This past weekend we reported on the medical kidnapping of a baby in Idaho who was literally ripped from the arms of his mother who was his sole source of nourishment through breastfeeding.
The actual abduction by Meridian Police Detective Hanson was captured on video by the mother and live-streamed to her Facebook Page, where we grabbed it and put it on our video channels as well.
The parents' alleged crime was to disagree with a doctor, and fail to make a scheduled doctor's appointment. The child reportedly did not have any serious medical conditions, but was simply underweight, and diagnosed as "malnourished."
Hundreds of people showed up in Boise over the past few days to protest the kidnapping of this innocent child.
According to medical records obtained from St. Luke’s Hospital, the baby was allegedly discharged on March 4th with a clean bill of health, according to the baby's grandfather.
After the baby was kidnapped by the State on Saturday, March 12th from the arms of his breastfeeding mother, his parents were allowed a 2-hour visit with him two days later, where it was obvious to them their child was being abused in State care.
Apparently the mother, Marissa, was able to pump out some of her breast milk and give it to the hospital to start feeding the baby, and then the next day, March 15th, a doctor called the father (Levi) and left a 7-minute voicemail on his phone giving an update on the baby stating that he was medically cleared to go home and "Hopefully we can get Cyrus back to you as quickly as the state will allow."
Their first hearing in court before a judge concluded yesterday, March 16th, and there were hundreds of people locally and probably tens of thousands of people around the country hoping that this poor baby would be returned to his parents.
But having covered these medical kidnapping child trafficking stories for years now, I can report that this almost NEVER happens at the first hearing.
Why?
Because #1, to release the child immediately is to forfeit massive state and federal funding that the State can collect when the child becomes a ward of the State.
And #2, to release the child immediately would open up the door to legally prosecute those who removed the child needlessly if the judge found no cause to remove the child in the first place.
And sure enough, that is exactly what happened. Magistrate Judge Laurie Fortier awarded custody of Baby Cyrus to the State of Idaho.
