After reading this horror story, it's obvious this woman is a victim of the federal and state "mental health" laws.
Christina Schumacher is a grieving mother who believes in prayer. She was denied the right to attend her 14 year old son's funeral and denied the right to be with her daughter or other family members.
She was committed against her will to a psych ward the day after her ex-husband murdered their 14 year old son, then hanged himself.
This is an educated, hard working lady who is now imprisoned in hospital and the investigating newspaper, Burlington Free Press, has now been blocked from contacting her.
""My daughter and I need each other during this grieving process. I love my daughter. I miss her," Schumacher said, referring to Gunnar's older sister. "This is my journey, and in no way is it up to anyone to judge how I mourn."
"An Essex mother whose estranged husband murdered their son and then committed suicide, according to police, says she has been held against her will in the psychiatric ward at Fletcher Allen Heath Care since the day after the bodies were found more than three weeks ago.
Christina Fitzgerald Schumacher, 48, told the Burlington Free Press she tried to block her admission to the secure ward and has told mental-health workers she is fine.
Schumacher said she explained she needed to be at home to make funeral arrangements and also to help her 17-year-old daughter through the trauma, but the pleas fell on deaf ears. She said she also wants to see her father, who is in poor health in central Vermont."
“After what I have been through, now the system is abusing me. I’m a victim again,” said Schumacher, who had started a consulting business in September. She had worked for about 23 years at IDX Systems, later called GE Healthcare."
"
She will also be forced to pay for this involuntary hospital stay.
Personally, I hope she sues the state of Vermont, the hospital and her alleged "psychiatrist".
