What happens when a routine doctor’s visit leads to a parent’s worst nightmare?
Medical Kidnap – the nightmare of losing a child to the custody of a medical hospital, or to the State’s Department of Child Protective Services (CPS). The fact that the term medical kidnap is now part of the lexicon begs the question, do children belong to their parents or are they the property of the State?
In almost every case of medical kidnap, the child is labeled with “a rare medical disorder” and seized with claims that the parents do not have “sufficient training” to properly care for the their child. The string of medical kidnappings in the US began in 2013:
- In February 2013, 14-year old Justina Pelletier was removed from her parents care into the custody of Boston Children’s Hospital for a “rare medical disorder,” mitochondrial disease, (the same disorder for which her older sister had already been successfully treated).
- In 2013, Phoenix Children’s hospital seized 8-year old Christopher Reign because his mother questioned an invasive, risky, painful procedure for her son who had been diagnosed with leukemia and sought a second opinion.
- In September 2013, 10-year old Sarah Hershberger escaped from the U.S. to avoid hospital demands and court orders to undergo 2 years of experimental chemotherapy against her and her parents wishes and advice from other health experts.
- In April 2014, 10 and 12-year old sisters, Kayla and Hannah Diegel, were seized by Phoenix Children’s Hospital over a medical dispute. The girls suffer from a congenital disorder of glycosylation, (CDG, a form of mitochondrial disease.) Part of their condition is also suffering with “Gastroparesis,” which is a partially paralyzed stomach. As a result, they were fed through feeding tubes to bypass the stomach.
- In August 2014, DCS had reportedly removed the child, along with his 2-year-old sibling, from the home of their parents because they suffered from “digeorge syndrome”, which limits delay of essential body functions. DCS had judged that the parents did not have “sufficient training” to properly care for their children. The child died in foster care.
- In September 2014, CPS seized Jaxon Adams, who was taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital and not allowed to see his family. “Jaxon’s parents learned that they stood accused of medical abuse, medical neglect, lack of nutrition, lack of supervision (based on him falling off the scooter when he fainted, although Tiffany was right there when it happened), and psychological abuse.”
On September 21, CPS and the staff at UMC informed Lorie Blalock that they were taking custody of four-month old Kathryn over a “rare genetic condition” called Pierre Robin Sequence. Kathryn began having seizures two days after receiving the Hep B vaccine, against Lorie’s wishes. - On November 6, CPS seized three young, healthy children from Erica Rengos, citing neglect for not giving her son steroids for his eczema, and home-birthing without medical prenatal care with the twins, in addition to allegations of abuse.
Medical entities are taking children away from parents over differences of opinion, for requesting second opinions, and all with the State’s consent. Constitutional lawyers are called in to argue Constitutional rights while children are separated from their parents for months or years, and parents are presumed guilty before proven innocent.
If these blatant kidnappings show anything, they show that any rights or protections Americans thought they enjoyed “under the law” may not exist there for them at all. Could it be that medical kidnapping (for scientific experimentation) is condoned because, through some loophole, it is perfectly legal?
The U.S Supreme Court has repeatedly confirmed the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly provides protection to parents in the “care, custody, and control” of their children, including the right “to direct the upbringing . . . of children under their control.
The U.S. Supreme Court has also ruled that the “primary role of the parents in the upbringing of their children is now established beyond debate as an enduring American tradition,” and “[t]he statist notion that governmental power should supersede parental authority in all cases because some parents abuse and neglect children is repugnant to American tradition.”
There have been some recent victories for parents that appear to confirm these Supreme Court rulings. They would seem to set a precedent for parental rights going forward. In the case of Sarah Hershberger, the judge ruled that the parents were looking out for the best interest of their daughter, and that the hospital had no jurisdiction to remove the child from her family.
Similarly, in November 2104 a Canadian court ruled that the family of a 11-year-old girl with cancer cannot be forced to treat her with chemotherapy. The real reason for her return, however, may have been the girl’s family connection to the Six Nations tribe of American Indians, outside the jurisdiction of the United States government.
But nothing is guaranteed under our current legal structure since the kidnappings continue. Some law scholars claim that the 14th amendment was never officially ratified to ensure these protections.
According to Karl Lentz, who regained custody of his son after the State unlawfully seized him for having Down’s Syndrome, the answer may surprise you. Self-taught in law, Lentz turned a six-year legal battle around overnight by knowing his opponent and playing the game better. Doing his own due diligence, he identifies key strategic points:
1) there is a big difference between legal and lawful.
2) the birth certificate classifies children as property of the State.
3) the Constitution is suspended while under a National Emergency.
4) establishing jurisdiction through the usage of words determines the outcome.
Unlearning everything he was taught, Karl Lentz says we do not have a Constitutional government as most people believe. As the host of his own radio show, he now makes it his mission to teach a simple way of thinking in order to win, resulting in numerous success stories.
Lentz cites the Forward to a Senate Report (93-549) from November 19, 1973, which states that “since March 9, 1933, the US has been in a state of National Declared Emergency.” It was at this time that Congress amended the Trading of the Enemy Act. Specifically, 48 Stat 1 (48th book of Congress, statute 1, section 2, subdivision B) makes the US citizen an enemy of the US by the word PERSON:
During a time of war or during any other period of National Emergency declared by the President the President may control any person within the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
When they write in Legal Ease they change the definition and meaning of words. We cannot be protected by words we do not understand. A PERSON is a corporation, not a living individual. So when we admit we are a person, they claim jurisdiction over us.
Further, Lentz says that because we are in a state of National Emergency, Federal law now exists with a vast range of powers which, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional process. Specifically…
Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communications, regulate the operation of private enterprises, restrict travel and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens.
We have the capacity to take back our rights by knowing the legal definitions of words, knowing who we are, and by knowing the enemy. According to the 1933 Act, the enemy is us. We are also the enemy when we allow parental rights to be usurped based on ignorance of how the game is played. The real enemy is man’s corrupt statutes, which apply to corporations, not man. However, there is also Nature’s Law, or God’s law. God’s law says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
This represents only the tip of the iceberg. For a more detailed history, listen to Lentz’ explanation here. By playing the game with the rules set by the system, we all allow the big lie to continue, with our children left to suffer the consequences. It is often said that the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting different results (Einstein). Has the time finally arrived to do things differently (reframe the language), as Lentz has shown by example?
