Caregivers find new ways to ease infant withdrawal

Caregivers find new ways to ease infant withdrawal | New Hampshire:

As the opioid epidemic deepens its deadly grip on New Hampshire, hospitals are seeing an increase in the number of babies suffering because of it.Born in withdrawal, these infants suffer nausea, headaches, tremors, diarrhea and rashes. They often can't eat, sleep or relax.
Comment: Some infant withdrawals are caused by prescribed medication, given to the Mother and for some UNGODLY reason, these Mother's are reported to DCYF. Makes no sense to open a case against someone for taking prescribed medication or medication given to a Mother in labor. What has our Nation become?

Senator Nancy Schaefer: Did her Fight Against CPS Child Kidnapping Cause her Murder? - Freedom's Floodgates:

Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer may have known more about State-sponsored kidnappings than any other politician in the United States before she was murdered in March of 2010. Her published report, The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services, is reproduced below. It was the basis for many lectures and interviews she gave on the topic. She claims the report caused her to lose her Senate seat in the Georgia State Senate, but she stated:
However, there are causes worth losing over.
This cause was so big however, that there are some who believe she lost more than just her job. They believe she lost her very life.

What is the Difference between Re-homing Adopted Children and Child Trafficking

Social Work Helper | As Arkansas Outlaws Re-homing, Other States Might Follow Suit - Social Work Helper:
Re-hominga practice which consists in transferring a child’s custody to non-family members without the oversight of child welfare or judicial authorities, became a nationwide issue after Reuters published an investigation in September 2013. The 18-month investigation revealed that parents used Internet discussion groups to give away their adopted children and sparked heightened debate across the country. In May 2014 the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) sent a Memorandum to state child welfare authorities encouraging an overhaul of legislations to “adequately address the implication of re-homing” and putting an emphasis on post-adoption services.

When 'Stranger Danger' is actually the police and CPS

Can Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Be Misdiagnosed?

My stolen granddaughter was diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, by Nashua DCYF's cohort Hospital two day's after her birth. Two day's after discharge paperwork was signed off by three Nurses and the Hospital Social Worker that stated my granddaughter met ALL criteria for discharge.
My daughter's pregnancy was considered High Risk, due to a myriad of complications. The cohort Clinic attempted to test her for gestational Diabetes, but the slime they made her drink wouldn't stay down. It came right up, just as everything else had. The Clinic went no further with testing, although a simple blood test would have given them the answer they were looking for.
Through my research of the last 9 1/2 years since my granddaughter's kidnapping by the State, I have come to the conclusion my daughter indeed suffered from Gestational Diabetes throughout her pregnancy. She had ALL the symptom's. Her daughter was born at 35 1/2 weeks at the weight of a full term baby.
Untreated or Poorly treated Gestational Diabetes can cause a baby to be born early. It can also cause a baby to be born bigger than normal size at full term.
See:http://www.livestrong.com/article/74132-complications-diabetes-newborn/

Also:http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001597.htm   Infant of Diabetic Mother
The infant is often large for gestational age. Other symptoms may include:
  • Blue or patchy (mottled) skin color, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing (signs of immature lungs or heart failure)
  • Newborn jaundice (yellow skin)
  • Poor feeding, lethargy, weak cry (signs of severe low blood sugar)
  • Puffy face
  • Reddish appearance
  • Tremors or shaking shortly after birth

Treatment

All infants who are born to mothers with diabetes should be tested for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), even if they have no symptoms.
If an infant had one episode of low blood sugar, tests to check blood sugar level will be done over several days. Testing will be continued until the infant's blood sugar remains stable with normal feedings.
Specific systems most often affected
a) Central Nervous system
The infants tend to have an increased startle reflex and are tremulous during the 1st 3 days of life, although hypotonia, lethargy, and poor sucking may also occur. Seizures, if they occur are due to hypoglycemia or hypocalcemia. Mechanism for low calcium is as follows: The mother with Type 2 Diabetes is likely to have decreased blood Mg levels (due to (1) excretion in kidney and (2) increased insulin-mediated uptake into cells). Low Mg levels in the infant inhibit the parathyroid gland to respond to hypocalcemia through the release of PTH.
My granddaughter was never tested for low blood sugar even though she had some of these symptom's
Neonatal abstinence syndrome Symptoms
  • Blotchy skin coloring (mottling)
  • Diarrhea
  • Excessive crying or high-pitched crying
  • Excessive sucking
  • Fever
  • Hyperactive reflexes
  • Increased muscle tone
  • Irritability
  • Poor feeding
  • Rapid breathing
  • Seizures
  • Sleep problems
  • Slow weight gain
  • Stuffy nose, sneezing
  • Sweating
  • Trembling (tremors)
  • Vomiting
Many of the symptom's are the same in both cases. Misdiagnosis? I'm sure it was!
My granddaughter was never tested for low blood sugar even though she had some of these symptom's.
My research tells me, my daughter DID have Gestational Diabetes, left untreated just like everything else she suffered from during her pregnancy. And yes, I  believe she was misdiagnosed as I've stated all along. And how can a baby be diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome when the cohort Hospital fed the Mother Morphine by IV for 19 1/2 hours in labor because the baby was Placenta Previa, who should have been born by C-Section, but was instead forced to deliver vaginally?
And yes, I believe my granddaughter's kidnapping by the State was planned from Day One. And they knew from the start who they were placing my granddaughter with. Foster stranger's who moved to NH from Massachusetts, who did not meet Residence requirement's, along with a few more tidbit's I've found throughout my research that lead me to believe the Stranger's were "Chosen" by DCYF before my granddaughter was even born.

The Diegel story helped to thrust the issue of medical kidnapping into the national spotlight.

Medical Kidnapping Business: Judges Skirting the Law for Federal Funds

Medical Kidnapping Business: Judges Skirting the Law for Federal Funds:

One of the tragic themes we hear in almost all of these medical kidnapping stories is that the judge in family court is so quick to approve CPS in their removal of the child from the parents. CPS can enter a home without a warrant or court order, simply because there is a complaint that a child is in “imminent danger.” Often that complaint is from a doctor. Law enforcement is trained to cooperate with CPS, and the child is removed, by force if necessary.

Vermont Teen Drugged Against Her Will, Held in Custody in Massachusetts Mental Health Facility

Vermont Teen Drugged Against Her Will, Held in Custody in Massachusetts Mental Health Facility:

“I’m just literally here as a hostage. I didn’t do anything. I haven’t harmed anyone. I haven’t harmed myself, and they won’t let me go home. I just want to go home to my mom, so I can have my life back. They took it from me. They are drugging me up every single day against my will.”
This isn’t a quote from a dystopian novel, or a sci-fi thriller. It is the heartfelt plea recorded by an American teenager being held in a facility in Massachusetts against her will and that of her family in Vermont. Karen Maple is very concerned about the well-being of her daughter, 17 year old Elissa, since DCF seized custody of the teen over a year ago, in December 2013.

Not a day goes by that you are not thought of and remembered. Easter's were always fun filled and happy with you Austin and Ally. The fun times we shared before your cousin Bella was stolen, who never even got to spend Easter with her REAL family, stolen at birth from all of us.
Hopefully soon, the three of you will come home where you belong. Where you're so loved and so greatly missed. Easter and our traditional Easter egg hunt's just aren't the same without you.
Hoping all three of you have a Happy Easter and remember our Easter's as a REAL family.
Maybe next year will bring all of you home. We hope so.

Love forever and always, Grammy, Grampy and your entire REAL Family!

• False accusations, charges and prosecutions of child abuse can destroy not only individuals but also families, neighborhoods and entire communities. Such charges, whether made by private individuals, health care workers, police or prosecutors make people lose faith in the entire justice system.

Medical Kidnapping: A Threat to Every Child in America Today

Medical Kidnapping: A Threat to Every Child in America Today:

If you live in the United States of American today, and you have children in your home under the age of 18, every day you are in danger of losing your children to the State through medical kidnapping.All across the United States today, parents are losing custody of their biological children due to medical kidnapping. Medical kidnapping is defined as the State taking away children from their biological parents and putting them into State custody and the foster care system, simply because the parents did not agree with a doctor regarding their prescribed medical treatment for the family. In some cases it is as simple as telling a doctor you are going to seek a second opinion on a suggested medical procedure, and then ending up being charged with “medical abuse” and losing your children.
