subjectRe: FURTHER INCREASE OF THE PSYCHIATRIC TORTURE OF REBECCA MERHAV




Dr. Stafrace sounds like a MONSTER who needs a dose of his own torture and cruelty. He is a sick man and probably sicker than whatever disease he is proclaiming to cure.

This torture must be put to an end and I hope that God is watching over Rebecca always because I know he is watching every move from Stafrace and He, our almighty God WILL have His day with Stafrace as well.

Every time I read Rebecca's story, I am compelled to share what I witnessed in a local hospital for nearly 4 days. It can't hold a candle to Rebecca's or many others stories, but it was a victory for me when I walked out unscathed from psyichiatric drugs and further imprisonment.

God bless you for all you are doing to save Rebecca!

You have my full support!

Human Rights Will Be Reclaimed Around The World - WARNING - Let Rebecca Go Home Now !

It is because of so-called "helpers" like those of you who are holding Rebecca captive and increasing the dose of extremely deadly drugs, that all people on this planet must be concerned about the fact that we no longer have the guarantee of human rights. Do not think for a second that we are going to stop fighting back.

If Rebecca is more than an animal to you, more than someone you can enslave, more than a piece of meat worth a lot of money, you must let her go. To hold her captive, either she must have committed a crime worthy of more than 30 years of punishment, or you must be slave owners.

Furthermore, you have no physical evidence that Rebecca has any real disease. I would like to see what you consider proof of her condition which you claim is a mental illness or chemical imbalance.

Do you have any case studies demonstrating proof of a chemical imbalance that these drugs you are giving her would supposedly "fix", or any large independent peer reviewed trials on the drugs you are giving her, which prove that these drugs are effective or safe?

If so, please send them my way so that we can post them on my website as proof that what you are doing is in the interest of your patient. (I only ask this question because I already know the answer.)

I have been fighting against a bill in the US for the last month called The MOTHERS Act - this fight started after I created two youtube videos about Rebecca and how little chance she had of surviving another month under your treatment. And quite honestly, it has shocked me to the extreme that Rebecca has survived another month of your so-called treatment.

When will you be finished with her?

Two days ago I was on the Gary Null show on national radio here in the US. Later that night I was on an internet radio show heard around the world. I discussed Rebecca's case as an illustration of why we must fight against The MOTHERS Act, to show people that mental health professionals have no problem with cruel forced treatments. I lived this myself when they separated me from my newborn baby for two days. To be able to so harshly put the attachment process in jeopardy and have no concern over the fact that my use of prescription drugs was putting this precious baby's life at risk is typical of psychiatrists.

Your treatment of Rebecca goes far beyond what I experienced and you have indeed prevented her from having a normal life or ever being called "Mommy."

I am going on more radio shows in the next few weeks. I have also sent Rebecca's information to several reporters here in the US. I will use my opportunities in the future not only to mention what is happening to Rebecca, but her name, the name of the clinic where she is being held, and the names of every doctor who refuses to give her a chance and refuses to stop or reduce the poisonous drugs, but rather wishes to increase the dose in an attempt to punish Ben and Rebecca, and this is risking killing her.

Attempted murder is a crime. Think about it. You do not want to be investigated or held criminally liable or even have your medical license revoked. In case you have forgotten, the process of labeling and drugging a child for defiance is well-known to be a total sham. Nobody with a brain would be surprised to find out that you have been experimenting on her for decades because of one symptom we commonly see here in the US and that is disruptive or defiant behavior from children. You would be hard pressed to find a child who is never disruptive - but defiance is not a disease. In fact, if Rebecca were not defiant she would not have survived this long, she would have given up.

I suppose I am mentally ill since I stopped taking my pills against doctors' orders- you can label me with noncompliance with treatment disorder, and a history of having substance-induced psychotic disorder.

Here is a comment from someone writing on my petition against The MOTHERS Act. It is about Human Rights:

# 4,486:
Mar 15, 2008,
Michael Clancy , Minnesota

Dear Senator,

No one has the right to decide if a mother, or child, or any person for that matter, should be prescribed powerful mind altering drugs. Those who do are demonstrating the most severe and gross violation of Mans Basic Human Rights. See: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ratified by the UN in 1948. Human Rights #1,2,3,4,and 5.

Human Right #1.

We Are All Born Free and Equal - Mandatory drugging is saying you are not free, you are not equal, you are inferior and defective.

Human Right #2.

Don't Discriminate - The Mothers Act is blatant, naked discrimination against mothers and mankind with no verifiable scientific proof of any kind.

Human Right #3.

The Right To Life - Life destroying and mind damaging psychiatric drugs wipe out any chance and right, that mothers have to live their Life with their families, safely and sanely.

Human Right #4.

No Slavery - Highly addictive drugs such as those that are being prescribed by psychiatists and their cohorts, ensure their victims will be enslaved by addiction more violent than any street drug in existence.

Human Right #5.

No Torture - Ask any person who has been lucky enough to escape the whips and excruciating pain of drug addiction and you will unquestionably find that they were indeed tortured as savagely as any barbaric medieval method in the history books - mentally and physically.

Eleanor Roosevelt, the principal architect of the Declaration of Human Rights, described the importance of these rights with these words: " Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen in any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works... Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."

Please, for the safety, sanity and prosperity of the very fabric of our society - the family - do not allow this inhumane Act to be passed into law. It will otherwise condemn our civilization to a future of lifeless and life-taking zombies and ensure the erasure of the very values our country stands for: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

What rights does Rebecca have? I think you have denied her almost every single right we are meant to have when we are born.

I would be willing to bet that as a teenager you at one point became defiant. Therefore, you could be right alongside Rebecca under the forced treatment of some other uncaring doctor.

It is in the best interest of Rebecca as well as the best interest of your careers and freedom that you let her go now before you become a spectacle for journalists and the media and gather the attention of the international community and human rights courts / criminal courts.

Although I cannot travel to Australia I am certain that Australia has just as many internet radio shows as we do here.

Just the other day I saw an article about Australia reconsidering using antidepressants at all. When are you as medical doctors going to wake up and realize you are practicing during a period of enlightenment and your remaining time to torture and punish patients is limited?

Perhaps you should search your souls and try to become good people who help others rather than the monsters that you are now.

Psychiatric atrocities perpetrated against Miss Rebecca Merhav

Dr. Stafrace,

This is my message to protest the denial of basic human rights ,and the psychiatric atrocities perpetrated against Miss Rebecca Merhav, who is wrongly incarcerated at the psychiatric ward of The Alfred Hospital of which you are the director.

Rebecca's father has reported to me that you have changed your mind, reversing your commitment to gradually withdraw the Seroquel drug which Rebecca has been forced to consume while she stayed at her home. You also wrongly support her present irrational incarceration in the ward of which you are the director at the Alfred Hospital, allowing further increase of the Seroquel dose, from 400 mg per day to 600mg per day.

These psychiatric atrocities are causing unnecessary suffering to Rebecca and endangering her life. Also her basic human rights are being violated under you orders and /or with your full knowledge and agreement. They must be stopped now to save Rebecca's life !

I therefore ask you to immediately order the release of Rebecca, begin immediately reducing the Seroquel dose she is forced to consume, and order the immediate cancellation of the CTO by Dr. Sally Wilkins, the treating psychiatrist, so as to allow Rebecca to return to normal life with her full human rights protected.

Sincerely,

Dorothee Krien

To Dr. Sally Wilkins of Junction Clinic,

Miss Rebecca Merhav's father has reported to me the latest psychiatric atrocity you are perpetrating against her under the false cover of "treatment".

It must be obvious to you that in doing so you not only continue her torture by the adverse effects of the two neuroleptics-the Risperdal and the Seroquel-and depriving her of a chance to return to normal life following the tapering off the poisons, you are actually forcing on her the risk of sudden death!

Despite the numerous urging-pleas by her father on her behalf, you continue to insist on maintaining the CTO, namely forcing her to take more of the psychiatric poisons, rather than allow her to detoxify her body and help her return to normal life.

Over 30 years of psychiatric torture and failure, including 12 months of "treatment" by yourself, only made things worse for Rebecca, and surely, having survived it all, Rebecca deserves NOW better than that, even from a psychiatric point of view. She is not and never was a danger to herself or to anybody else, so WHY force on her torture and death risks?

This truly seems to be an absolute violation of basic human rights, to hold Rebecca against her will and then forcefully perform drug experimentation on her which could cost her very life! I pray you have a concience and stop this inhumane insanity before it is too late, as you will be responsible for her human rights violations and the outcome.

I protest your cynical and cruel "treatment" of Rebecca, and I demand that you immediately cancel the CTO, allow her to gradually taper off the psychiatric poisons, and help her return to normal life in consultation with herself and with her father.

Give Rebecca her life back!

I am looking forward to your early reply.

Most Sincerely and prayerfully for Rebecca,

Rosie Yates
