Dallas residents Rodney and Temecia Jackson say Dallas CPS and police took their newborn daughter Mila last week shortly after her home birth, and they don’t know if or when they’ll get her back.
Two weeks ago, Dallas parents Temecia and Rodney Jackson opted for a home birth for their newborn daughter, Mila, with licensed midwife Cheryl Edinbyrd. As of Thursday, she remains in the custody of Dallas Child Protective Services in what the Jacksons and their advocates at the Dallas-based, Black women-led birth and reproductive justice organization Afiya Center have likened to a “kidnapping.” Minutes before the start of a scheduled Thursday morning hearing for the couple to get their newborn back, the hearing was postponed to April 20th—two weeks from now.
Shortly after Mila’s birth last month, upon taking her to see their pediatrician of 10 years, they learned she had a mild case of jaundice—a highly common condition in newborns resulting in the yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, which typically goes away without treatment within one to two weeks. The Jacksons opted to follow Edinbyrd’s guidance to care for Mila in their home rather than leave her at the hospital. Within days, the Jacksons say Dallas police officers and CPS agents arrived at their doorstep at around 5 a.m., informing the family that their pediatrician had reported them and demanding that they turn her over.

North Texas parents demanding return of newborn taken by CPS over concerns about jaundice
"We've been treated like criminals. And that's far from the truth," Rodney Jackson said. "This is a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone."

DALLAS — A husband and wife in DeSoto are demanding Child Protective Services (CPS) return their newborn daughter after the days-old infant was taken from them in a dispute over the proper treatment for jaundice.
The couple alleges CPS used the criminal history of the wrong "mom" to help justify taking the child.

Mila Jackson was born on Tuesday, March 21 at the home of Rodney and Temecia Jackson. A licensed midwife helped deliver the baby. At six pounds nine ounces, they say the child was healthy and the home birth successful.
Three days later, the Jacksons said they took the child to a pediatrician for a standard checkup and received a clean bill of health from the nurse practitioner.
But later that day, Temecia Jackson said she began receiving messages from Baylor Scott & White Dr. Anand Bhatt. The doctor said Mila had jaundice with dangerously high levels of bilirubin -- which is a yellowish substance made during the body's normal process of breaking down old red blood cells.
Mila's bilirubin level was 21.7. Dr. Bhatt wrote that "at a bilirubln over 20, a baby risks brain damage, because the bilirubin can cross the blood brain barrier."

Dr. Bhatt suggested the parents bring Mila to the hospital for phototherapy, a standard jaundice treatment.
According to the Mayo Clinic, infant jaundice usually occurs because a baby's liver isn't mature enough to get rid of bilirubin in the bloodstream. In some babies, an underlying disease may cause infant jaundice.
The Jacksons say they told the doctor they would, with the help of their midwife, treat Mila's jaundice themselves at home -- including the phototherapy treatment. Dr. Bhatt said he had concerns they would not have the correct lights. But the family also said they would supplement Temecia's breast milk as recommended, and provide Dr. Bhatt with the contact information for their licensed midwife, Cheryl Edinbyrd.
"Several hours later into the night, [Dr. Bhatt] texts my phone very aggressive -- take her to the hospital or he's calling CPS," Temecia Jackson said of messages she received from the doctor.

In his letter to CPS, Dr. Bhatt stated, "I filed a case report with CPS after trying 10 attempts to appeal to the family through phone calls, text messages and leaving voicemails as they did not pick up the phone."
"Parents are very loving and they care dearly about their baby," the doctor wrote. "Their distrust for medical care and guidance has led them to make a decision for the baby to refuse a simple treatment that can prevent brain damage."
"I authorized the support of CPS to help get this baby the care that was medically necessary and needed," the letter continued.
CPS agreed. In its own statement, it wrote: "Due to the parents being unwilling to discuss the danger and potential consequences of this condition, it is necessary for the Department to intervene."
The CPS letter listed concerns of "possible stroke, brain damage, or other immediate dangers to child."
DeSoto police officers, armed with a court order, helped CPS take Mila from the home on March 28.
"Unlawfully, [they] entered my home to take my baby from me," Temecia Jackson said as she fought back tears at a Thursday, April 6, news conference held at the Afiya Center in Dallas.
But the Jacksons and their legal team also point out an obvious problem with the affidavit filed with the court that allowed CPS to take Mila: The affidavit used to justify CPS taking custody of the child lists the wrong mom -- a woman with a completely different name, and with a criminal history of child neglect.
Temecia Jackson, who has no criminal record, is not even listed as the child's mother on the affidavit.
"Instantly, I felt like they had stolen my baby as I had had a home birth, and they were trying to say my baby belonged to this other woman," Temecia Jackson said.
"We've been treated like criminals -- and that's far from the truth," Rodney Jackson said. "This is a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone."

Said Edinbyrd, the midwife who helped deliver Mila: "We are demanding that Mila be returned home today. Today. Because yesterday was too late."
A spokesperson for CPS, unable to explain why a different woman with a criminal history is listed in the court documents, said the department could not comment on the case.
Baylor Scott & White sent WFAA a written statement. It read as follows: "In respect of patient privacy, it is inappropriate to provide comment on this matter. We do abide by reporting requirements set forth in the Texas Family Code and any other applicable laws."
Meanwhile, Mila is being cared for by a foster family.
The Jacksons, who were allowed to visit their daughter Wednesday at a CPS office, say they have been given a court date of April 20.

Interesting

nah
the real story is different
you had to question why a pediatrician that has known the family for 10+ years will rewuest the kid to be taken

The shaderoom posted the story and apparently the baby had a very high dangerous level of bilirubin in her system at 21.5 levels exceeding 20 is considered dangerous and life threatening. It makes sense as to why the pediatrician contacted CPS especially if the parents didn't oblige to take the baby to the hospital to get ttreated. High bilirubin levels can lead to vision loss , cerebal palsy, brain damage , intellectual disabilities and etc.

The only thing missing from the text of the story is relationship. But here's more context of the timeline of events:

Two weeks ago, Dallas parents Temecia and Rodney Jackson opted for a home birth for their newborn daughter, Mila, with licensed midwife Cheryl Edinbyrd. As of Thursday, the infant remains in the custody of Dallas Child Protective Services in what the Jacksons and their advocates at the Dallas-based, Black-women-led birth and reproductive justice organization The Afiya Center have likened to a “kidnapping.” Minutes before the start of a scheduled Thursday morning hearing for the couple to get their newborn back, the hearing was postponed to April 20th—two weeks from now.

Shortly after Mila’s birth last month, upon taking her to see their pediatrician, they learned she had developed a case of jaundice—a highly common condition in newborns resulting in the yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, which typically goes away without treatment within one to two weeks. Dr. Anand Bhatt said the case was severe enough that they should take her to the hospital for phototherapy treatment, but the Jacksons opted to do the same phototherapy treatment for Mila in their home under Edinbyrd’s guidance. According to the letter Bhatt ultimately wrote CPS, published by local outlet WFAA, he was concerned that they had the wrong lights for the treatment. They’d connected him with Edinbyrd, but he was having trouble getting bacl in touch with them directly, and he decided to report them “after trying 10 attempts to appeal to the family through phone calls, text messages and leaving voicemails as they did not pick up the phone.”

“Parents are very loving and they care dearly about their baby,” he wrote of the Jacksons. “Their distrust for medical care and guidance has led them to make a decision for the baby to refuse a simple treatment that can prevent brain damage.”

Within days, the Jacksons say Dallas police officers and CPS agents arrived at their doorstep at around 5 a.m., informing the family that their pediatrician had reported them and demanding that they turn her over. The officers eventually left their home when the Jacksons refused—only to return hours later and tell the family that Mila was legally in the custody of Dallas CPS. The Jacksons again refused to turn over their newborn and instead reached out to their midwife for help. “Our midwife then reached out to the pediatrician, just letting him know that he had traumatized us, that we were woken up by police banging our door at 4 a.m., 5 a.m. Then after she gave him all the credentials he’d requested from her, he pretty much said he was going to leave our care and our midwife teams,” Temecia said at a Thursday press conference organized by the Afiya Center.

Over the next few days, everything seemed fine. But last Tuesday, as Rodney was walking the family’s dog outside their house, the police returned. He refused to surrender the baby when they confronted him, so they placed him under arrest, seized his keys, and used them to enter his home. There, officers took Mila from Temecia while she was alone.

Puzzlingly, on top of all this, Temecia claims the warrant that the Desoto Police Department and CPS agents used to take Mila didn’t even list her own name, instead listing her mother as another woman who’s previously had run-ins with CPS. The Jacksons still don’t even have Mila’s birth certificate because she wasn’t born in a hospital. “Instantly, I felt like they had stolen my baby, as I’d had a home birth. I didn’t know where to turn,” Temecia said.


In the last week, the Jacksons have been allowed a few supervised visits with Mila, who they say is in the care of a foster family. The visits have taken place at CPS offices in the presence of police officers, where Rodney told reporters they’re “treated like criminals.” Rodney claims that every attempt by the couple to deliver breast milk to Mila or otherwise care for her has been shut down.

The couple told reporters that at their latest visit on Wednesday, they noticed Mila had developed some irritation in and around her genitals. When they raised this to CPS workers, they were told the foster family would handle this, and they weren’t permitted to take Mila to get care. “With the foster parents is where this build-up and irritation [in Mila’s genitals] occurred, and yet you’re sending her back to the same foster family. We just feel helpless in this situation as we wait,” Temecia said. She and Rodney are already missing a critical postpartum period for parental bonding—now, they also have to worry about whether she’s safe in the care of strangers.

Dallas CPS and the Desoto Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Jezebel on the allegations that the Jacksons and the Afiya Center have made against them.

What is it about Texas where they take peoples kids so easily. They took my aunts first daughter (my cousin) after she wanted a second opinion on giving her a tracheotomy. She ended up dying in foster care when the baby knocked out her trache.
