Today's article in the American Thinker has some more details of poor Melissa's ordeal. Among them - her diagnosis. Here's why one named "Dr. Siegfried Schanda" believes Melissa must be separated from her family:
"Melissa Busekros was examined by us. She has a childhood emotional disorder, severe school phobia and an oppositional denial-syndrome. Melissa lacks insight into her illness and the need for treatment, and considers herself healthy and her behaviour fully normal. M. needs urgent help in a closed setting if need be, and subsequent special education treatment to ensure schooling."
Later it turned out that the girl had been misquoted and the psychiatric report was found to be inaccurate. But the wording clearly shows the type of reasoning employed by the anti-family activists. Melissa was still horrified after some 15 police officers took her away from her family and brought to a mental ward? That's a "childhood emotional disorder". She doesn't want to back to school (that kicked her out) and repeat the seventh grade? That's "school phobia". She disagrees with those considering themselves experts? That's an "oppositional denial syndrome" which, according to the warders with diplomas, makes things even worse and requires "urgent help in a closed setting". They'll make up excuses and twist the diagnosis just to hide a simple fact: that it was them who caused all those problems in the first place.
