In 2017 my son was medically kidnapped after my husband and I brought him into the hospital with a swollen arm where they x-rayed him and found rib fractures in various stages of healing and a fracture in his arm.
They took him into foster care and arrested my husband.
In foster care he sustained two more fractures and they still severed our rights and convicted my husband.
He is currently serving 12 years in prison for it.
(He was convicted in 2019).
Our son was able to be placed with my parents after 11 months in foster care (they refused for that long to give him to them because they believed “they must be crazy for supporting people who abuse their child”).
After my husband was convicted and our son had to be adopted by my parents I decided to start going to college to get into law school to fight for families like mine.
I graduate law school next year and have been doing post-conviction work for the last year of my education.
