I am not content to sit on the sidelines while the government gradually usurps the very essence of parental rights. I hope you share my determination. We need to stand with people like Scott and Jodi Ferris (obviously no relation to someone named Farris). Here’s their story:
Jodi went into labor a bit earlier than she had expected—and the baby was coming rapidly. Given their location and other factors, the midwife they had hoped would deliver the baby at their home encouraged them to get in an ambulance and head to the hospital.
Their baby, whom I will call “Annie,” was born in the ambulance in the parking lot of the Hershey Medical Center—a government hospital in Pennsylvania. Hospital personnel arrived very quickly and took charge of both baby and mom.
As any mother would do, Jodi immediately began to ask the nurses and attendants how her baby was doing. The hospital staff was utterly unresponsive. When they started to give Jodi an injection, she asked what it was and what it was for. They gave her vague answers like, “It’s just to help.” Only after giving her the injection of oxytocin did they tell her what it was and then asked, “You aren’t allergic to that are you?”
Oxytocin is not a vaccine. You might want to start there.
Maybe. But all we have to go on is what an attorney (who is asking for donations) has to say about it. Isn't it? And, of course, an attorney would never distort anything to favor his client.
Although this story may not contain all of the proper facts relating to why the hospital initiated these steps against the new parent and the newborn, they had done nothing wrong legally to have been separated from the new born

And then the story turns ugly. The social worker left the room and called the police. Without a court order they took custody of Annie, immediately claiming that she was suffering from illness or injury—a patently false claim. The social worker consented to the administration of the Hepatitis B shot even though no blood test had been done.
The police made Jodi Ferris get up out of her hospital bed and escorted her to the entrance—they were expelling her from the hospital because she had not signed the “safety plan.” Scott met her at the entrance to the hospital. The police escorted them both off of the grounds of the hospital. Jodi was told that she would be allowed to return every three hours to nurse the baby through the night.
Jodi and Scott were forced to spend the night that she had given birth in their car in the parking lot of a nearby Wal-Mart. You read that right. They kicked this mother out of the hospital, and in order to be close enough to feed her child, she had to sleep in the car. To add insult to injury, Jodi was given access to Annie only sporadically and not every three hours. Baby Returned The next morning a judicial officer held a shelter care hearing. After hearing the evidence, the officer immediately returned custody of Annie to her parents.

Or, it could be that more and more women are single mothers, working mothers, busy, burnt out, distracted, etc., on their way home from work, pick up the kid from day care, stop at the local store for dinner supplies............
It is against T&S to quote very much of an offsite article, and thus I kept with the sites rules.
