Re: Lyme Mom Needs Calls To State

[Guest guest]

I am a Health and PE school teacher in NJ where Lyme Disease is a State

Mandate.....and has to be covered in our curriculum...........I can't

believe this is happening to this family.

I plan on writing a letter.

Do you think emails would help also?

Hi all,

I called McGreevy's office this morning and was put through to his aid and

told her about Sandy Mishky's plight with DYFS. She said that Sandy had to

write and call herself, and that she should have an attorney. I told her that I

was sure that she did that already. She said that she couldn't give any info

out but took Sandy's name from me to look it up herself. She said that if it a

court matter, the Governor's office could not do anything because of the

division of power.

I called Sandy to tell her this and she said that DYFS was at her home now

about to take her kids away. I told her what McGreevy's office said and she

told me that it hasn't been filed in the court yet, so the Governor's office

could still get involved. She asked me to e-mail Pat and let her know

what

is going on, which I did.

My heart goes out to this woman. I also tried to call the DYFS number, but

had no luck getting through to anyone. I wonder how something like this can

happen when there is so much more Lyme awareness these days, as compared to

when my children, my husband and I were sick in the late '80's though the

mid-'90's. I often get so angry as to why Lyme is such a political disease

with so

many damn ?????. Where would our Lyme children be if they didn't have their

parents fighting for them to get treatment.
