I would have ended up in jail or shot dead by one of those two cops that "welfare" agent brought along when they confiscated her newborn baby girl, if such a thing had happened to me after I had my daughter.

It seems as tho it was a hundred years ago now, but I also left the hospital early, after I followed the nurse who took my newborn down the hall to have a bilirubin check for jaundice and I watched thru a window the procedures that they performed on my hours-old baby. I took her home just as soon as she was back in my arms and what a relief it was to get us out of that place.

To read that an outrageous travesty of "child protection" such as that took place in California is frightening to me and I certainly hope that Ms. Langwell is able to build some sort of legal case against that Medical facility.

What happened to her family should provide a boost to the services of midwives and home-birthing, at least.

Thanks for sharing this article, madfloridian. The rights of common working people continue to swirl down the drain.
