2 Children Awarded $1.1M From Medical Kidnap Case

Two children removed from their home in San Diego by county social workers will receive more than a million dollars as part of a settlement deal. The two children were apparently injured at a daycare center, and when a doctor reported the daycare center, social workers showed up at the home instead and abducted the children, performing their own physical exam of the children without parental approval. A judge ruled taking the children away was unconstitutional since a call to the day care would have confirmed the injuries happened there. The county's physical exam of the two children was also deemed unconstitutional and the consent forms inadequate.
