Parents in Michigan traveled to Ann Arbor Michigan this week to protest medical kidnappings, where doctors conspire with Child Protection Services to take children away from parents based solely on a doctor’s opinion of “medical abuse.” The protest took place at the University of Michigan Board of Regents.

One of the parents who spoke out was Melissa Geers, a Michigan mother who had her 5 children removed from their home after a doctor found one of their prematurely born twins with broken ribs. A “Child Abuse Specialist,” a specialty doctor trained just to find abuse, made the diagnosis based on x-rays, and had never examined the child nor the parents. Another doctor later determined that the twins had “brittle bone” disease, and the children were eventually returned to their parents.

Melissa wrote an article for Health Impact News chronicling their ordeal here:

Michigan Family Traumatized by CPS in Medical Kidnapping of Twins

Melissa was also interviewed by the local media while protesting in Ann Arbor:

Some quotes:

My oldest is old enough to know what happened. And he was wearing his Tae Kwon Do uniform the day he was removed, and won’t go back to Tae Kwon Do. My 8-year-old runs when the doorbell rings. My 4-year-old asks me every time I leave the house if I’m coming back.

As we have documented on our Medical Kidnap site, even when children are returned to their parents after a wrongful removal by CPS, the trauma remains. The parents in Michigan were protesting a new pediatric specialty where certain pediatricians specialize in finding child abuse, usually by simply reviewing documents and not interviewing the family. Their very specialty and funding depends upon them finding abuse, often where it may not be present, failing to consider other causes of trauma that are not caused by abusive parents.

For more information on this new pediatric specialty, see the Health Impact News special report:

Are New Pediatric “Child Abuse Specialists” Causing an Increase in Medical Kidnappings?

Even the mainstream media is beginning to recognize that medical designations such as “Shaken Baby Syndrome” are responsible for putting innocent parents behind bars, and losing their children. The New York Times this week ran an investigative report:

Here is the ABC 7 report of the parent demonstration in Ann Arbor:

Well i dont know if my story has anything to do with this but thought i would share my son had had a allergic reaction to mosquitoes and i had brought him to the doctor to get confirmed the next day his dad had a visit with him and brought him to the hospital felling i lyed about bringing him to the doctors so anyways to the part that connects to your story a hospital in Grand Rapids michigan saw my son and said he had a bruise on his rib like a finger print then my ex told cps i did it so before any investigation they gave my ex full custidy of my child the cps case was closed proving that the mark was not made by me yet its still been two going on three years i have seen my son. Now the courts and cps are giving me the run around and saying they dont have a address for where my son is. I am still fighting to this day to see my son talk to my son or even know if my son is alive.

“Protesting” is usually about as effective as  woman begging her rapist not to rape her.  Why would you expect begging psychopaths to treat you a little better, to work?  You may get a token gesture from the psychopath’s in power while the public is focused on them. But as soon as they are not in the light they will go back to their criminal behavior.

The system needs to be tore down and thought out again from the ground up.

You answered your own question: “while the public is focused on them.” You protest to get the cameras rolling and local media to warn people what is going on.
