Texas CPS under fire for taking newborns over jaundice and home births.
TL;DR
A Texas couple is going to court to get their two-week-old baby back from Child Protective Services (CPS) after officials took her following a dispute with their doctor about the infant's jaundice. The couple claims the paperwork erroneously named the baby's mother as another woman, and the documents also referred to Rodney Jackson as the baby's "alleged father." The Jacksons have since visited their baby in the hospital and are expected in court on April 20.
