St. Paul, MN — What began as a routine trip to the doctor for her child's cough culminated in Amanda Weber having her ten-month-old son Zayvion being taken out of her home and put into foster care. This pattern of government kidnapping children has become such an issue in Minnesota that hundreds of parents have formed a group to fight it.

Weber's ordeal began after she took her child to the hospital for a cough.

While the doctor diagnosed the infant with a cough, and deemed him to be in stable condition, he recommended that Zayvion stay. Instead, Weber decided to take her child home after inquiring if there was anything else that needed to be done or tests run.

"After waiting, I had asked to leave because I wanted to put my kids to bed and I had my three-year-old with me and I asked if there was anything else that had to be done," said Weber. "They said 'No, there was no other testing or anything that needed to be done.'"

In only a matter of days police were knocking on her door and took the child to the doctor – where Weber says there were already foster parents waiting in the room.

"She checked him out, all his vitals were stable," she said. "They already had a foster parent in the room, in the room to remove my son before they ever proved … before they ever proved there was an emergency situation."

Last week TFTP reported on parent's rights organization Stop Child Protection Services From Legally Kidnapping filing a letter in federal court asking a federal judge strike down Minnesota's current child protection laws for being too expansive and removing children from loving and safe homes without due process.

The Star Tribune reported that after Dwight Mitchell went public with a civil rights lawsuit in April, it opened the floodgates of complaints of abuse of authority against child protection agencies. Additionally, since the lawsuit was filed, membership in the Stop Child Protective Services From Legally Kidnappingorganization has grown to more than 1,200 members statewide.

The growing organization represents a coalition of civil rights groups, black parents and attorneys, and seeks a court order declaring that specific state laws governing circumstances under which a child can be removed from the home deprive families of due process and are unconstitutional.
