The family of Justina Pelletier has announced plans to sue Boston Children’s Hospital for civil rights violations and medical malpractice. "The cry is never again. This lawsuit is way to hold Boston Children’s and the defendants accountable," said family spokesperson Rev. Patrick Mahoney in a news conference. Justina suffers from Mitochondrial Disease and went to see a doctor at Boston Children’s who had previously treated her at Tufts. Family lawyers said she never the doctor, and instead a different set of doctors, who thought the symptoms were due to psychological stress from abusive parents.
