Started by Melissa Diegel 12 years, 2 months ago
Kayla age (12) and Hannah age (10) while impatient at Phoenix Children's Hospital were unjustly taken by CPS/ DCF in April of 2014. No probable cause was given and Hannah was imediately removed off of her life sustaining feeding tube that day and taken to an undisclosed location not to be seen until 23 days later. It is thought that the newly fired GI doctor who was not providing the proper care which caused severe pain and readmission to the Hospital in Hannahs case acted out of retaliation and fear and called CPS on the mother.

Irronically both girls ended up impatient at the same time for bowel impactions and both were taken by CPS. This same said GI doctor is still in charge and making life altering decisions on behalf of the girls.


Please sign this petition so that we may get an out of state opinion from a professional Doctor who is familiar with gastroparesis, dismotility of the colon and mitochondrial disease because of the severity of their cases a wrong decision could cost them their lives. (Transportation paid for by the state and primary insurance to pay for medical coverage inpatient only. In network doctor only.)


This is a two part petition on the fact that we also want CPS/DCF to send Kayla and Hannah Diegel home imediately. But if they refuse to do so then the least they should do while the girls are in their care is to make sure they receive proper treatment. This includes but is not limited to, not removing their feeding tubes until a professional appropriate third party doctor, agreed upon by the mother and father has reviewed their case history and spoken to the girls privately. A record of all medical documentation and doctors notes should be sent to the parents within 10 days if they are not allowed to be present and attend this visit.

Return these children to the loving mother they had. They depleted in the care of the state. Look at them before and after. DCF is not protecting these children they are killing them.

Send these girls homes, their parents did absolutely nothing wrong. Send them home immediately, they were loved and well cared for and had everything they needed and then some. They were taken because one arrogant doctor thought he knew what was what and he did not. He should not even have a license to practice medicine.

Parents have the right to be informed...not even AFTER the fact but DURING ANY consult. Since when does a doctor get that much control and power? These girls need their mother. This is seriously screwed up.

Free the Deigel sisters! They have a loving Mother who was and is capable of taking care of them. Keeping these children away from their family is cruel and abusive. Every parent has the right to parent their children without interference from the state!

Return these children to their mother. These are human beings; they are not some science experiment for you to play with. The state of Arizona should be charged with kidnapping. These girls need their family for whatever time they have on this earth. Keeping them away from everything they love is cruel and inhumane!!

The implications of this situation are horrible. Living in a police state with doctors who exercise god-like decisions without the consent of the parents is horrific. May justice prevail for this family.

Return these girls to their mom. They are able to be restored and it is in their best interest.
