Advocate, Survivor Seeks Contribution for New Parental Rights in Children's Medical Care Advocacy Book to Put an End to Injustice

Wappingers Falls, NY (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- Shirley Cheng (http://www.shirleycheng.com), a blind and physically disabled 23-year-old advocate of parental rights in children's medical care in the American medical system, seeks contribution for her new parental rights advocacy book for this point: "When doctors ask yes or no, parents should have the right to say no." --Shirley Cheng

Shirley is looking for articles (unbiased, factual), personal experience stories, case studies, from medical personnel (doctors, psychologists, etc.), lawyers, reporters, journalists, writers, parents, survivors (children), and anyone who has involved in this issue or has written about this issue, about the injustice system that strips the rights from parents and that takes the child away from their parents over medical disputes.

She is especially interested in the cases of Abraham Cherrix (Virginia, 2006), Edward and Michele Wernecke concerning their daughter Katie (Texas, 2005), Corissa Mueller (2002), Pam Anderson concerning her son, Anthony Mitchell (2000), Miguel Regino and Adela Martinez concerning their daughter Anamarie Martinez-Regino (New Mexico, 2000), Sherry and Paul Lipscomb (Ohio, 2000), Valerie Emerson (Maine, 1998), and Tina Phifer concerning her daughter Amkia (1997); and Shirley is also very interested in any articles anyone has written concerning her own mother Juliet Cheng's custody case in 1990 that made international headlines.

Shirley will need permission to reprint any contribution in her new book and will give full credits to the contributors at the back of the book. No monetary rewards will be given, but every contributor will receive a free copy of the book and can buy the books at a discount. Please e-mail Shirley via http://www.shirleycheng.com Please e-mail first before submitting anything.

Shirley Cheng (b. 1983), a blind and physically disabled motivational speaker, author, poet, and parental rights advocate, has the vision of a better America for both parents and children. She is a victim and miracle survivor of not only her painful disease--severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis--but more so of serious faults in American medical system, including two custody cases her mother, Juliet Cheng, had battled and won after disagreeing with doctors' recommended treatments, one of which lasted for five months in 1990 in Connecticut that made international headlines on major media, like The New York Times, Washington Post, and The Associated Press, and gained the support of Katharine Hepburn and Taiwan's former first lady. Juliet and her lawyer, George Athanson--a former mayor of Hartford, Connecticut, for eleven years--appeared on CBS This Morning show with Paula Zahn. Shirley was also the victim of abusive behavior and mistreatment from one-to-one aides for years while attending public schools. Using her new voice as an adult, Shirley now fights to protect today's parents and children and the future of America. She hopes to bring awareness to the public with her new parental rights advocacy book, and her 700-page autobiography, The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine: A Young Woman's Autobiography of a 20-Year Tale of Trials & Tribulations.

Should parents have the right to disagree with doctors' recommended treatments for their children? Should the state send parents to court just because the parent told the hospital that aspirin is worsening their child's condition? Is it okay for the judge to call the parent a child abuser when the parent intercepted unwanted, harmful treatment for their child?

One voice is not enough--we need to work together to put an end to the injustice and put parental rights back into the hands of loving parents.

Let us turn our country into a true nation run by the people for the people.
