The last paragraph mentions that apparently child protective services took the baby after a day because the father was alleged to have a history of domestic violence.
I was shocked when I read that. Does that actually happen? Is it common in the US that the authorities take newborn babies from their mother?
- DanBC 10y agoRemember that infanticide is a leading cause of death of infants, and accidental injury is another. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Protective_Services#Child_Protective_Services_statistics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Protective_Services#Chil... > On September 30, 2010, there were approximately 400,000 children in foster care in the U.S. of which 36% percent were ages 5 and under. During that same period, almost 120,000 birth to five year-olds entered foster care and a little under 100,000 exited foster care.[41]
