The child and his brother were removed from their parents’ care. The state also took the third child after the mother gave birth. Doctors found the child suffered from an actual genetic condition and was not abused. After over a year – and $60,000 in legal fees – the family was reunited. The children suffer from mental health disorders because of being separated from their parents. [Link]
