Mother Loses 3 Children Because “Daughter is Too Short”
Medical Kidnap? Mother Loses 3 Children Because “Daughter is Too Short”:
It’s true – Angela Borths’ daughter is short. So is she – just under 5 feet tall. In fact, being short runs in the family. But that didn’t stop her pediatrician from allegedly reporting her to Child Protection Services (CPS.) The petite mother has now had her 3 youngest children taken by the state of Oregon on grounds of “medical neglect,” because her 6 year old daughter is short, and because she says she missed an appointment for her son when there was a 2 month lapse in their ObamaCare insurance.

This website was started to document the many stories that were coming to our attention where families were losing their children to the State, and the foster care system, over medical disagreements. In many of these cases, their children were taken away simply because they disagreed with a doctor, or wanted to take their children to a different doctor to get a second opinion.

Scary words are coming from a former foster child about abuse he says is the norm in group home foster care. Kristopher Sharp he and others are working to change Texas law that would help other foster children get the help he says he was denied. “There's always some type of abuse whether it's physical or sexual it's very pervasive,” he asserted.

Plaistow mother involved in abuse case granted parole
Plaistow mother involved in abuse case granted parole | Local News - WMUR Home:
Jessica Linscott and Roland Dow dropped the boy off at a hospital in 2012 as he was suffering from life-threatening injuries. The two left the state and were eventually found at a Florida amusement park.In court Thursday, Linscott broke down and apologized. She spent two-and-a-half years in prison and will move back in with her mother and now-6-year-old son once she's released.
Comment: Only in New Hampshire! A Parent in NH loses her child to the State for child endangerment. A charge that was already dropped in Criminal Court. There was no physical abuse, no abuse at all. Family Court never dropped the charges and never allowed the Mother to present evidence of innocence. Evidence that WAS admitted into Criminal Court. I don't understand this State. First they give children back to a parent with Criminal Felony abuse charges pending. We know what happened in that case. A precious child is now dead. Now, after this Mother is found guilty of criminal child endangerment and goes to prison for two years, she has a second chance with her son. When will this State EVER treat parent's equally? Don't you think the Mother proven innocent in Criminal Court should have gotten her child back? Well she never did! And there are many more proven innocent in this State that never get their children back. What's up in this State?

False allegations: CPS and Family Court – a match made in heaven
False allegations: CPS and Family Court – a match made in heaven - Vancouver Parenting | Examiner.com:
If you are having difficulty processing how a person can lose custody over false allegations of abuse, let me assure you, you are not alone.
There is a difference between criminal court and family court. In criminal court a person is deemed innocent until proven guilty. The prosecutor has the burden to prove that the defendant is guilty.
This is not the case in family court, where false allegations have become a commodity. In family court there is no burden of proof. Furthermore, the accused is guilty unless and until proven innocent. (Comment: Even then, CPS still considers them guilty!)

Heroin Exposed Newborns V. Methadone Exposed Newborn's
Heroin
Possible effect on newborn:
• Seizures • Addiction, withdrawal symptoms after birth • Breathing problems • Small size at birth • Physical and mental development problems
Stays in Infant’s System 6-8 hr.s after birth
Signs of withdrawal include hyperirritability, gastrointestinal dysfunction, respiratory distress, and vague autonomic symptoms (eg, yawning, sneezing, mottling, fever). Tremors and jittery movements, high‐pitched cries, increased muscle tone, and irritability are common. Normal reflexes may be exaggerated. Loose stools are common, leading to possible electrolyte imbalances and diaper dermatitis.
Long‐term symptoms have been difficult to study, but evidence supports that these children show hyperphagia, increased oral drive, sweating, hyperacusis, irregular sleep patterns, poor tolerance to environmental changes, and continued loose stools.
Methadone
Possible effect on newborn:
• Fetus will become addicted to methadone • Seizures due to withdrawal • Increased risk of SIDS • Gastro‐intestinal dysfunction • Hyper‐irritability • Respiratory distress • Developmental delays • Low birth weights
Stays in Infant’s System 6‐8 hrs after birth
Symptoms typically appear within 48‐72 hours but may not start until the infant is aged 3 weeks. This is particularly true for infants whose mothers took excessively higher doses. Conflicting data have emerged concerning withdrawal severity and higher in‐utero methadone doses.
