You can clearly hear me in the video begging to see my baby and all the staff just ignored us both as if we were nothing more than caged laboratory animals for them to violate as they wish.

After the surgery, they refused to allow us to see or hold our newborn or even let me do skin-to-skin. We were not allowed to see her until we got back in the recovery room after the surgery and it wasn’t more than 10-15 minutes later that the DCF worker was in the room interrogating us telling us that she was probably going to take our child. 

During our stay in this hospital, the staff refused to allow me to have my prescribed medications until I became very physically sick, called us derogatory names, lied about us in their reports, refused to allow us to spend time with our newborn or even leave our room.

Then they took her from us claiming we “refused to cooperate in her care at discharge” because we had no pediatrician appointment set up in Connecticut since we live in another state (even though we told them we would be willing to stay in Connecticut at a hotel to take her where ever they wanted us too.) None of it was good enough they just had every intent from the start of illegally taking our daughter and violating our civil rights.
