I thought the same thing, that there had to be more to the story, but I can’t find anything one way or the other to refute the mother’s story. The Governor was barraged with emails to plead for his intervention, but he hasn’t commented to my knowledge.
You live there - have you heard anything about this? Other young couples are finally coming forward to tell similar stories of how they were sworn to secrecy or they would lose their baby forever. The Saad baby was put into foster care with an older couple who quickly put the baby into daycare. If you demonize the parents as terrorists and drug addicts in your official capacity as a STate worker, and a judge goes along with it despite no evidence, then how do you fight that? Lawyers have been worthless to this point to help this poor baby who needs her own parents.
This is not possible.
