The bottom line here is that the Boston Children's Hospital has over stepped its boundaries in keeping Justina locked up at their facility. The message being sent is that they (the hospital) knows what is in the best interest of the child. This despite misdiagnosing the reason for the child's illness. How dare the parents challenge the hospital. Now a Guardian ad litem has been thrown into the mix who is supposed to investigate the situation to determine the "child's best interest". The Guardian ad litem from all appearance has recommended waiting to see and has given the parents guidelines that they must meet and or adhere to before their child can come home.

A fifteen-year-old West Hartford girl, Justina Pelletier, will remain in Massachusetts State custody, for now.
Sources indicate that based largely on the recommendation of a court-appointed guardian-ad-Litem assigned on December 20, Judge Joseph Johnston, ruled that Pelletier will not return home to Connecticut right now, but could be returned soon.
Sources say the next court hearing will be February.
A Judge-issued gag order placed on Nov. 7 remains in place.
Permanent custody has not been determined yet but sources indicate that if Pelletier’s parents follow strict court-ordered guidelines, Justina could be returned home to West Hartford within weeks.
Today marks 11 months since Justina Pelletier was admitted to Boston Children’s Hospital in February 2013.
