Editor’s note: Earlier this year, we reported on a Black Mountain family's experience after an unidentified source accused Lisa and Rodney Baldwin of medically neglecting Ryan, their only child.
Although he’d been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and declared medically disabled by the Social Services Administration, the Buncombe County Department of Social Services took custody of Ryan, who spent 10 months in three separate foster placements. The family was reunited last November.
The one-page letter dated Sept. 1, 2010, contained the following statement:
"I wanted to inform you that your son Ryan's tests indicated that he has positive [sic] evidence of XMRV in his blood sample drawn by PSI several months ago.
Doctor Speedy and ME in search of medical honesty
That poor child went through hell at the hands of social services. I hope the parents sue.
ReplyDeleteCan't the parents make the agency reveal any medical tests and test results they did while they had Bryan? What has happened to this family is so awful, and these state agency people just seem to keep making it worse. Is there nothing that can be done?
