Anonymous Hacker Explains His Attack On Boston Children's Hospital (huffingtonpost.com)

Okian Warrior writes: Martin Gottesfeld of Anonymous was arrested in connection with the Spring 2014 attacks on a number of healthcare and treatment facilities in the Boston area. The attacks were in response/defense of a patient there named Justina Pelletier. Gottesfeld now explains why he did what he did, in a statement provided to The Huffington Post.

In the criminal complaint, she's called 'Patient A,' but to me, she has a name, Justina Pelletier. Boston Children's Hospital disagreed with her diagnosis. They said her symptoms were psychological. They made misleading statement on an affidavit, went to court, and had Justina's parents stripped of custody. They stopped her painkillers, leaving her in agony. They stopped her heart medication, leaving her tachycardic. They said she was a danger to herself, and locked her in a psych ward. They said her family was part of the problem, so they limited, monitored, and censored her contact with them..."

So which is it? Does she have mitochondrial_disease or does she have somatic symptom disorder?

And how did she end up at Boston Children's Hospital instead of at Tufts where they originally diagnosed mitochondrial disease?

And did the medical team at Tufts consult with the team at BCH at any point? Or did they just wash their hands of the situation?

So leaving their child medically abused was better than breaking a bad court order? Sometimes you have to break the rules to do the right thing. The parents should have done that before the hacker did his thing.
