What you are about to read is an example of an American nightmare … multiple children stolen by the government either for federal funding or for a clinical trial.
As pictured above The Diegel Sisters are two medically fragile girls who were placed into the CPS system under the guise of the state of Arizona and Phoenix Children’s Hospital all so that Big Pharma could line their pockets.
The mother of these two precious girls has not been allowed access to any current evidence as there are restrictions and stipulations which have been put over her and the father that are so ridiculous and strict that even a person with no knowledge of the law would question why such stipulations would be put in place.
The state wants a Private Investigative firm to oversee the mother and father every second they are with the medical records, but they are only willing to consent to release the records they feel are relevant. Sound suspicious? In addition, after the trial is over the documents, as written in this suspicious contract, the parents would not agree to sign, would seem to disappear as the state has said they will no longer pay for the PI firm and the parents would no longer have access to them.
They are unable to touch the records, have been denied to even receive any of their own wanted or needed medical records in order to properly prepare for trial, including Phoenix Children’s Hospital records, prescriptions and insurance records and more.
I need to make it clear here, it is the law and the right of the parents for them to be able to receive these records, so for them to be denied this right is ludicrous.
This also makes it very hard to properly prepare a defense against the erroneous claims and false accusations from Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the (GI doctor,) who coincidentally claimed medical abuse against the parents just 1 1/2 week after the GI Dr. was fired. Stating the parents initiated and wanted all of their children’s medical procedures and made the doctors do it.
Did the parents MAKE the doctors bill the parents over a million dollars? Did the parents MAKE the hospital bill for Muscular Dystrophy? WHY on earth would they do that?
The following photograph shows a “Billing record and the CPT code” mom received from the girls primary insurance company Cigna, on March 17th 2015 after several phone calls and mail correspondences begging them to release the girls records.
Judge Orders the Release of Medical Records But The State Will Not Comply
On July 8th 2014 Judge L.F ordered that the state was required to release all the medical documents within 10 days to all the parties involved but the state did not comply. In fact, the judge was immediately kicked of the bench by the GAL.
It was not until April 3rd of 2015 that the state brought in the Private investigative firm and decided to release minimal records. They tried to threaten and intimidate the parents into signing a contract. Neither parent would sign or agree to these terms. Mother fired her attorney, but the judge would not let her withdraw until the contract was signed. Both Mother and fathers lawyer were coerced into signing the contract against their clients will.
Under the code of federal regulation 46.116 wards of the state can be entered into clinical trials and the Diegel Sisters happened to have a very unique and rare genetic medical condition. It just takes one representative to sign off to be entered into the clinical trial, could the Guardian ad Litum be their legal representative?
Both girls were 100% feeding tube dependent and relied on their liquid nutrition to receive the right nutrients to survive. As seen her the GI doctor experimented with Kayla’s Body by forcefully removing her nutrition:
Before On the feeding tube
In the States Care Deprived of her Nutrition
The following is an excerpt from the foster care review board stating “the board is concerned about the health and well being of Kayla and Hannah.”
The state created numerous lies and threats to keep the girls in the system:
The state became so irate at the mother that they threatened the mother with incarceration, filed for severance and took away all visits. The mother broke the GAG Order …
Arizona Mother of Two Girls Medically Kidnapped Breaks Gag Order and Speaks Out
A Miracle For two Sisters
The mother continued to try and fight the battle in court and filed 40 motions. Despite filing contempt charges against the state for not releasing the records, which was denied by the state and JUDGE, The parents felt helpless as most due after being charged $55,000 in private attorneys fees. The state refused to release ANY new records until April 3rd 2015 but only under the guise of a private investigative firm with a P.I. looking over the mom and dads shoulder. They also refused to release the records that the parents were asking for as seen below.
Here are a few of the things the mother asked for:
REQUEST NO. 1: All Medical documents in the departments possession, including but not limited to all real actual imaging x-rays, reports, notes, imaging, charts, receipts, micro fishier, discs, audio, video, imaging, films, call logs, nursing notes, interviews, and any and all information pertaining to the Diegel sisters and this case.

They refused to take her statement. Melissa found upon returning inside her home that her computer had been downloaded. Ironically, this swat team showed up less than 8 hours after Melissa moved her son out of state for his safety so that DCS would not take him. This happened after she had been threatened to shut down her Justice for the Sisters page or else … She was also told by email they were watching her facebook pages.
Before we go any further, Melissa did comply and eliminated her Justice for the Sisters page with over 3000 followers but the threats did not stop. She had too many supporters and the story had spread. A new page was opened up called …
www.amiraclefortwosisters.org
… on her behalf and the supporters grew, that page now stands at nearly 10,000 followers.

Kayla in the states care. She experienced severe weight loss, developed documented malnutrition and a vitamin deficiency.
Kayla on feeding tube nutrition in the moms care.
Melissa’s children were taken because of their rare genetic condition and that is why you see in this case how far they are willing to go to withhold the records from this mother and father. It is Appalling! The court has refused to give Melissa any and ALL of the documents she has asked for. Melissa Diegel’s Trial continues on July 7th 8th 9th and 10th and is scheduled to run through November of 2015 making her trial set to run for a minimum of 10 days and run over a period of 19 months. Court Watchers are needed Durango Court House Phoenix Arizona!
The court system all around the country is doing a fantastic job of NOT allowing parents Proper Due Process.
Here are 3 more cases in Arizona that involve DCS whose children were wrongfully removed:
Joey “Kangaroo” Meltzer Stolen from Lisa Meltzer after she asked the state if they had services to help her. Her rights have been severed she lost in Appeals court.
#JoeyKangarooMeltzer @joeykangaroom
The Johnson Family has been fighting for 6 years. They lost 4 children to DCS. 2 at birth. They have lost in appeals court 3 times. Sara was unjustly put on the “central registry’ within 2 weeks of having her first disabled child taken by DCS. She has no criminal history. She was 19 at the time. The state refused to give her a hearing to get off the central registry. She has filed 80 motions. Judge Joan Sinclair in the following video said “It’s not a matter of evidence Ma’am.”
#Johnson
And for other cases in the United States….many times those children are kept because those kids are worth money. Title IV funding comes into play……
#ProtectingMyLittleMan
This child was taken from birth by Arizona DCS, this could have been your child. This child was returned 15 months later after the state maximized off of the federal funding and decided not to keep him. The father was a former police officer. Every American citizen with a child, is now in danger of having their child removed. The charge was neglect. Does he look Neglected?
In Arizona they take 35 children a day. 1:100 children are now in foster care. That does not count the adopted and the previously stolen…..
America it is time to to stand up and make your voices be heard. 1000 or 10,000 parents showing up at the court house demanding our kids back would be a sight to see. Parents are paying millions in attorneys fees and loosing. We are loosing the war on getting our kids back. Stand up America and go to the court house. Start show up in 1000’s, there is power in numbers.
I will be there on July 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. 17,600 children have been taken from their parents in Arizona alone! I challenge all the parents! Where are you? If we showed up at the court house and demanded our kids back from the broken system they are going to have to start to listen! If you want change it requires action.
You are worth your weight in gold because YOU valued yourself that way.
Do not let others put limitations on YOU that devalue you because you matter.
One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is self worth and courage, the third is action.
