Episode 10: MWB on The "Medical Kidnapping" of A'mir & Aniyah

This episode of Mommying While Black™ discusses how families are being ripped apart through a phenomenon known as legalized medical kidnapping.  If you live in America, are black, and have children under the age of 18, each trip you make the an urgent care, emergency room, standard pediatric visit puts your child/children under the lens of intense scrutiny and your family the casualties of medical kidnapping i.e. Child Protective Services (CPS) taking all minors in the household.  In far more sinister and gut-wrenching cases, parental rights are severed forever through the American judicial system.  Sadly, your family could be next. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) is the leading organization for physician board certification.  As such, ABMS provides the "expertise, insights and support to elevate the discipline of specialty medicine." (https://www.abms.org/about-abms/) .  In 2006, ABMS began to recognize the subspecialty in medicine known as child abuse pediatrics. Dayton Children's Hospital. May 31, 2021. A place and date that has forever changed the lives and trajectories of four human beings--A'mir and Aniyah so new to being Earth-side and Arianna and D'rontae--newly engaged, new entrepreneurs, new first-time parents, planning for a new life in Florida...the newness is now marred with trauma, baseless allegations, and excruciating emotional turmoil. In this episode, MWB sits down with Arianna Brooks, a mother fighting the state of Ohio and CPS to regain custody of her nearly 7-month-old twins, A'mir and Aniyah.  The twins were merely 2-months-old when both children were removed from the custody of Arianna and her husband, D'rontae.  This is the most heartbreaking story of a young entrepreneurial mother and father desperately exhausting all resources--financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically to regain care, custody and control of their newborn babies. A GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for Arianna and D'rontae to retain competent, dedicated, and fearless medical experts to challenge CPS and the child abuse pediatrician's claim of physical abuse inflicted upon A'mir and Aniyah at the hands of their parents.  Please share their story and donate.  No donation is too small.  The family has a goal of $10,000 and are at $5,162.  Let's help them get there so they can bring their twins H O M E.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/3jsfq-please-help-reunite-this-family Listen as MWB gets into this raw discussion with Arianna (IG @forever_the_same_ari). #JusticeForAmir #JusticeForAniyah #JusticeForAmirandAniyah #BringOurBabiesHome Mommying While Black  IG @mommyingwhileblk
