Needs he bebby so she can keep on WICs and that extra buks on SNAP.....
I would love to read this article, but it doesn’t seem to be loading right.
Her son might have received entirely adequate care if she had taken him to the local hospital. On the other hand, if he had been critically ill, he might have died during the long drive to Boston.
Wouldn’t a judge see that she did the right thing & release her pronto, along with getting her children back? The nurse had no authority to tell her what to do, & she had every right to make her own decision. What is wrong with these people?!
Where’s the Daddy?
Your snarc is very misplaced. If I knew the doctor or nurse was wrong, and I could drive to a decent place to get them care, I would. No matter what it might cost me. Just because you have a pre-conceived notion in your head does not make it right, nor give you the right to spout it off like a moron.
This is an article where everyone and everything, including the atrocious writing, is wrong.
(Except that the baby is getting better).
I’m sure that there are going to be more details emerge on this story but from what Ive read so far she did everything right and the system did everything wrong (excluding Boston Children’s). Figures.
What was it to cause her to fixate on going to Boston, I wonder?
The woman is not a saint by any means.
I’d find that nurse and....
Maybe she’d seen a television program about it.
When one of my children is sick, we go to the corner emergency clinic. If the people there said, “You need to go to a hospital emergency room,” I would go to the nearest one (15 minutes away) rather than 3-1/2 hours away to Duke, even though it’s reported to be the best in the region.
This seems to be a “no harm, no foul” situation, but it might have turned out badly. It doesn’t appear that her son had a rare condition that was difficult to diagnose or treat.
So from whom did she allegedly “abduct” her child? Did the father have custodial rights as well and object to the trip to Boston?
Or did the incompetent nurse who almost whi misdiagnosed the baby (and apparently practices medicine without a license) claim the baby was “abducted” because the mother chose a different hospital than the one she told her to go to?
How did the nurse even know where the baby was being taken?
I would not drive 4 hours to take a child for whom I’d been told needs to go to the emergency room. Regardless of the quality, at that point stabilization, etc. would be on my mind - not the best in the world and 4 hours away. That stuff comes later.
Does anybody proof read before posting this stuff? The title makes no sense.
This seems to be the new style here at FR. Make a title comment about something, and then the “here’s what he/she/it did NEXT! [add video if available.]
The article you linked tells a totally different story. From that perspective, she didn’t take her child to the emergency room because she was afraid she’d be arrested on a variety of pending charges. Instead, she just took off, but because of the multi-state search for her, she eventually got him to a hospital.
The original article also doesn’t refute the information that the infant was dehydrated. It provides a reason (dysfunction of the esophagus) and another symptom (elevated white blood count).
They took her kid away.
Kidnapping under color of authority.
