“Please let me go home right now.”Those are some of the first words that the public has ever heard from Justina Pelletier since she was taken out of her parents custody and into the care of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families 16 months ago.
“This is the first time they can actually hear her in her own voice,” Rev. Patrick Mahoney told TheBlaze Monday of the video posted to the “A Miracle for Justina” Facebook page, showing the 16-year-old in a wheelchair.
“All I really want to be with is with my family and my friends,” Justina said in the video posted Sunday night.
“You can do it. You’re the one that’s judging this. Please let me go home Judge Johnson and Gov. Patrick,” Justina continued directing her comments to Suffolk County juvenile court Judge Joseph Johnston and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. “Please, right now. Please let me go home right now. I need to be home with my family and just please do it.”
