Black Child Paralyzed by DC Government: The Value of Black Life, Ariana – Leilani

After six years of paralysis by the DC Government (including the Mayor’s office, Health Department, Child and Family Services, DC Police Department and DC Public School), we have been bringing each of members of the DC City Council up to date on the life threatening issues of 11 year old Ariana-Leilani. She has been suffering for six years from untreated Severe Chronic Neutropenia (SCN) – a rare potentially fatal low immunity condition (like AIDS) that can lead to her death in as little as 18 hours from a common infection. No qualified physician has disputed Prof Dr. Karl Welte’s expert opinion regarding her medical condition and its seriousness.

10540957_10152941361227340_5661104716357861014_nIt is also the consensus of the world SCN experts who have reviewed her medical records, that she is in urgent need of “neupogen” to help her immune system fight off common infections. Prof. Dr. Welte and Prof. Dr. Dale are the Co-Directors of the Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry (SCNIR), and are the world’s foremost experts on the subject. Prof. Dr. Welte and Prof. Dr. Dale have both taken a professional and personal interest in Ariana-Leilani’s case, reviewed her records since birth, and have written medical opinion letters without compensation.

They have both expressed grave concern about the failure to protect Ariana-Leilani. [The most recent opinion letters of Dr. Karl Welte and Dr. Dale are attached]1Prof. Dr. Welte formed with Prof. Dr. Dale (University of Washington) the SCNIR to help local physicians throughout the world by raising their awareness of the condition, how to treat it, and to review the rare SCN cases in one central place. Ariana-Leilani King-Pfeiffer is one of less than 1000 in the world on the SCNIR registry. SCN is a rare condition that very few physicians are truly familiar. Prof. Dr. Welte developed the revolutionary life-saving Amgen medicine GCSF (“neupogen” which boosts immunity) that is used to help save SCN victims from its often dire consequence.

As stated by Prof. Dr. Dale in his attached letter, untreated SCN leads to “toxic shock”, “loss of limb” and/or “loss of life.” In five years, Ariana-Leilani has never undergone a drug test, toxicology or even a basic urinalysis to determine the cause of her SCN. Don’t you at least think it odd that such non-invasive and routine test to determine the SCN’s cause has not been done in 6 years?

Most normal doctors investigating the cause of a medical condition conduct at least one urinalysis. It is Prof. Dr. Welte’s assessment from the bone marrow aspiration results, and the few other tests that have been done (e.g., blood tests), and her history, that Ariana-Leilani’s neutropenia is caused by neutrophil “peripheral destruction,” and that her SCN is likely induced by toxins/drugs and/or an HIV infection (she was not born with HIV)). A simple non-invasive blood and drug test (toxicology and HIV test), including a urinalysis, would reveal the cause of the SCN – but none has been done in 6 years!

Reinforcing the likelihood that it is drugs that are causing Ariana-Leilani’s condition are:

1) recent DCPS school photos that show that she has extremely dilated eyes (indicating drug induction) [see attached eye comparison]2, and 2) DCPS’s own IEP reports that show behavior that point to the same. The DCPS’s own IEP reports – which are written by DCPS personnel –show that Ariana-Leilani stares into space, she only speaks about the past outside of school, she has accidents while in school, and she went from a high performance learner six years ago to a child with a “learning disability” who struggles to keep up to her peers. The 2011 DCPS IEP for Ariana-Leilani disclosed that:

The student demonstrates behaviors that are atypical for her age (wetting herself, significantly overreacting to events). Several behaviors are distracting and prevent her from focusing and learning (singing to self, talking about unrelated topics during a lesson, gazing at the ceiling). The student talks readily about things that happened years ago, but is secretive about much that goes on in her life currently. She also struggles to handle her emotions and interact with peers.

A ten-year-old child being seriously ill, without relief for five years and showing aberrant behavior “atypical for her age” strongly suggests abuse and neglect, particularly involving drugs (such as those used to facilitate and cover up abuse, like Benzodiazepine 3 which also has a side effect of Severe Chronic Neutropenia). That situation is not a “custody matter” — no matter who is perpetrating it.

The DC Code charges the DCPS, Department of Health, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the DC Child and Family Services (CFSA) with the joint responsibility to assure the life, safety and well-being of children who attend DCPS public schools. Thus, DC cannot shirk its responsibility for Ariana-Leilani’s safety and welfare by claiming it to be a “custody matter.” The child’s life, health and well-being is the issue. There is no “custody” exemption to DC’s obligations to protect each and every DCPS student.

Furthermore, the District of Columbia is charged internationally as the “competent authority,” for addressing foreign government inquiries for their citizens in the USA. Ariana Leilani King-Pfeiffer is a dual German and US citizen with only a German Passport, and is currently sleeping in a queen sized bed in a 500 square foot one bedroom apartment with her
father, who is a German citizen.

As we pointed out to the Councilmembers, the German Government made a formal request to the US State Department in 2010. The German Government asked for assistance in getting Ariana-Leilani life saving medicine and an independent medical and psychological evaluation. That request was forwarded to the District of Columbia. [See, attached 2010 Letter from the German Embassy and the cover letter from the US State Department transmitting it to the District of Columbia.] The District of Columbia has thus far failed to provide any of the assistance that the German government requested.

The evidence inclosed will show that Ariana-Leilani is living in a one bedroom apartment with her father sleeping in a king size bed with her father with the outright approval of child protective services. The reason I say with their approval once she told them they had a duty to do something about it, and they have done nothing. In the attachment labeled 2013 you will find the photo of the eye’s as mentioned above, also the second sheet is showing her ANC Count from 2005 to 3/26/13 you will find the times her ANC count is in the normal range is when she visits the dentist.

They refuse to work on her with that low ANC because with the slightest mistake she could die. Page 3-6 is the letter from Dr Karl Welte, pages 7-9 letters from Dr David Dale and Audrey Bolyard. Page 10 another ANC chart pages 11-12 letter from the German Embassy to the State Department page 13 letter from the State Department to Child Protective Services pages 14-67 are the IEP report mention above page 68 to end is the Child Protective Services Report please read it, Notice page 16 where Ariana-Leilani tells the social worker her father is getting in her bed at night and she is scared to be there with him at night, Notice how the worker has caught the father in multiple lies during the investigation. Sad to say this Judge who this evidence was presented before stripped Dr King of her rights to her child and let the father have her.
