A family that’s been told that their child’s parents cannot have access to their own medical records is at a crossroads.
A lawsuit filed by the California family of Joshua Soto, who has autism, has sparked a legal battle over how that child should be cared for.
The family has been fighting for more than a year to get access to records regarding Joshua’s medical records, which are under the guardianship of the state.
“We don’t want to have our own records,” Soto’s mother, Nicole, told NBC affiliate KTVU.
“We want to be able to look at the doctor’s notes.
We want to look in his bedroom and say, ‘What are you doing?
But now, with the federal government poised to take over the case, Nicole Soto says the state’s delay is now inevitable.””
The family filed a lawsuit last year, claiming that it was an unreasonable delay for the state to wait for their child to undergo medical testing and treatment, in addition to a lack of access to the medical records that they need to treat Joshua.
But now, with the federal government poised to take over the case, Nicole Soto says the state’s delay is now inevitable.”
Soto’s parents have been working with the Department of Justice, who have said that they are in the process of launching a legal challenge to the state of California.””
I think we need to go back to our home, put our kids to bed, and sleep.”

“I don’t think there’s any question about it that this was an overreach,” Attorney General Xavier Becerra said at a press conference last month.
The Soto family is not alone in their concerns about the state and the federal authorities. “
The Department is very interested in getting a judge’s opinion and finding out whether this delay was a reasonable one.”

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees guardianship and the state, has announced it will review the case.
