CASSANDRA C.'S HOMECOMING REPORTED BY HARTFORD COURANT LAST APRIL! SORRY I MISSED THAT!

On April 27, 2015, Josh Kovner of "The Hartford Courant" reported as follows:


"WINDSOR LOCKS — She went into the hospital five months ago identified in court papers as Cassandra C., the Windsor Locks teenager taken into state custody and forced by court order to receive chemotherapy for her Hodgkin's lymphoma after rejecting the treatment and running away.

She came out of the hospital Monday afternoon as Cassandra Callender, 17, cancer free, with a glowing smile, her face flushed by the first gulps of outdoor air since December, her brown her growing back in over dark eyes.

She was ready to hug her cat, wolf down her mom Jackie Fortin's shepherd's pie and mac and cheese, sleep in her own bed, and see where she stands at Windsor Locks High School, where she would have walked with her graduating class in June had she not become an international news story and a poster girl for those who advocate alternatives to chemotherapy..."

TY BOLLINGER INTERVIEW WITH CASSANDRA C.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CASSANDRA C. FINALLY REVEALED!

Ty Bollinger of "The Truth About Cancer" reports as follows:
"Imagine your 17 year old daughter gets the diagnosis of cancer. You both do research on treatment options and see that chemotherapy is toxic with potentially long standing, irreversible consequences: damage to the reproductive organs, bladder, heart,  lungs, nervous system, kidneys, and more. You and your daughter decide not to do it and choose to take a different route; one that is safer and is non-toxic.
Much to your shock, while you are out shopping, your daughter is home and the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) shows up at your door (with 12 police cars no less, to kidnap your daughter and force her to do chemotherapy against her will and your wishes.)
What would you do?
Finally, revealed in The Truth About Cancer’s exclusive interview is the true story about Cassandra Callender (aka “Cassandra C.”) and her real life medical kidnapping and how she was forced to do chemotherapy against her will.
This is the first video interview that Cassandra has given, and The Truth About Cancer is honored to be able to share this exclusive interview with you."

Alex Ceneviva of WTNH News 8 reports as follows:


WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH)– A judge has ruled that West Hartford teen Cassandra C. must continue chemotherapy at the hospital.

ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS CASSANDRA C. -- READY TO GO HOME!

The Associated Press reports as follows:

"HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A 17-year-old girl who was forced to undergo chemotherapy testified Monday at a closed door hearing where she and her mother are seeking her release from state custody.

The teen, identified only as Cassandra C., testified by teleconference in Juvenile Court, according to attorneys.

The teen learned recently that her cancer is in remission and she is no longer fighting the treatment. But she and her mother are asking to end her custody by the Department of Children and Families so she can go home now instead of waiting until the chemotherapy is complete next month..."

ATTORNEY NORM PATTIS SPEAKS OUT IN THE NEW HAVEN REGISTER ON BEHALF OF CASSANDRA C. AND HER MOM!

Attorney Norm Pattis shares his views on Cassandra C. as follows:
 
"Dying scares me less than suffering. Perhaps that’s because I’ve reached an age at which I attend more funerals than weddings. But I can imagine nothing more terrifying than to be forced to suffer. So my heart goes out to Cassandra C., the young 17-year-old kidnapped by the state and forced, against her will, to undergo chemotherapy.

Yes, I said kidnapped.
 
The word was chosen with care, and is calculated to rankle Joette Katz and her colleagues at the Department of Children and Families. The law may be on the department’s side as to Cassandra, but so much the worse for the law. Parents statewide can’t help but shudder over the notion that when if comes to child rearing, Big Sister knows best..."

CORRUPTCT ANNOUNCES RALLY FOR CASSANDRA C THIS SATURDAY 1/24!

A Rally to raise awareness of what has happened to Cassandra C. Stop the injustice. Join together and make a difference. Every person counts.

Silence has allowed DCF to take over our children, to take over our medical decision making for OUR children. Connecticut DCF, CPS/DCYF/DCFS, are kidnapping our children, children that are in loving homes.


If we remain silent, then this problem will only continue to get worse. We need to unite as parents, as a community, as caring citizens. We must end the silence by gathering together peacefully, as one.


Far too many children are being taken. Be a part of the problem or part of the solution. Be there to support Cassandra C and her mother, together we can raise the much needed awareness.
