Commissioner Thomas Verge ruled Friday that Cleave and Erica [Rengo] could have their three babies back, after CPS had removed them from their home, as first reported by Health Impact News on our Medical Kidnap website.

The original story has been read by over 1.5 million people and shared on Facebook by over 1 million, creating a national outcry. It is but one of many stories we have covered at MedicalKidnap.com. We get multiple requests every day from families begging us to publish their stories of “medical kidnap.”

If we had not picked up this story and published it on behalf of the parents who requested us to do so, would they be going home today with their children?

Judge Verge, in allowing the parents to have their children back, reportedly made several conditions, threatening the young couple that their children would be removed again if they did not comply with his directives.

According to the Bellingham Herald, the judge stated he was giving the young parents “a second chance.” Seemingly admitting that there was never any question of abuse directed towards the children, the judge proceeded to lecture the young couple on how they should raise their family, ordering them to comply to such details such as:

• where they should live
• how a husband should treat his wife
• what they should feed their children
• what kind of medical treatment they are allowed to use for their children

Is this really the function of family court and government-funded social services such as Child Protection Services?

Have we now come to the point in the United States of America, that if someone doesn’t like the way we choose to raise our children, or whether or not we agree with a doctor’s directive for basic medical care, even in situations that are not life threatening, that a simple call from a neighbor or disgruntled family member will result in losing one’s child and having to fight the Family Court system in order to get them back?

Apparently so. Welcome to the new America.
