CPS Seizes Newborn Baby From Parents After They Chose A Home Birth And Refused Hospital Treatment For Jaundice
Dallas parents Temecia and Rodney Jackson decided to give birth to their daughter at home, but their newborn was seized by Child Protective Services after they refused to take her to the hospital for a particular treatment.
Home births have become more popular in recent years as many women are distrustful of the conventional medical system and prefer to have unmedicated, natural births. Numerous mothers indicate that they feel safer and more comfortable bringing their child into the world from their house rather than the hospital. Temecia and Rodney Jackson, a couple in Dallas, TX, made the decision to give birth to their daughter Mila at home with the help of a licensed midwife. However, a series of events soon led to Child Protective Services (CPS) taking Mila away from her parents and holding her in custody.
