Newborn Seized Because Mom Questioned Necessity of Vaccination

Newborn Seized Because Mom Questioned Necessity of Vaccination



This
is what you get for questioning the "authority" and for having the
audacity to have your own voice in medical decisions for your children: a
social worker takes custody of an hours old newborn, while still in the
hospital, and prevents her mother from seeing her other than to nurse
her every 3 hours. All because she asked too many questions.


Yeah.
It happened. At Hershey Medical Center in Pennsylvania. Jodi Ferris had
planned a homebirth, but when things progressed too quickly for even
the midwife to arrive, her husband called an ambulance, and their
daughter was born on the way to the hospital. Story link.

When
they arrived at the hospital, there was a lot of activity. Jodi asked a
lot of questions about the care and condition of her daughter. Part of
that was because she received conflicting answers. And then?

Angela
Lopez-Heagy arrived. The government social worker. She announced that
she was there to conduct an investigation, the allegations of which she
refused to divulge.

Jodi told the social worker
that she wasn't comfortable answering questions unless she knew what the
allegations were. (Go girl.) Jodi's husband was with their other
children back at home, arranging care for them so he could join her at
the hospital.

The social worker threatened Jodi
that if she didn't answer the questions, she would call the police and
take custody of the newborn, Annie. And then she grilled Jodi about why
she didn't consent to the Hepatitis B vaccination for Annie. This is
about a vaccination consent?!! There were other questions, too... They
were more generalized.

Periodically, the social
worker left the room during this interrogation. And when she did? A
hospital staff member blocked the door to prevent Jodi from leaving her
room. She was, for all purposes, held prisoner in her hospital room.

And
then? The social worker came back with a "safety plan." Jodi asked to
see it. It wasn't written on paper yet. It was a carte blanche verbal
consent to "whatever the hospital wants." And if she didn't? Angela
Lopez-Heagy would take custody of Annie.

Jodi
asked to wait for her husband. The social worker said no. A police
officer instructed Jodi to hand Annie to a nurse. Jodi begged the social
worker to allow her to sign the "safety plan." She would do whatever it
took to keep custody. But the social worker said, "That window has
closed." They took the baby. And the officer escorted Jodi out of the
hospital. And off the hospital's property.

WHAT THE HELL?!!!

Jodi
spent the night in the parking lot across the street, with her husband,
in their car. They were allowed, every 3 hours, to return in order to
breastfeed Annie (but they weren't allowed to linger).

The
next morning, a judge returned custody to Jodi and her husband. And two
weeks later, he dismissed the case against them that the social worker
had filed.

Now? The Ferris' are suing the social
worker and the medical staff who seized Annie. They filed in March. In
July, the defendants motioned to have the suit dismissed. Last week, the
judge denied the motion, and the suit will proceed. Good luck to them.
As far as I'm concerned, they're fighting for my rights, too.
