theory that it’s ok to abuse children if CPS needs to ‘protect’ itself? Has the organization now become more important than the kids it’s supposed to be defending? Make no mistake about it–to deny medical treatment to my son is child abuse. To some it’s clear that Ranchos Los Amigos has been ‘gotten to” — As they ‘discharged’ us-which is a polite way of saying they kicked us out without explanation. After 2 years they demanded we get a NEW pediatrician to ‘re-refer’ him so he can be ‘re-diagnosed’ to be ‘re-treated‘. We must have an “Acceptable re-referral” or we ‘can’t return” to Ranchos. How dos this make sense to any human being AND what will happens if we are not successful at getting the doctors & cps to AGREE?

I’m inviting people to do the right thing by going to “gofundme” type in Aeylias Lopez–and send the bureaucrats a “message” that only doctors can make diagnoses NOW treat him. These braces definitely have the power to change my son’s life. Just an inch correction can mean the difference of being able to run for real and to stop him from falling, end the pain from his legs twisting or simply to let it go on for another 10 yrs. They can fix this. He wants to play tag–why can’t he–? “Is anyone going to help me get my braces? “ Aeylias asks. We have no choice we got to get them. They won’t help him so we have to raise the money ourselves. Is CPS role to work WITH doctors or instead to become doctors and have the power to veto them?
