Even though “Cassandra C” has complied and finished her “forced chemo” she must stay in the hospital with no visitations (a judge has ordered) Even her Mom can’t come and visit!

Forced Chemo

On the heels of appeal Cassandra cannot get out of the hospital though forced chemo has come to an end. She only needs to come in a few times a month for maintenance but must stay in a sick hospital full time, and alone. Her lawyer says her hospital is effectively “her jail”.  She’d probably be better off in jail as there are more illnesses in a hospital and at least in jail she could have visitations. Total insanity!

Watch the video here  with her mom and attorney and the controlling dictators running her life too (the government) I presume they cannot get into her “jail” cell to interview Cassandra C.

We are shocked that Monday (April fools day which make it all the more ironic) a judge said Cassandra C. had to stay in the hospital and they think this is healthier than being home with her family.  She cannot see her mom, cannot see family and instead must sit alone day after day (because she needs to come in for maintenance a few times a month)  Her mom couldn’t comment Monday but her lawyer was able to talk to reporters.

From the Breaking article on CNN:

According to Michtom, Department of Children and Families could have withdrawn its position for an order of custody but hasn’t. He said the department sees Cassandra as a flight risk because she has run away before.

So for now, Cassandra is said to spend her days reading, watching TV and drawing.

“The hospital is effectively jail,” Michtom said.

We also wonder if they’re doing this as Cassandra has insurance as this young woman doesn’t have insurance (around same age) and is going to die without a surgery but the state and medicaid are hashing it out as she (also a beautiful young woman) sits there about to die. It’s actually quite absurd. The two cases show 2 different extremes. Check out the other young woman’s video here. 

Back to Cassandra. She is a young woman is almost 18 years old and it’s almost like watching some sadistic futuristic movie when you see the “experts” talk about managing Cassandra’s life. It’s really out of an Orwellian novel.  What if the chemo (which she didn’t want to do in the first place) had failed and she’d died? Would they be held responsible? We’re so thrilled she’s in remission and young and healthy and trying to have a positive outlook (Thank goodness for social media for Cassandra) but really, this is outrageous that they’re forcing these decisions upon her when she and her mother have begged that she can go home where she can now heal properly and actually see her family! (She cannot even see her own mom- it must be so scary for her) Our thoughts are with her and we hope she can go home really soon and that the judge and other dictators come to their senses.
