More CPS bad behavior
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 6:09 am
This woman appears to be an EXCEPTIONAL mother. Based on what I read in these two articles... CPS tried to take her child away from her because she refused to give the child psychotropic drugs that the state is now saying were unnecessary. The best part of this whole case is that the CPS worker responsible for this made her decision after 2 weeks. I suspect that the mother was very uncooperative with the social workers which lead to a negative report... but who knows maybe mom was neglecting the child... of course mom firing a gun does suggest some outside of the normal range psychology.

Detroit mother Maryanne Godboldo faces multiple felony charges and is being held on $500,000 bond after a 10-hour standoff with a heavily armed police SWAT team. Godboldo was protecting her 13-year-old daughter from unnecessary medication ordered by the state.
== medication determined immediately afterwards to not be necessary
Despite her handicap, the child swam, sang, danced and played the piano. However, as the home schooled girl approached middle school age, she apparently wanted to start attending public school, and therefore had to “catch up” on immunizations the state insists are required under color of law.
== running for great mom award (child had foot amputated as a baby).
Maryanne Godboldo sought help from the Children’s Center, an organization claiming to help families with at-risk children. Godboldo told relatives the medications ordered by the doctor worsened symptoms, including behavioral problems.
== these people actually believe they know the best way for you to raise your kid. I worked for Department human services, I can assure you the conversations they hold are frightening and they sit around and tell each other how great they are for saving this child and that child. they are like adrenaline junkies looking for the next story where they can be the hero. I also worked for a non profit speciailzing in residential treatment of kids with severe behavioral problems... social work attracts a certain kind of person... often a damaged psyche.
When Godboldo refused to give her child the prescribed medication, Child Protective Services became involved. CPS obtained a warrant to remove the girl, but Maryanne reportedly refused to surrender the child to the state.
== a complete med list is not provided, but psychotropic drugs are specifically mentioned.
“Child Protective Services was trying to force her child to take a dangerous medication, Risperdal, against her will. We have been able to get a court order signed by [Wayne County Circuit Court] Judge Richard Skutt, staying the administration of this drug, which is not approved by the FDA in such cases. That’s why they put her in Hawthorne, so they could dope her up,” family attorney Allison Folmar told the media.
== http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000944/ bunches of side effects listed. but basically i bet mom decided she didn't want to give her kid mood altering drugs. she probably thinks her daughter is fine, the psych apparently didn't.
The Godboldo case is yet another example of CPS working in league with the police in order to kidnap children. Godboldo was obviously an excellent mother and not a threat to the police. The fact they sent a tank to her apartment is more evidence that the state will react in a violent knee-jerk fashion when its authority is challenged.
== they sent a fuking tank and the swat team... because she apparently fired a shot into her ceiling to prevent the social workers / police from taking her daughter. the swat team really? a tank really?

Authorities have determined there is no emergency need for a 13-year-old girl to be on medication, after the girl's mother was accused of medically neglecting her by not giving her a psychotropic drug.
== so basically the premise for removing the child was trumped up. If a real investigation is tolerated, I bet this social workers comes out looking bad. I mean she decided within 2 weeks to remove the child from the mother's custody. There had better have been some real serious life threatening danger to necessitate removal.
Godboldo has said she should have the right to decide treatment for her daughter, whom she was weaning off the drug in favor of holistic methods.
== I agree with her... i mean unless the kid is truly psyhcotic and a danger ot herself or others i think the mother should have great liberty to determine the medical treatment.
Though officials said Wednesday that there was no immediate need to give the girl medication, Michigan Assistant Attorney General David Law said he may reintroduce the issue later if the need arises.
== having trouble seeing why the daughter needed to be removed from mom's custody
Mia Wenk, a CPS worker, testified earlier this month that she filed a petition containing multiple allegations of neglect, along with the order to take the child into protective custody, two weeks after she became involved in the case March 10.
== 2 weeks to decide that mom was an unfit parent. I can't wait to see what these neglect allegations are. Probaly crap related to being homeschooled and the ubuiquitous "failure to thrive"
