Did you know that Michigan is the only state in America that has a pharmaceutical “immunity law” in place? What this means is the average citizen cannot file a lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company in the event that one of their FDA-approved medications leads to the injury or death of a loved one. Essentially, the law allows Big Pharma to poison and murder its customers without forcing them to assume any of the responsibility.

This particular law is being called into question in a case involving a Detroit mother, Maryanne Godboldo, and her 13-year-old daughter, Ariana. As it stands, the state is attempting to prosecute Godboldo because she is refusing to put her daughter on a powerful antipsychotic medication. This after Child Protective Services had her daughter forcibly placed in a state-run mental health facility, where she was forced to take Haldol and Risperdal -- medications that have caused her permanent damage.

“What happened in this case is not an isolated incident,” said Allison Folmar, the Godboldo’s attorney. “The state has joined with the psychiatrists and they illegally take parents’ rights away. This is the fight. This cannot happen. It is illegal.”

“It was illegal to detain Ariana against her and her mother’s will,” Folmar continued. “it was illegal to administer a dangerous drug, regardless of whether or not they had her medical records, which in this case they did not have them.”

Interestingly, the court has ruled in Godboldo’s favor four times, but the state simply refuses to accept the decision. This poses concerns that Michigan is more interested in protecting the interests of the pharmaceutical companies rather than health and well-being of its people.

Yet, the state still continues to pursue charges against Godboldo for her refusal to administer this destructive medicine to her daughter. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights has stepped in to fight on her behalf.
