Our daughter is being unlawfully, falsely detained at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. She has edema, she is STABLE, she has no emergency. They are holding her because her picc line isn’t out before leaving here, but refusing to take it out, and then trapping us from leaving with our daughter who we need a second medical opinion for.
We have recordings over the last 11 hellish days, lying to us over and over, widening the goalposts of when she could go home, always speaking in politician-type terms, refusing to give anything concrete, but always giving longer and longer timelines of how long she would be trapped there, DESPITE being recorded over and over again for the last 4-5 days saying how she’s improving more and more every day – getting better, but always staying longer.
Update 1: They keep telling us the doctor is “coming now” multiple times for over an hour. They have now put her on a 12 hour hold as of 45 minutes ago, but not telling us what else is happening. They are leaving us in the hall to ask questions they now refuse to answer.
Update 2: They have barred us from recording anything audio or video, denying the law of one-person consent within Missouri, citing “PRIVATE property,” so that we cannot verify their corruption and child kidnapping ring into a PUBLIC system that we did not and will NEVER consent to our family being forced into.
UPDATE 3: They gave an insulting list to us of things we must do/not do, to be allowed to stay with our child. Within minutes, two nurses came in and started to drug our beautiful daughter. My husband and I stayed silent. They asked her if she was ready for the cocktail and she said no. They told her they had to, but asked what order she wanted the drugs in. She told them none, and they worked to wear her down to give them an answer that sounded like she gave consent and has bodily autonomy, but she said no again. My husband or I said, “she’s not going to consent, so whatever makes things easier for you, would be easiest on her.” Their response was snotty and rude, telling us we were “getting in the way of care.” I asked how, why? They told us we don’t tell them how to do their job (??), and then left. Within minutes, police escorted us off the premises for 24 hours. It was a setup the entire time, if we even said ANYTHING, to steal our child and force an abandonment between loving parents and child.
I know by posting this, I risk them punishing and destroying our whole family in retaliation, and yet, we need help to save her. They are trying to silence her and us from protecting her.
Please share this to your walls, to help us find people who can rescue our 10 year old daughter from this medical kidnapping nightmare, with us.
UPDATE September 11: I am so so grateful for community outpouring right now! Please don’t stop. Also, I am reading every private message. If I don’t respond to you, please know it’s just from the inability to, time or energy wise. Thank you.
Did you get your daughter back yet?
