Chase and Child Protective Services
On October 4, 2006 Chase was removed from his home with no prior notice by a police escort.
Chase's police-escorted ride to the hospital in an amblance was in response to a complaint made to Child Protective Services (CPS) by Dr. Jeanne G. Lewandowski of Henry Ford Kaleidoscope Kids Hospice Services.

The antineoplaston therapy mentioned in the complaint filed by Henry Ford Hospice Services currently has 14 FDA-approved clinical trials in progress.
John and Carol Sammut are asking for your support in requesting an investigation into this incident, to prevent similar unjustified action from being taken in the future against other families in crisis.
John's states in his blog entry dated November 21,
The complaint that was filed by Dr. Jeanne Lewandowski from Hospice of Henry Ford’s Kaleidoscope program was so full of misrepresentations and distortions (to put it mildly) that it appears to be intentionally fraudulent. Once again, we are willing to give Protective Services and Henry Ford Hospital the benefit of the doubt, assuming they provide a reasonable response and correct the injustice that occurred in their system. Anything short of that and we’ll be forced to pursue recourse, just to ensure that this outrageous misuse of the system doesn’t continue.
Your indication of support and request for an investigation to both organizations will help to expose the issue(s) and hopefully elicit cooperation.
Contact information for the parties involved:
