'I love you more than anything in the world': Girl, 15, forced to send notes to her parents hidden in origami after they lose custody of her to a HOSPITAL

• Justina Pelletier was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease as a child
• The 15-year-old was admitted to Boston Children's Hospital after coming down with the flu
• She has been kept there against her will for nine months
• Doctors have claimed the teen is in fact suffering a mental illness that manifests itself in physical symptoms
• Her parents are embroiled in a custody battle with the hospital who did not wish to comment
• Neither the Department of Children and Families or hospital were able to comment after a court judge prohibited public statements being made
