What’s Happening In America? 🚨 Texas Woman Has Her 2 Year Old Child Taken Away For Being Hesitant About The Medication Doctors Were Recommending
“CPS took him without a court order and without police officers seeing an immediate need for his removal”
“The boy's mother says that she never imagined that taking him to the hospital for a rash would end with him being taken away from her the very next day, and her court hearing is still a week away. I've never been away from my son for more than a few hours prior to this incident and has now been 60 days.”
“She took her 2 year old son, Josiah, to Children's Medical Center Dallas because her son had a rash that she believed was a reaction to a new laundry detergent.
And I realized that his foot was swelling, so, um, I took him to the hospital based on a referral from his pediatrician.
She says the doctor recommended a medicine she was not comfortable with.
I just was not okay with giving him clindamycin since that antibiotic is reserved for more severe infections.
Sanders decided to leave the hospital against medical advice to take Josiah to her pediatrician, which she did. Even so, the next afternoon, CPS officers came to her apartment accompanied by Corinth police. Chief Jerry Gardner told me by phone what his officers observed.”

Your children belong to the State. It is the New Order of things.
I would have given the kid otc Benadryl, but taking the kid to his doctor trumps that.
All parents of minor children need to treat a visit from CPS just as they would a visit from the police asking entry without a search warrant. Demand proof of right of entry. Say nothing. Demand the presence of an attorney. Always view the visit as a hostile one. Never consent to place yourself under CPS jurisdiction without court proceedings.
Know Your Rights. They will be spelled out in statute but the CPS will rely on you not knowing them. Be aware of agents who mistake guidelines “You should” for laws “You shall.” Get everything in writing.
This could also be about the CPS worker not believing she could care for her child because of her (the mom) being in a wheelchair. The mom may have a very good cause for legal action under ADA and any state anti-discrimination laws.
Generally good advice, but CPS doesn't have any "right" to entry; what they have is the power. I witnessed this as a young child (not so long ago) when my parents decided to (continue to) homeschool me when I reached the mandatory attendance age. We were new to the area and they came down on us like wolves. Fortunately my folks were what you'd call connected and managed to scare them off, but I will never forget what was said by the CPS person. Basically you either open the door and let CPS in or the cops will come and force you within five minutes, and after that it won't go well for you. Resistance...jail. Not long after, a family friend who was a judge (with 5 kids of his own) said even he was afraid of them, they hold ALL the cards.
These days you should think twice before taking your child to the doctor*, never mind the public school.
*Homeschool required a medical exam, where I got thisclose to getting a Gardasil shot without parental permission -- doctor insisted on examination without parent presence.
Don't trust anyone anymore.
Never ever let anyone who works for any level of government into your home without a warrant.
Ever.

CPS and other such agencies want you to believe they have a fiat to exercise their authority. They do not. They are subject to limitations spelled out in statute. Since such can be tricky to navigate an attorney (family law) should be called if they show up at your door claiming an emergency to remove a child or to even enter to “make sure” the child is o.k.
An imminent threat to a child’s life, health, and/or safety is considered reason for immediate removal. But even that requires legal action by behalf and due process rights for the parents.
In this case a doctor outright lied because he or she did not agree with the mom exercising her right to refuse a specific (but not the only available) medical treatment for her child. The claim the child was likely to develop sepsis seems not to have any medical evidence supporting it. Especially since he was in the regular care of a family doctor. And people wonder why the medical profession is no longer held in the high esteem it once was.
One cannot, I repeat cannot say that loud enough.
Also never voluntarily place yourself under the jurisdiction of any government agency. Getting out from it may prove to be impossible.
Last I knew it’s the position of at least ACS (NYC cps) that there is no right to an attorney during investigations and questioning, as they are “civil” in nature, even though there is a program for indigents to get counsel for the court proceedings.
Yep, ever closer to Plato’s sick dream.
I would think someone would challenge that position. How they can argue it is a civil matter when a person is in danger of being jailed, having their minor children removed, and put involuntarily under state jurisdiction is beyond me.
Again, I want to emphasize CPS (or such) rely on people not being aware of the rights they have at EVERY stage of their dealing with CPS.

5 Crucial Rights to Protect if CPS Comes Knocking
I’m thinking the doctor and/or the hospital did a white blood count and determined that there was an infection, not just an allergic reaction.
Rash and swelling could be an allergic reaction but could also be a serious infection.
I’m thinking the doctors and CPS might be right in this case and may have just saved the kids life. But would want to know more evidence than presented in the article.
Still, they should explain further their logic to the mother and give the child back after his infection is cleared.
They err on the side of caution, citing the safety/security/best interest of the child. Every time. If they’re wrong, they get a pass. Every time.
And after they get a pass, they keep whatever data they collected in the process of invading your privacy. There’s a file on you the parent. They get a pass for that too.
You answer their questions (the right and accepted answers), or they will take your child. If they take your child first and ask questions later, they get a pass for that too.
Since my first encounter I have seen what others have experienced. Most people my age have young children and many have run into CPS.
I’ve had a run in with CPS too. I informed the investigator she could not enter but that I would bring the child (grandson) outside for her to see. I told her that her demand that my son go for drug testing (since it was based on guidelines and not law) was a no go. I did agree that any such tests required by law would be shared with the agency. I thanked her for coming by and sent her on her way. Never heard a peep from CPS again.
The visit was because one of our dogs made a mess while we were at work and someone thought it had been there for days. It hadn’t. Two words will explain it all. Custody dispute.
Fascism is already in effect in this once-great country. They use various excuses and fancy words, but it amounts to the government usurping total power over all aspects of life.
The mother/child bond is one thing that they HATE. They are doing all they can to destroy it.
Has nothing to do with a rash.
It’s all in Huxley’s “Brave New World”, to the letter......................
They had no right to take that child. He was under medical care by the families doctor. An alternate antibiotic with fewer known side effects could have been prescribed. Of course the medical records are private but this is not a mother who neglects medical care for her son. No mention of a low grade consistent fever or any other abnormal vital signs. CPS was just showing their ass.
Sorry M.S. brain today.
Should read family’s doctor. I do know this but M.S. gives me the galloping stupids sometimes.
