Joseph (JR) Hoell, a Christian homeschooling father of four and “conservative firebrand” who served four terms as a New Hampshire state legislator from 2010 through 2018, has spent the past several weeks fighting a harrowing legal battle after state officials threatened to take away his children when it became known he treated their COVID-19 symptoms with the safe antiparasitic drug ivermectin.
Do the people at NH DCYF really believe that administering Ivermectin justifies taking children away from their parents??? There are currently at least 2 known cases of this happening in New Hampshire.NH DCYF Fights To Remove Children After Parents Treated Them With Ivermectin (link tracking not allowed)/3sttkDY#nhpolitics
Hoell told LifeSite that in early December, long after the family had recovered from COVID and stopped taking ivermectin, the family’s 13-year-old son became “disoriented” and “loopy” after taking an over-the-counter acetaminophen “at a level that would be a concern.”
“So I did what any reasonable and loving parent would do,” Hoell said. Fearing the boy had taken too much of the medicine, Hoell called the poison control hotline and was advised to take the teenager to the emergency room, which the family did on December 4.
“The hospital found no evidence [of] Acetaminophen in his son’s bloodstream and sent the family home,”
As a precaution ER staff advised Hoell to follow up with a primary care physician.
Hoell agreed and took his son to see a nurse practitioner at a family practice associated with the Catholic Medical Center (CMC) in Goffstown, New Hampshire.
During the appointment, Hoell mentioned to the nurse practitioner that the boy had recently recovered from COVID-19 after taking ivermectin.
According to Manuse, that’s when the state got involved in an extraordinary way.
Manuse said medical staff “immediately blamed the ivermectin for the son’s [Acetaminophen] story and called the Division of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF),” then “coordinated with police to have all of JR’s minor children removed from his home.”
“Fortunately, the parents quickly figured out what was going on; they were able to move the children to a safe location before DCYF could get to them,”
“On Thursday, Dec. 16, JR appeared for a preliminary hearing in a Concord Courtroom and came to an agreement to have his son seen by a doctor so that he can get back to his regular life,” Manuse said, adding that as long as the physician clears the Hoells’ son of risk of coma or death, the family has been “assured custody of the children.”
The best news is my children are healthy and doing amazing in spite of the actions of the state. For now they are in our care. t.co...
