Do you think she realizes that if someone kidnapped her baby, wrote up this fake birth certificate and then claimed the baby was their own, they have exactly as much recorded evidence for their parentage as she does? If that was all the credibility one needed, babies could be human trafficked to other countries, sold and then claimed as their trafficker's own with a single handmade piece of paper. It would take a court ordered genetic test to resolve any question of their legal parentage if challenged until they become an adult. In what world does she think that that is even a good idea, let alone the reality?
Imagine how "wild" that birth would have gone if she'd have encountered any complications. These idiots don't think about the fact that they are not only taking chances with their child's life, but also their own.
One of the worst nightmares I've ever had was waking up from a dream about me bleeding out from something, and I just remember hearing myself say "i've made a huge mistake" in Will Arnett's voice.
That's what this lady was chancing, dying with her child stuck inside of her while bleeding out on her bathroom floor.
Unassisted births is a crunchy mom thing that was popular in the early aughts. It was terrible and many babies did very badly. All you need is to aspirate on a little meconium on the way out and you can be dead as a doornail on delivery.
I think its coming back because it's so expensive to give birth in the states that "choosing" to have an unassisted birth (choosing in quotation marks because the options are medically assisted birth and crushing debt, or unassisted) is coming back in vogue.
Aside from the private person sovcit people, I think it's people who don't have a ton of agency over their circumstances trying to exercise control over the birth of their child.
About 1 in 10 babies need some degree of resuscitation though. Risky gamble. I do feel for the parents too, that this choice is more appealing despite the potential dangers. ESPECIALLY with no medical assistance during pregnancy too- are we breach? Are we placenta previa? Are there multips?!
It’s super popular now. And then what happens is, if they do decide to go to the hospital, it’s super late to do anything. The baby is either already dead or has HIE (brain damage from lack of oxygen). It literally happens in a couple minutes and can happen if you’re already admitted and on the delivery floor, let alone at home or in the freakin woods. THEN what happens is whatever poor outcome is the result of their choices is now counted towards the hospital as having X number of deaths or whatever and they they cycle that info through their groups as, “See, this is why you don’t go to the hospital.”
As a social worker, this is 100% something that would get CPS involved then they’d continue to stay involved for the many, many things I’m sure they’d uncover. Medical neglect is the first major thing that is an easy way for them to open a case (some things take a ton of proof but this is pretty cut and dry). Also, you can get in serious trouble for not registering a baby in the US within a certain time frame. Hope someone called CPS on her. Wild.
I really hope so, thankfully her family was very concerned and I'm hoping they made the call. I think right wing extremists are so dangerous to their children and I'm hoping CPS begins to be more insistent on removing these poor kids.
They do as long as they have enough evidence to back up their request to remove the children. The problem is, there are a ton of really messed up things and emotional abuse but emotional abuse is one of the hardest things to prove. So people get mad that children haven’t been removed but don’t understand that it’s really hard to do. Things like physical abuse are easy for removal cause there’s usually obvious signs once an investigation has taken place. I don’t work for CPS but adjacent to them- any children they remove are referred to my agency where we do the follow up mental health treatment and visits for the family.
Damn, I just feel so sorry for the kids with parents like these. I mean, even if the kid doesn't suffer and die due to medical neglect, what kind of life are they going to have? Can they even go to school without a birth certificate? Get any type of ID? Get a job? A driver's license? How would it even work in practice? Officially this kid wouldn't even exist, right?
Sure, they can be entertaining but I mostly find people so out of touch with societal norms sad.
They don't want to comply with the legal system, I can sympathise, most people are little more than tax cattle in the eyes of their rulers. They are misguided and maybe some of them are really stupid, laws are not enforced by arguing about your rights. Life is unfair, I think most of them are looking for a way out of that.
Wait, what the fuck is the conspiracy with midwives and sovcits now?! “Mid (med) wife?” Is that some shit about them breaking down the term to say that the deep state is somehow secretly marrying their child off to this stranger or some insane shit? i can only imagine.
OP, you’re basically the sovcit whisperer. What’s the scoop
It was one of the claims of the free birth movement in the early aughts, that midwives were secretly trying to force you into not allowing natural birth.
It's SO bad. My friend who is a world class fact checker and disinformation expert says that she thinks the free birth movement was one of the earliest Russian disinformation campaigns, and I tend to agree.
Can someone ask one of these fine folks which enforcement branch ensures their rights are respected so this isn't all just a display of mental illness?
I don't know if you spotted it but she doesn't realise that in real life, people can take shit they don't own, especially the ones with state backing like the police
