5:01 pm
ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. irges thank you. thank you very much. welcome from the fox studios in new york city. tonight you'll meet justine pelletier, back with her family after being held hostage by the state of massachusetts, as she and her family shared their story here for the first time since she's been back home. i've just returned from israel, where i've been all this week, and where i met the family of a 16-year-old american sid zen teenage boy kidnapped by the terror group hamas. the new official partner of the palestinian authority. the boy and his two classmates are still missing. my visit with that family is coming later in our show. meanwhile, here at home, more shocking revelations of the
5:02 pm
criminal intersurprise known as the irs, and the ridiculous story that evidence and their crips conveniently went missing. now we've learned also that the v.a. has failed to serve or veterans much worse than we ever thought. senator tom coburn reported that there weren't 40 deaths attributed to the mismanagement 1,000. these are people who survived the battlefield, but couldn't survive a bureaucratic minefield that protected v.a. workers at the expense of our returning warriors. even the liberals on the supreme court couldn't abide the lawless and req his regard for appointments to the labor board. they voted 9-0 to overturn his heavyhanded and autocratic rule of his famous pen and phone. in two other rare unanimous votes, the supreme court ruled that government can't just snoop through your smartphone, because
5:03 pm
they stop you do speeding. also, that the government can't strip the first amendment rights of pro-life advocates who stand on public sidewalks next to aboorgs mills. now, if you detect a pattern in all of these stories, it's because in every one of them, government is working against the people instead of for them. government can be like fire, a little can cook food and warm a home. too much and the house burns down. our world is on fire, because whether it's the state of massachusetts believes it can trample all over the rights of a mother and father, or a terrorist organization that becomes mart of a palestinian government that, by the way, your tax dollars continue to fund even as it celebrates the kidnapping of three schoolboys. our a medical system entrusted to care for our soldiers that instead kills them, or a rogue agency so driven by blind, partisan and political zeal, to
5:04 pm
carry out revenge, or maybe to stifle basic and fundamental constitutional rights of freedom of speech and free drop from unlawful search and seizures. houston, we have a problem, and the problem is that government has become a cancer instead of a cure. government that destroys healthy parts of our freedom to feed itself, and disregards its intended purpose. to serve, and to serve with honor. our republic and the world itself is on the brink of collapse because of the lack of moral direction from those who are to lead citizen instead of to bleed them. we know the problem, but it's time that we demand a solution, and that requires drastically diminishing the power of the pollute ocrates and return the power to the people before the last voice of liberty is enough out, we better do it now.
5:05 pm
in february of 2013, lieu and linda brought their daughter to the boston children's hospital emergency room what they didn't know was that they were about to experience a nightmare that lasted nearly a year and a half. >> she's always been treated differently. every patient could talk to their parents, have free discussions with no supervision. justina could not only not see us, but not to you can us. birthdays, easter, christmas, thanksgiving, she was alone. >> this is what justina's life was like. isolated from her loved ones and in custody of the commonwealth of massachusetts. >> she went to boston children's for one reason, to be a direct admission to the gi department to see her doctor. >> instead she was taken without
5:06 pm
any notice and brought up to the neurology floor. as far as i know based on fbi involvement, that is kidnapping. >> the psychological route, that experiment has failed. obviously she's? very severe physical distress. >> reporter: she went most of her time in whyside, a mental health facility in massachusetts. as her health was clearly sidelining under state care, we continued to fight for her release on this show. if it happens to you, it can happen to any parent in this country. that should never happened in the united states of america. if i'm bringing light to this case helps justina get the medical help she deserves and needs, and reunited with the family, then i apologize for nothing. i hope the state of massachusetts will apologize to justina and her family. in april reverend mahoney appeared on our show to discuss a face-to-face encounter he with massachusetts governor deval patrick. >> you don't have a reunification plan.
5:07 pm
>> well, the sort of -- >> let me finish. we've appeared in court in off to have her sent home. >> let's see if they'll end this nightmare. parents know what's best for their children more than government or bureaucracy. >> by may 12th, the state ordered that justina could be removed from massachusetts, but not yet home to her family. justina arrived at a connecticut facility. the only thing standing between justina reuniting with her family was massachusetts's judge joseph johnson. justina pleaded with him. >> you can do it. you're the one judging this. please let me go home, judge johnson. >> finally, the judge signed the order on june 17th. her ordeal was finally over. she was returned to connecticut, back to her home, back to her family, and back to her life. >> ladies and gentlemen, it's my
5:08 pm
real pleasure to welcome justina to our show. s so glad you are here. also with us are her incredibly brave parents, lou and linda, and sisters julia, jessica and jennifer. thank all of you for being here. what an honor. justina, i can't tell you how excited i am to finally meet you in person. >> well, thank you. >> did you know all these people were praying for you while you were away? >> yeah. i -- i heard from people from people, it was -- it made me feel so much better to be having it. it helped me go through it. >> you went through something no one, no one should ever have to go through. i think everybody in america who
5:09 pm
heard about your situation, they were outraged by it, but now that you're out, i want to ask you -- when you were there, what was the hardest part? being separated from your family? not being able to just talk to them whenever you wanted to? >> yeah, it was hard, very hard. i couldn't see my family at all. an hour a week supervised with dcs, and only one phone call a week supervised, with dcf, and it was really hard. you couldn't talk about things that we really wanted to talk about. we couldn't talk about anything that -- we couldn't talk about like what was going on. >> so they kind of said here's what you can say or can't say all during this time? you were 15 when you went into their custody, when they -- i say kidnapped you, because i think that's what they did. >> um-hmm. >> and you spent almost a year
5:10 pm
and a half, you're 16 now, just had a 16th birthday. >> um-hmm. >> i guess the hard part for me is you weren't there with your friends, you've had limited contact with your family. you weren't able to go to church, to go to school. um, i guess part of what i think all of us -- were you ever told by the people why you were there? what did they ever tell you? >> they didn't tell me anything. they told me that dcf took custody of me, and that my family can't talk to me, and they're saying that they were over-medicalizing, which they were not. they were bringing me to gi, because i had flu symptoms, and my gi doctor with the boston's children's, because he's at tufts, but then he moved to boston children's, and -- when we went to the emergency room there, and then everything
5:11 pm
went -- >> that must have been very scary for you justina. i can't imagine. >> it was very scary. i had -- no one was on my side there. no one believed me there. everyone thought i was faking all this medical stuff. they stopped all my medicine. they -- they -- >> and when they stopped your medicine, your condition started going downhill. >> yes. instead of getting stronger, which is why people go to the doctor and the hospital, you went from being a figure skater to being in a while chair. >> um-hmm. >> so for 16 months, they have you and instead of getting better, you got much worse. >> yeah, they didn't care. they were -- they were saying that i was improving, which i was not, and they were trying to
5:12 pm
make excuses or twisting words around with my family, when weren't doing anything wrong. i love them so much. i want believe i'm home with them. >> you have a beautiful family. i've gotten to know them, as i've been trying to get you home. one of the things that i found is they love you so muches. i mean, i've never seen a family that wanted so much for someone to come home, as your family did for you. you knew they loved you. >> always. they're my family. but i love them so much, and they love me so much. >> linda, tell me, as a mother i can't begin to imagine what this horror must have been like for you, that the state of massachusetts takes your daughter, never gives you a good reason, ever, and forces you to just stand back and fight for her. tell me the worst of all of these 16 months that you have been through?
5:13 pm
>> the worst thing that i went through was, i was so worried every night all day long not knowing what they were doing to her, because i could not call. i could not get an union date what was going on with her. i found out she had pneumonia twice, and then one doctor finally called me and said, linda, she's really not doing well, and i said, why am i being blocked out? so i really don't know what they have done to her, and i was continuously worried. i had days that i couldn't function, because i don't understand why they did this. there is no explanation. >> there's not a mother in america who isn't crying her eyes out right now for you, linda, because everybody feels that. when we come back, we're going to talk to lou, justina's dad and all of her sisters, and we're going to be right back with this remarkable family, the

5:17 pm
>> we are back with the peliter family that have been through this is justina. one thing i'm going to correct. she was actually 14, when you first went under the custody of the state of massachusetts. you experienced two birthdays while in captivity, as i would say. lou, as a father you fought valiantly for your daughter. we have talked before. you've been. you've been out there, what people don't understand is this disrupted your whole family, your ability to provide for your family. i don't think people understand it's not only the separation
5:18 pm
from justina that you've been through, but the separation from being able to provide, to earn a living. >> governor, thank you again so much for having us. you've been such a champion. we can never thank you enough for what you have done for us. >> absolutely. >> this last 16 months, the whole system, the way it's set up, whether it's in massachusetts or whatever, you're fighting the state that you're in, and they've got obviously deep pockets, the state of massachusetts, but you're also fighting the hospital that's behind them. >> can i point out the reason they have deep pockets is their pockets are your pockets? they can continue to reach in them. that's the sad thing. they have unlimited ability to take money from us. on the other hand, you have limited resource with which to try to fight justina. the other two-headed goliath, which was the boston children's, which is owned by harvard.
5:19 pm
we know harvard is the wealthiest college in the land. you're just a private citizen using your own sources, using private attorneys, between not working, attorneys fighting, going back and forth, in a short period of time it's amazing how many assets you can go through while you're trying to protect your family. that's part of the problem with this system. once they take a child, it's like they go down this rabbit hole that you can never get that child out of. that's why that needs to change. >> i think that's what disturbing. not only did they take her, but they kept her and never really gave an explanation for why justina was being held in their custody. all this time ugh get information. you asked for it, you're told you can't have it, you could see your daughter i think most people are just stunned. they never, ever came up with any reason other than they wanted to sort of test her for
5:20 pm
what they believed was -- this all being in her head. it turned out obviously not to be the case. >> it was all a mad psychiatric experiment. they said we were jeopardizing her safety by not following the boston children's protocol, which for justina was to take her off all her medications, because everything she had, in their mind, was in her head. of course, to come up with a diagnosis of somataform, one of your friends said that's takes a year to diagnosis and one of the nos nebulous diagnoses there is. to do it after she arrived 12 hours after a 25-minute interview, they had their own agenda. that's a sad thing. we know many hospitals have pet projects they like to work on. that happens to be boston children's hospital is this illne illness. that tends to be their special. but the bottom line is they do it, because they can.
5:21 pm
>> justina, when you got home, i'm assuming your sisters were glad to see you. did you have to start sharing a room against with one of your sisters? >> yeah, yeah. >> was she okay with that? >> it's tough, but i'm changing it. >> we're going to have more with the pelletiers, including her sisters. justina pelletier and her wonderful family. respond. humans. even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what else comes standard at libertymutual.com.

parents, and her sisters. any of you guys, the sisters, i'm going to give you an opportunity. what were you feeling when you learned she was finally coming home? >> i think it was a bit of shot at first. justina called me. it was about 4:00 on tuesday. she is goes, jen, i'm coming home tomorrow. i put it on speaker and she said i'm coming home tomorrow. it was great to hear, but at first i wasn't sure if it was real because of how long this has dragged out, but then it was fantastic to drive up there to help her move back home, even more fantastic to have her back home where she belongs. >> jessica, did you cry? did you laugh? >> i was like unbelievable. my mouth probably dropped because i just came back from grocery shopping with my dad, and we were actually in our driveway. my dad got a phone call, actually i think my mom's cell

washington, very liberal, michele bachmann is very conservative. this is the full spectrum. one thing that people agree on, justina, the way you were treated should never happen to someone guess, and justina's law will cut off any federal funding to any health organization or supposed health organization that would carry out experiments on the child without the family's permission like this, and i think it's so wonderful not that you had to go through it, but that because of your parents, their tenacity and strength and your family's strength, hopefully these laws will change and no one will ever have to go through what you've got through. that's what we hope for. >> my gosh, that's awesome. >> it is awesome. justina, you're the only one i ever said anything to, so i have to ask, long term, what do you hope happens? with all of this, for your

5:42 pm
why didn't they keep them immediately? by law they're supposed to archive the information, and i think a lot of us are saying her hard drive during that period and those e-mails went to someone. >> i think that may be. mark, let me turn to you. if this same thing was happening under a republican administration, you think there would be as much attention, because we've had more news about chris christie and some bridge and scott walker and some things that turned out weren't even real issues, and it's made more national news than the irs that touching every single american. so you're asking if something like this went on in the bush administration, it doesn't have to be a hypotheticalal, it's very well documented. even a sort of progressive leans

church in pasadena, so that didn't receive a lot of attention from the mainstream media, so i think what fox did is a very good job in the early day when it appeared there was foul play going on. i think as darrell issa's investigation continues and there fails to be any evidence to support these allegations, that's when other media outlets are turning off to this. >> you think may the reason there's not more evidence is because it's been destroyed? there's some evidence that some funny stuff is going on, usually they're protecting themselves from incrimination. if you've got nothing to hide, don't you want to talk about it? >> they've been transparent and turned over thousands and thousands, and we were talking in the greenroom. darrell issa wants to subpoena e-mails going back to -- >> back to '86, but people were using e-mail. >> john boehner thinks he plight
