CPS Grabs Newborn Baby From A Disabled Christian Mother After The Parents Expressed A Desire Not To Vaccinate

Sometimes a story comes along that makes your blood boil, and this is one of them.  All over the nation CPS is stealing children from Christian families that express concerns about the safety of vaccines, but I never expected it to happen in north Idaho.  Actually, a large number of families from all over the country have moved to Idaho in recent years specifically because of the vaccine issue.  In Idaho, there is no legal requirement to vaccinate your children, and so no child should ever be taken away because parents do not intend to vaccinate.  Unfortunately, that appears to be what happened in this case.

Earlier today I spoke with Simona Mona of Health Freedom Idaho on the telephone.  She said that she would send me a basic account of the facts in this case, and I told her that I would share those facts with my audience.  Simona is hoping to get as many people as possible out to a court hearing that is being held on Monday morning…

Friends we have an incredibly important battle on our hands. Something unconscionable has happened in North Idaho this last week. We were notified by the daugther of a local pastor here in Kootenai County regarding a woman of his congregation, Diamond Mehlhoff, who gave birth in Kootenai County @ KMC on Monday November 20th via C section. On Wednesday November 22nd, after the parents refused vaccination for the baby, the state became involved and took this beautiful baby, Elijah, from his loving parents, claiming the mother to be unfit due to a diagnosis of cerebral palsy (a non progressive movement disorder). They have stated the mother to be bedbound, which is not at all the accurate, she also lives with her husband Ari and the grandfather of the baby. This is an unbelievable, unheard of, egregious case of disability discrimination. Their court hearing is tomorrow Monday 27th at 8am @ 205 N 4th Street Coeur D Alene ID 83814 in the Juvenile Justice Center. They are asking anyone available to please come support them.

It is very important to note that the state did not take any action until the parents expressed a desire not to vaccinate the child.  This is a common theme that comes up again and again in cases such as this around the country.  If you do not intend to vaccinate, it is probably best not to give birth at a hospital if you have that option.

From what I am being told, the authorities hope to institutionalize Diamond, declare the father to be unfit, and permanently keep the baby away from the parents.  This makes me so angry that I don’t know if I have the words to express what I am feeling right now.  As you can see from the photo at the top of this article, obviously Diamond is not “bedbound”.  She is just fine and definitely does not need to be institutionalized.  And the authorities have never even been to the husband’s home, and so they have absolutely no grounds for declaring him to be “unfit”.

If CPS wins in this case, what is going to happen the next time a disabled woman has a child here in Idaho?

Are all disabled women going to have their babies ripped from them once they give birth from now on?

Simona is 100% correct when she says that this is an “egregious case of disability discrimination”.  Those that are attempting to take this child away from Diamond should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

If you would like to do something to get involved in this case, you can learn more on Health Freedom Idaho’s official Facebook page.  I personally know the leaders of Health Freedom Idaho, and they are relentless fighters for the things that we believe in.

Please share this article and the material about this case on Health Freedom Idaho’s Facebook page as widely as you can.  We want to make as much noise about this case as possible, because we want the authorities to back down and leave this Christian family alone.

WATCH: Man Films as Police Enter His Home Without a Warrant, Kidnap His Children

Kidnapping occurs when a person is taken against his/her will. Often, when the mainstream media reports on children who have been kidnapped, it will name the perpetrator as a criminal.

How then does society view the forceful removal of one’s own children by police? According to Raymond Lee Meyers II, police and Child Protective Services in Muskegon, Michigan kidnapped his children and forced him to become homeless.

Meyers said all his problems started in March when he and his girlfriend, Kayla, were having an argument. Police were called to his home, and he claims that although no charges were filed against him, CPS became involved.

CPS opened a case against him after the altercation with police—an interaction that Meyers said resulted in him getting “beaten up.” The agency made repeated attempts to gain entry into his home, but because the two parents worked third shift, Meyers said they did not answer the door.

Advertisment

One social worker claimed Meyers was insane and moved to have the children—a two-year-old and a four-year-old—removed from the home.When CPS arrived to seize the children, the distraught father decided to document the removal by filming it.

The police officer addressed Meyers by saying, “I’m not going to discuss this with you, I’m just going to tell you what’s going to happen.”

The officer then claimed that not only did they not have a court order, but they did not have a warrant to enter his premises. Nevertheless, they moved to enter his property and take away his children.

Meyers told the police they were not welcome on his property, and yet, without a search warrant, they proceeded to enter the home. The officers then informed the children that they were being taken.

It should be noted that the same man CPS said was crazy, comported himself much better than many others who have gone through similar kidnappings. He was relatively calm, albeit angry, and kept his composure through the entire ordeal.

Meyers contacted Police the Police and asked for his story to be shared with the public. He said his children were removed, but were eventually returned to the home. However, while they were allowed to stay with his girlfriend, Kayla, Meyers said he was not allowed to return home, or to have any interaction with Kayla or the children.

In essence, the state used the police to kidnap a man’s kids and give them to someone else, who was not their biological parent, all because one social worker believed him to be an unfit parent.

Meyers said that while he is not allowed to return to his own him, he is still forced to support his family while he is homeless. After spending around $11,000 during the ordeal, Meyers said he is now out of money.

Despite claims from CPS that questioned his sanity, Meyers said he was evaluated by a psychiatrist and was deemed to be as normal as anyone could be given the circumstances.

We have not been able to verify any of Meyers’ claims, but we feel the video speaks for itself. It shows police officers, under threat of force, demand a man not enter his own home while they—complete strangers to the children—go into his home, in violation of his Fourth Amendment rights, and take his children. If that’s not kidnapping, what is?

Worse yet, the man was forced to leave his own home or risk losing his children to the care of complete strangers. While the whole ordeal makes no sense, it serves to demonstrate the power the state has over families and their children.

A quick check of arrest records appears to show Meyers was charged in 1998 with “assault with a deadly weapon.” No other details of his criminal record were found. Meyers’ Facebook page shows he’s a fisherman, an artist who carves wood, and has uploaded many photos of happier times with his children. He’s set up a GoFundMe page in an attempt to have his parental rights restored which a judge has taken away.

“I’m fighting MPD,CPS,and Muskegon family court system.  NOT a custody battle. Muskegon family court has allowed CPS to order me out of my own home and away from my children for months now.  I have two baby mothers involved and both of them are on my side and want me there 100%.”

Cooperating with CPS is a very dangerous thing to do, especially when the unelected organization has the power to take away your children. As a courtesy to our readers, we are providing the following link so that you know what to do when and if, the day ever comes when CPS, along with the police, knock on your door.

WATCH: Your Child ‘Belongs to the State’: Lawmakers Claim the State Owns Your Children

Legislators in Texas have been working toward passing a host of laws to reform the state’s Child Protective Services agency. New legislation has been crafted to improve the agency which has seen multiple dilemmas resulting in detrimental safety problems for children in the state. There have been several bills introduced this year aimed at improving the agency. One bill, in particular, House Bill 39, seeks in part to require medical exams to be performed more quickly on children who have been newly placed into the foster care system.

HB 39, introduced by Rep. Gene Wu (D-Houston), would mandate that the state’s Department of Family Protective Services schedule a medical examination for children who have been in temporary state custody for longer than three business days. Children in rural locations would be required to receive a medical exam within seven business days.

While the bill was originally centered around hastening medical exams for new foster children, questions arose regarding whether vaccines would be included as part of these medical exams. Rep. Bill Zedler (R-Arlington), the vice chairman of the Texas Freedom Caucus, introduced an amendment to HB 39 to make vaccinations exempt from the required medical treatments. The bill saw a turbulent debate upon Zedler’s amendment as the discussion turned to childhood vaccines and who should be responsible for crucial medical decisions when custody is obscured.

“You get that child back five, eight, 10 days later, and they’ve now had that surgery or they’ve had these vaccinations,” Zedler said according to Dallas Morning News. “That’s an issue of liberty.”

Wu was vocal about his belief that the law allows the state to assume authority in such situations. “Let me make very clear: the moment a child is removed from their home- the moment the child is removed- by law, the child is now a child of the state of Texas,” said Wu. “We have the responsibility to make sure that child is safe and is given proper medical care. That is the law.”

“When we put into the law that we are limiting the ability of our agency that is tasked with taking care of a child that is in their custody and they are legally responsible for, we are setting a dangerous precedent,” Wu continued. “This is the same thing I told you when we argued over my bills and this is the same thing I will tell you again when we argue over this bill.”

Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R-Bedford) questioned Wu’s choice of wording: “Mr. Wu, you used the word ‘belongs to the state of Texas.’ Do you want to rethink that wording?” he asked. Strickland then interrupted Wu’s response and went on to ask “True or false: that CPS has taken children and found that they were wrong in doing so? And returned the child? Has that happened, Representative Wu?”  Wu acknowledged that it has occurred “on rare occasions.”

Stickland challenged not only Wu but also Rep. Sarah Davis (R-West University Place), who sought to add an additional amendment in response to the amendment of Zedler’s, which would allow “cancer-preventing” vaccines to be administered, particularly the HPV vaccine.

Davis noted statistics related to cervical cancer deaths and low HPV vaccination rates in Texas and said that “the HPV vaccine will eliminate cervical cancer.” Stickland asked Davis if she believed that parents had the right to choose medical procedures for their children. Davis responded that she believed “children that have been taken from their parents and are in protective custody undergoing a medical examination should be given a vaccine that prevents them from developing cancer.”

Stickland asked Davis if she understood that they were discussing the issue of children in temporary custody with no parental rights terminated during the medical exams. “Agreed, but cancer is not temporary,” Davis answered.

Strickland repeated his question of whether she thinks parents have the right to choose medical procedures for their children, and Davis said that “we have to find a balance because there is absolutely in my opinion zero science behind the fact that any vaccines are systematically harming children.”

Rep. Jeff Leach (R-Plano) also challenged Davis’ amendment and said that it appeared that her amendment would transfer decision-making authority from families to a physician. Leach asked Davis if her amendment “goes against the wishes” of a child or the parents.

Leach added that he was not interested in deciding which vaccines are “good or bad” or who needs to be vaccinated, but was focusing on the question of who would have the authority to make vaccination decisions under her amendment. “Who at the core at the very basic level, who should make this decision?” Leach asked Davis.

Davis’s amendment was tabled in a 74-64 vote; Zedler’s amendment to prohibit vaccines during medical exams was passed in a 74-58 vote, with another amendment attached by Wu to allow for tetanus shots to be administered in emergencies.

Zedler later said to The Texas Tribune that the majority of parents that he’s communicated with are not overall opposed to vaccines but are troubled by the scheduling. He also said that  “the only one that might possibly be [an emergency] is a tetanus shot.” 

In the video below, Wu makes the ominous claim that parents — who’ve not been found guilty of any wrongdoing — no longer have care over their children and that those children now belong to the state. When the state begins to claim they own our children, something is very wrong.

Wu vs Stickland

In this horrifying moment, Gene Wu for State Representative 137 claims a child in temporary custody, whose parents have NOT been found guilty of any wrong doing, belong to the state. Watch for yourself and then decide how you feel about this idea that, when parental rights have not yet been terminated, the state owns these children! If this doesn"t scare you into action, I"m not sure what will. We must stop this complete disregard for parental rights. NOW. Thank you, Rep. Jonathan Stickland for your unwavering comittment to parental rights.#TFVC#parentscalltheshots#thechoiceshouldbeyours#dontCaliforniaMYTexas

Mom Treats Daughter with Marijuana, Loses Custody of Her 2 Kids

A Gooding, Idaho, mom lost custody of her children and is facing charges after treating her daughter’s seizures with marijuana butter. [1]

Three-year-old Madyson began suffering seizures and hallucinations in early October after coming off of the prescription anti-psychotic drug Risperdal, which was being used to treat a history of seizures.

Madyson’s mom, Kelsey Osborne, explained:

“They [the seizures] would stop and come back, stop and come back with the hallucinations and everything else.” [2]

In an attempt to soothe her seizures, Osborne made her daughter a smoothie containing 1 tablespoon marijuana butter.  

Thirty minutes later, Madyson’s seizures went away, according to Osborne.

A few hours later, Osborne took the girl to the doctor, where she tested positive for marijuana, and the Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) was called.

Now, Osborne has lost custody of her 2 children and has been charged with misdemeanor injury to a child. She is currently protesting Child Protective Services (CPS) to regain custody rights of Madyson and Ryker, 2, from her ex-husband, Jerome. [1]

On November 3, Osborne and the Idaho Moms for Marijuana group rallied at outside the DHW in Boise, urging marijuana reform.

Idaho is the only state from the surrounding states in which all forms of marijuana use, medical or otherwise, are illegal. Just 34 children with severe epilepsy have any access to marijuana-based treatment, in the form of an experimental treatment program in Boise that utilizes cannabidiol oil (CBD).

DHW spokesman Tom Shanahan said:

“The [CBD] they use for epilepsy doesn’t have THC, it doesn’t appear to have any kind of brain development issues. Recreational marijuana does cause that so it’s not safe for these children.

He added:

“Marijuana is illegal, period.” [2]

The butter Osborne made did contain THC, as CBD oil is not available in Idaho beyond the program. [1]

Osborne has no regrets and believes she did what was right as a mother. She said:

“It’s something that I’m going to fight for and I’m not going to give up until I have them back home where they have been begging me to be. I’m not going to stop. I won’t stop. If it takes me two years, then it’s going to take me two years.”

Osborne has plenty of support, too. Her backers have launched a petition to return the children to her custody, gaining 719 signatures so far. The petition will become eligible to be viewed by Idaho governor, Butch Otter, once it has garnered 1,000 signatures. [3]

The petition states:

“Regardless of Idaho laws surrounding marijuana, a parent’s responsibility is for the care, control, and the well being of their children. Idaho laws should reflect science and logic and not impede upon a parent’s rights to choose what is best for their children. The Osborne case shows the failure of prohibition in Idaho and the need for reform of the archaic laws and CPS policies that prevent families from choosing a safer medical alternative for their families. Return the Osborne children to their mother, and change Idaho Marijuana laws/policy.”

Risperdal

Risperdal, or risperidone, is intended to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, both psychiatric conditions. Many people take Risperdal for seizure disorders, but it is considered an off-label use. [4]

In 2012, Johnson & Johnson (J&J), the maker of Risperdal, agreed to pay a $1 billion fine to the U.S. government and most states over its marketing of Risperdal for unapproved uses.

Risperdal is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in children under 5.

The medication can cause severe side effects, including heart rhythm problems and kidney failure.

Ironically, 1 of the warnings on the Risperdal label is that the drug can actually cause epileptic seizures.

Source: Fox News

In studies, risperidone has been shown to shrink the brain.

Which is more dangerous – cannabis or Risperdal?

Which is the bigger crime – giving a kid a tablespoon of cannabis butter in a smoothie, or prescribing an ongoing course of frighteningly dangerous prescription drugs for a use not even approved of by the FDA?

What causes more brain damage – Risperdal or THC?
