I heard a little story my wifes nursing class was discussing yesterday.A 16 yr old girl was having a baby, the delievery was pretty rough and didnt go well.Because of this the baby was born healthy but had {cant remember the term}a lump on its head, it was like a big blood blister kind of that stuck out pretty bad.Anyway, it will eventually go away on its own.
So the babies about 3 weeks old and the mother has it at the supermarket with her grocery shopping.Someone in the store sees the mark on the babies head, calls the cops, and reports her for suspected child abuse.The cops and human services are waiting for her outside the store where they arrest her in public and haul her and the baby off.
thats pretty bad but it gets worse.The next 6 months are spent with her fighting a court case to keep her child.Even after shes found innocent the Department of human services keeps on her, supervising her while shes with the kid, unscheduled checks on the house, and things like that.The first year of the kids life the young mothers in constant fear of having her kid taken away because someone at the store stuck thier nose into her businuess with no idea what actually took place.And the legal system drug it out for 6 months, and the DHS drug it out even longer, and after she had been provehn innocent.
Shouldnt this have all ended as soon as the medical records were looked at or the doctor who did the delievery was spoken to?Just wondered what you all though, it isnt the first story like this Ive heard.How would you feel if you and your children were drug through this over a bump on the head?
