Like I said yesterday, the story of Scott and Jennifer gets worse... After a 10 year relationship that resulted in Jennifer's surprise pregnancy, they decided that it was best for their child to do things "as naturally as possible," which included breastfeeding. "Because Iris was born at home, it triggered a call to open up a CPS case. Jennifer says social workers told her that it was state policy in Maryland that CPS gets a call for every homebirth to do a walk through of the home 'to make sure it’s prepared for a baby.'"
The walk through went well, and social workers told the parents that the case would be closed by the end of the month. And, as is most often the case, the social workers lied. Baby Iris was growing just fine in every category except her weight... she was of normal height and the circumference of her head was also normal. The pediatrician, Dr. Alvaro Ramos, recommended that Jennifer stop feeding on demand and do it on a schedule- something that makes little to no sense. When the baby still didn't gain weight, Dr. Ramos called CPS... this after Scott and Jennifer, out of concern for Iris, had decided to seek medical advice elsewhere.
"Iris was described as an alert, happy baby. She rarely cried because either Jennifer or Scott held her most of the time. She had 10 to 12 wet diapers a day and a bowel movement every other day. There are no reports of dry skin or sunken fontanels. All of these are indicators that baby is getting enough milk, except for the fact that she was not gaining weight." In other words, Scott and Jennifer were doing everything right, but Iris still failed to gain weight... something CPS could do absolutely nothing about- unless their aim was to kidnap baby Iris with the assistance of Dr. Ramos.
It took a month, but the couple found another pediatrician, a Dr. Cheryl Parks of Blackwell White Pediatrics who also recommended scheduled feedings and supplementing breast milk with formula. "Things got strange after that, Jennifer reports: A few hours after that, she called again to say that she didn’t think Iris would survive the week and we should bring her to the ER on Thursday." (This was Monday). If the baby was in such danger, shouldn't the doctor have recommended immediate treatment? They decided to replace Dr. Parks.
"Jennifer and Scott immediately began searching again for a pediatrician, and Jennifer went back to nursing on demand. She was fine with her baby nursing “all the time” if that was what it took. They knew that their baby was small, and they were searching for answers.
They consulted an online lactation consultant and watched Iris closely for any signs of dehydration or illness.
They were stunned at the knock on their door on Friday evening, April 6, at 6 p.m. Two social workers and 4 Baltimore County police officers showed up with a “writ” from CPS saying that they were there to take the baby.
There was no warrant or court order – nothing signed by a judge.
The doctor had called CPS telling them that the baby would be dead by the end of the week. It was a harrowing ordeal that lasted almost 5 hours. They recorded most of the ordeal on Facebook Live. (View here.)
Most of the police officers acted compassionately, and they were able to negotiate for a medic to come to evaluate the baby.
The medic said that the baby was indeed very underweight, but, otherwise, she was doing well. She would certainly need to be evaluated by a doctor soon, but she did not appear to be in any immediate danger.
The police decided not to take the child out of the home that day.
The social workers did not appear to be happy with the decision. Records show that they had come to the home with the intent of seizing Iris."
Scott and Jennifer went to Facebook for help and someone suggested that baby Iris may suffer from "tongue and lip tie"... something overlooked by all of the previous pediatricians. Surgery was performed, but before Iris had a chance to recover, she was taken.
Enter Dr. Michelle Chudow, Director of the Child Protection Team at GRMC, who appears to have played a big part in what happened next. "Dr. Chudow was consulted by CPS since Monday, April 9, the day that the baby’s tongue and lip tie were addressed. She admits in her report: 'Of note, I have not examined this patient myself as of the writing of this note, nor have I had any direct interaction with the patient’s family.'" But CPS took baby Iris anyway... now things get really dark.
"Another major issue that Dr. Chudow seemed to have was Jennifer’s comments that: 'CPS is trying to steal her baby for the purpose of trafficking the infant or in order to receive a bonus at work. The patient’s mother even mentioned one time that she, herself, was sexually trafficked as a child….'"
Dr. Chudow's diagnosis was: "Jennifer is on disability for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because of the things that she has experienced, but an evaluation in the hospital for Postpartum Depression rated her at low risk for that. She has no other psychological diagnosis."
"That evaluation apparently did not convince the Child Abuse Specialist. Dr. Chudow wrote that she was afraid that Jennifer has an underlying psychological illness that prohibits her from: 'being able to trust and engage with both medical and child protection personnel, and not allow her to see past her own paranoid delusions regarding people trying to steal and traffic her infant.' [Emphasis added]"
"Not long before Child Protective Services and the police showed up on their doorstep, Jennifer Guskin released the first two in a set of YouTube videos in which she had began to talk about some of what she went through growing up in foster care, and part of a nationwide pedophile sex trafficking operation."
"The videos describe allegations of unimaginable horrors of child sex trafficking and experimentation, and a pedophilia network that allegedly reaches to highest levels of government and society."
(This is one of about 30 videos that Jennifer released describing her experiences... They are on YouTube on her channel, "AHumanExperiment.")
"These videos reveal a dark underbelly of corruption and evil on a level that most of us cannot even fathom. They are things that should never happen to another human being, let alone small children and babies. The fact that the U.S. foster care system is the #1 recruitment source for putting children into pedophilia child sex trafficking networks is not even disputed any longer. To learn more about this, see our previous stories."
Jennifer's fears aren't without basis, particularly given her own history. CPS has become the preferred tool for destroying families and keeping the child sex trafficking pipeline open and the foster care system is the stopping off point- a place to warehouse prospective victims. Nor is Scott and Jennifer's story unique... this is happening not only in America, but all over the world- and it's only getting worse.
