An Alabama group is alleging that a young rape victim who chose life for her son experienced another traumatic situation this week when government workers took the newborn away from her.
According to Terri LaPoint, a writer for Health Impact News who witnessed the situation, the 14-year-old girl allegedly was raped by a 19-year-old and became pregnant. The unnamed girl chose life for her son and gave birth to him on Monday in Alabaster, Alabama.
The 14-year-old received several visits from the hospital social worker after her son was born; and on Wednesday, LaPoint said government officials from the state Department of Human Resources came and took away the baby boy.
LaPoint observed that both the young mother and her son were healthy, and neither exhibited signs of abuse. The mother does not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, LaPoint added. According to the report, the DHR officials told the family that there were safety concerns, but they would not say any more.
The report from Health Impact News has not been verified or reported in the mainstream media but, if true, is extremely troubling.
According to the report:
We were told by Jamilia, the hospital social worker, that DHR was notified after the babys birth. When grandmother Dee Prince asked why they were called, she was told that this was protocol. Months ago, when the mother reported the rape to the police, the police notified DHR, citing policy, because the rape victim was a minor. Jamilia assured us that this was different than the part of DHR that takes children away from parents, and that this was just a procedural thing that they had to be notified of the birth, and that after the DHR social worker stopped by to visit, the family could go home.
There was no court order, no warrant, and no sign of imminent (or any other) danger, yet hospital social worker Jamilia literally ripped 51 hour-old Braelon from his mothers arms right after he finished breastfeeding, under the direction of DHR supervisor Ahzshaka Evans, with the approval of 3 Alabaster police officers, led by shift supervisor Officer Edmunson, Detective Raugh, 2 security personnel, and hospital Director of Risk Management/Compliance Ashley Cole-Tyson.

By all accounts of the nursing and medical staff, the young mother was doing an amazing job of mothering her baby son Braelon. She loves and adores her baby. Even though he was conceived in rape, it is clear that this is HER baby.
Later, the young mother and her twin brother, who both live with their grandparents, also were taken away by government officials, the report states. LaPoint said the young mother was then allowed to see her newborn son. The report is not clear about whether the 14-year-old had her son returned to her or whether she merely was allowed to visit him.
According to the report, the 14-year-old planned to raise her baby with her grandparents, who have custody of her and her siblings.
A hearing is scheduled for Friday.
Juda Myers from the pro-life group Choices4Life, which provides support to women and babies conceived in rape, also was involved in the situation, according to the report. Myers called the 14-year-old a hero mom because she made the brave decision to parent her son, despite the trauma and abuse she experienced during his conception.
Rape victims who become pregnant often face societal pressures to have abortions. In 2014, rape victim Analyn Megison wrote for LifeNews how people look at her in horror when they learn that her daughter was conceived in rape. She said they often view her daughter as a product of rape, rather than a valuable human being.
My basic human rights were violated when I was raped during his violent attack years ago as I plead for my dignity and humanity, but I think that one of the things I am still having to advocate for is the basic human rights of my child, and other innocent children like mine, Megison wrote. Not only am I not an object for use by a rapist, but my child is also not to be reduced to a mere product of a violent criminal act simply because of how her conception took place.

Adoption to a two parent stable home would always be preferable
Why are the parents not raising there children
So give us some do able examples. Your hear say is merely vicious gossip
Bureaucrats, leeches, and cockroaches are all part of the same family in the animal kingdom.
Sounds like the rape was by her older boy friend. They reported to DHR . You don’t know if anything further has been done The story is silent on that
One should consider first the welfare of the new born
Children do best in a two parent household
This 14 wouldn’t be raising the child it’s great grandparents would be
WTH? Really? Well, I've "heard" of people that say nasty made-up crap like that who are full of...well, you can guess. I'm from Alabama, I'm in Alabama right now, and I'll tell you...the real problem is that the state, excuse me, "Southern Government", would be too reluctant to remove the child from the mother, rather than grab it. If they moved that quickly, then there's something nasty going on. Oh, and take your hateful, lying, bigoted, anti-Southern crap and shove it where your "brain" apparently resides. And, of course, "bless your heart, dear"....
“I have heard of southern governments taking babies like that and giving them to rich parents.”
Oh, really? “Southern Governments”? Aren’t we the Anti-Southern bigot?
Your post was so backward and uneducated that I’m honestly embarrassed for you.

Good job, well said! The ignorance of Anti-Southern bigots is astounding. They are backward and don’t realize that it’s 2016.
As you said, “bless her heart”:)

Maybe they are going to let the baby lay on a table until it dies.
Depends on the situation with her parents. If there are parents in the house and it is a relatively normal situation, absolutely not.
If it were a Muslim baby there would be no investigation or stealing her child to put it up for adoption. Reminds me of some adoption schemes where the hospital would sedate the mother, take her baby and when she woke up, tell her that it was stillborn or died, then sell the baby for $10,000 or more.
I have a 2nd cousin who was raped at the age of 16 and impregnated. She did not abort, but raised her daughter by herself. It pretty much ruined her life in a way. She relied on social services, food stamps and part time jobs. Never married, But she was a fantastic mom.
Her daughter is now 23 and just finished her first year as a third grade teacher. I’m quite proud of my cousin.
BTTT
I know that Elizabeth, Mary’s cousin was considerably older when pregnant with John(based on her husband’s age) but I’ve not seen any math or proof that Mary was 14....only suppositions based on averages of espousal age based on historical traditions and any records available.
I think human services was out of bounds and can be out of bounds. Something strange is going on for sure. The uncle of the girl is on that FB page and got the news involved.
Either way, human services never had any judicial / legal form presented. This girl was victimized twice. But it sounds like she’s with the child. Unfortunately in a shelter which is far from desirable.
There was no court order, no warrant, and no sign of imminent (or any other) danger, yet hospital social worker Jamilia literally ripped 51 hour-old Braelon from his mothers arms right after he finished breastfeeding,
NO warrent... and more it seems gov’t does at it pleases. When this high handed nonsense is attempted with me someone had better have their affairs in order.
I would have considered your comment absurdly implausible until I watched the Planned Parenthood videos. Now I know that people really are that greedy and cold-hearted.
