When I gave birth, my baby refused to nurse the entire time we were at the hospital, but the nurses kept saying she didn't need to eat because her blood sugar was fine. This lasted for 3 days! Hospitals need to be held more accountable for their mistakes/neglect.
I breast fed my baby, and the nurses said colostrum is all they need for the first few days, because it takes a few days for a woman's milk to srop...this is horrific!
There are probono (free) lawyers they will glady sue the doctors hospital etc. @@MeizenRedLeo they exist. I am one im just in a different state and cant travel to anyone.
I looked into this the lawyer told me unless another doctor would say specifically that the other doctor neglected the patient then chances were slim to none of winning, the lawyer actually advised me to go out of state because doctors in my area were all on the same payroll basically (when a doctor gives you a referral for another doctor the entire hospital is basically unreliable and won't testify). Doctors have it made basically untouchable because they all have each others backs... Even if they are at fault...
This is so despicable but unfortunately absolutely true I'm so many cases. I wouldn't necessarily go out of state but I know from personal experience I had to go outside my county in order to find a second opinion from a doctor and a lawyer that would take my case. I'm sorry you had to go through that and I hope and pray things are better for you now. I hate it that these doctors wanna play God with peoples.lives but when they are wrong they play innocent if something goes good they want all the praises and all the glory and worship but when they make a mistake or lose a patient because they messed up misdiagnosed or were negligent they take no responsibility or what little they do take is eaten up by other attorneys fees..
I went to school with her, she's still local to me. She's a great mother. I feel so bad for her. Aberdeen hospital and seamar are a joke. She needs to sue I had so many medical issues caused by them when I went there to give birth. Gotta be the worst hospital in the state. They assume every one is a drug addict and treat people like shit. Beyond unprofessional
If the father had the same condition, why didnt that goofball take the child to the hospital himself and tell them to check his offspring for it???? Are people not Intune with their children after giving them their genetics????
@@Jules1990xxAberdeen Maryland hospital is terrible BUT you have Maryland university and Johns Hopkins right down 95. I’m sorry but not buying their story. These “lie” detector tests are so unbelievably unreliable. There has been so many cases on Steve that they passed the test but were literally charged later on or admitted guilt.
@@danieldaniel-bb3sgThey took the child up there multiple times. The doctors just didn’t do shit. Don’t blame the parents for the failings of the healthcare system
My youngest son wasn't gaining weight the way I felt he should. Come to find out, he was severely tongue-tied. He had to go to a pediatric plastic surgeon to have it remedied. As soon as the procedure was complete, he started to gain weight and thrive. He's now in his 30's. Love all my children.
When you raise your tongue, that piece of skin that holds it to the bottom of your mouth grew the whole length of his tongue and a little over the tip. He couldn't get suction on me or a bottle to get the milk out. Plus, he had the same problem as me. He was allergic to milk,lactades, and soy milk. Once they cut and coterized the skin under his tongue, he had the ability to suckle correctly. I ended up putting him on diluted goats milk.
I'm just curious, does that mean he was also allergic to your milk? If you breastfed, that is. As someone lactose intolerant but who was bottle-fed (my mother is not intolerant but calcium deficiency made her unable to produce enough), I'm very curious.
@Iamzakusgirl I actually was able to breastfeed but dried up since he couldn't nurse correctly. I'm allergic to milk, ice cream, and chocolate but can eat yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese. These are what helped me to produce milk for all my children. My youngest son was the only child who was the same as me. The goat's milk helped him to be able to drink whole milk after 2&1/2 years. Unfortunately, he, in his 30s, is becoming sensitive to it again. I'm still allergic and always will be.
Susan As a baby I was not able to eat lactose ended up having to have goat milk Couldn't gain weight Later in life I ended up with a colonostomy I had diverticulitis and got really sick enough to be hospitalized for weight loss I'm.on new meds and have finally gotten some weight back but there are a lot of gastric disorders and illnesses babies get I don't know if she starved this baby but in all fairness..there's other reasons for babies not to thrive besides not feeding
This story was both heartbreaking and infuriating. We’ve been fooled before, thinking someone was innocent and it turns out they were guilty. But with this story, I had a feeling they were telling the truth. We’ve also seen em pass, but still be negligent. However in this case, the fact that the HOSPITALS & DOCTORS didn’t listen/take her seriously.. everything that happened (and lack thereof) prior to finally getting a diagnosis & getting someone to truly listen.. was so devastating. It’s one thing for the justice system to be f’d up, but when it’s hospitals and doctors, that’s equally as (if not more) f’d up. I understand protecting children & taking action, but the fact that they didn’t even TRY to help this woman & her child.. that they immediately were so quick/ready to take the child away and deem her unfit. Doctors & hospitals like that need their license revoked. I’m so glad they passed. I’m not going to judge them on how many children they have, because at the end of the day it’s not about that… yes they struggled, but the only thing that matters is they/their son were failed repeatedly by numerous people. The only ones responsible for almost costing this child his life, are the negligent docs & hospitals.
Did u look at the case of Welch and fusari these guys didn’t kill there child but the case of Seth Welch and Mellissa Fusari the docs and hospital should do better
As someone that doesn't live in America I just feel that their health system let's people down and way to often pointing the finger at innocent people. The specialist and hospital involves should be prosecuted
Our healthcare system is trash to begin with, even with good insurance that cost and arm and a leg. But things become so much worse when race is factored in. It's not touched on in this show but for non white people the chances of having a negative experience with our healthcare system skyrocket. And if you factor in both race and gender, the chances of a woman not being believed go up even more. It's a deeply systemic and historical issue that most people barely know about because no one talks about it.
It absolutely does. There are huge percentages of us that don't have insurance and grew up without medical assistance and have a plethora of illnesses and injuries that have never been addressed. Even a lot of the children in our country with insurance get minimal Health Care at best and are forced to live life with chronic illnesses and injuries with little to no help whatsoever
I wouldn't say it's often. Out of how many people the treat, and how many stories there are, it's not common. Don't get me wrong, doctors and nurses can be wrong and also negligent, but I would still trust a doctor more than a Karen who doesn't believe in Science/Medicine. You also have to push enough and even going to a different doctor
My child can’t heal due to the late diagnosis. They should have listened when I begged for help…. But no. It was all about a paycheck to them… the sicker he got, the more often I showed up. They did not care that he was dying. We are going to see if removing his tonsils and adenoids helps at all with his eating difficulties…. But they said already it was a very slim chance.
Damn man , this segment was very sad to watch . I felt tears coming out of my eyes . And I hope the people at that hospital got fired for ignoring the concerns of the parents about what’s going on with their son . It’s clear they don’t know how to do their jobs . Hopefully the young boy will overcome the challenges he’s facing . If I were them, I’d sue the entire hospital .
They were not fired. As a matter a fact, nothing was done. Because we ran out of time… they will keep killing babies and getting them to point my son was and go on without a scratch. Why? Because medical professionals are damn near untouchable. This was Lewis county, clinic name was chehalis children’s clinic, 2 hospitals involved with criminalizing me and my husband plus taking our youngest child is Joyce Gilbert who works at St. Peter’s hospital in thurston county and then the other hospital is centralia providence hospital and he seen a few different drs there. Mary bridge children’s hospital even said since his PKU came back that they thought he was fine. So anger is a understatement. :(
He’s much better. Still randomly gets sick and it’s hard…. His diet is hard to manage because almost everything poses a threat. He can’t eat regular fruits like you and I , he has to eat completely dried fruits, veggies ect. No soups even if he’s sick , it’s just really hard….. and now he will never out grow it thanks to the late diagnosis:( my heart hurts for my baby boy… he’s 5 now. I have 6 special needs children, and his diagnosis is by far the hardest to manage. And I have 3 that are epileptic so that says a lot.
They said it’s out of their jurisdiction because we are past the statute to limitations …. Our souls are crushed…. Our lives, ruined. Only good thing is we have our kids…
im a Disabled person with congenital disabilties, who lives in florida. stories like this are sadly extremely common. ableism within family services is so devastating...
My daughter was 2months early but because of her size, they just assumed she was full term. She weighed 7lb 2oz when she was born. I had a C-section so we were in the hospital for a few days. The night after I got home with her, I took her to the ER and my doctor checked her out and she was in the hospital for 4 months. My doctor called the doctor that was supposed to be taking care of her and told him that he was a shitty doctor and she almost died. She's 20 yrs old now and has a gorgeous baby boy.
This is how we’ve been treated for every second of every day. Even after getting his diagnosis, thanks to those drs …. I have X-rays that proves the condition and everything:( they all got away with trying to kill my son. Not helping is the same as signing his death sentence…. And my baby was at deaths door step so I’d say they definitely tried to kill him.
I guarantee because she was a young Mum they brushed her concerns aside like in many cases not taking into account that she was already a Mum to 3 before him! It's disgusting that in this day and age this is still happening! Shame on all those Drs and nurses!
That’s exactly how I was treated. I’m the mom by the way! Yes the drs think if your not older than 30 than your a over anxious and paranoid child. Even when something is legitimately wrong…
The update for the second story (full episode) had me in tears.. I wish the best for Richard and his daughter. I understand times are hard for them now, but I hope in the future Royal is able to get some therapy for the trauma she’s been through. For Steve to not only send her birthday gifts, but to help them out financially, even if it’s only a little.. was very sweet.
She's a wonderful mama Steve you were harsh on her regardless of how many children she has she got fixed so sad that no one listed to them an two years 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 omg
I don't think it was that harsh. Why have kids you can't afford? Having kids is often a choice for a lot of people and there are many ways now you can prevent them outside birth control. Deciding to have kids when your low income is selfish
@@helpkelp3595 She's married, married couples have sex and know the consequence of getting pregnant. Maybe she didnt wanna terminate her children and instead decided to take care of them, I see nothing wrong with a strong woman taking accountability. It was harsh of him basically to judge her because she has 6 kids.
I have 6 kids yes. Every one of them is special needs yes. But nobody but me has a right to my body. My son was born with pharyngeal dysphasia. I did not want to terminate because I was blessed. I was told I was sterile. God gave me a gift of life and I sure kept up my end and let them be born. It is not my fault they were born special, god just knew I was strong enough to fight for them and their health. Does it get hard? Being a parent is HARD. And if it’s not, your doing it wrong. But to be charged and accused of attempted murder just because your child was born differently than others….. well that’s not okay. I’ll out them all by name if I have to. They tried to kill my son. They made me wish I wasn’t African American BECAUSE BEING THIS RACE IS WHY THEY REFUSED TO HELP US. I know now after finding god that he blessed me. Sure it was hard, I’m still battling the ptsd. But this made me strong. We own our home now, we are in a amazing community that helps us. Lewis county wa and thurston county wa dcyf has some questions to answer, but they won’t. Because they think they are innocent. My son was court ordered to return home and they still withheld him from us. We missed 2 years of mile stones INCLUDING his second birthday… until you’ve dealt with racist dcyf workers, please don’t assume.
@@nanzzwhatever96106 kids when she's low income and barely more than a child herself; it's irresponsible no matter how much she loves her kids. She can love them to the moon and back; it's still irresponsible.
This story really touched me because I went through the same situation with my son, he was 29 weeks preemie. He would not gain weight, I took him to specialist and his skin would peel. The doctors did nothing, they're quick to blame the parents instead of running test and finding out what's wrong. This is all too familiar.
Was it really necessary for Steve to go on his moral high ground about the amount of children she has, she doesn’t need to explain her life choices to you on national tv when she’s here to clear her name after being accused of one of the worst things a parent can be accused of.
Yes because her excuse to not taking the baby to a different hospital was because they were low income yet at the time have 4 kids and now 6 which is irresponsible and selfish because how can you afford them all
@@helpkelp3595but what does that have to do with her ? the condom is the man’s job and 9 times out of 10 a man doesn’t want to wear one . condoms can even break or cause a pregnancy as well so I mean nothing is ever certain and 100% when it comes to protection
Sue those doctors, at the very least for any upcoming surgery that may be warranted because of their negligence in not giving this boy a chance to outgrow his condition. Please!
We did the surgery… 10% or less rate for this to cure and we actually managed to have god on our side… he beat all the odds once again. However … those drs and dcyf got away with everything. They made sure we ran out of time with the statute to limitations. :( no justice for my children …
I had a doctor that wouldnt listen to me when i told him my son which was a new born at the time was pooping way too much. He checked his diaper and said no thats what it was suppose to look like. My babys butt was bleeding from pooping so much. Me and my mom just changed his formula on own own and he got better. Hes lactose intolerant like his older sister and still is to this day and hes going to be 3 this year. His sister grew out of it but he didnt. Sometimes doctor's wont listen and think they know more about your child than you do. My son is my 5th child so i knew it wasnt normal.
@@annettesvensson-ps3sd Even if they are reported, it's usually swept under the rug because of their status. A pediatrician from my town assaulted over 31 children since the 1980s and he was recently arrested. They KNEW about it since the 80s and FINALLY decided to do something about it.
The Doctors and whom ever was the child abuse case worker, should be held accountable for what this family has gone through in regards to the child's health!😡 Can they be sued for that???
This same situation (without foster care part) happened to me ! After complaining to my child’s original doctor, time and time again about my child not eating or in pain after eating along with excessive vomiting etc My daughter almost died !!! And they were trying to accuse me of neglect…after flying my child to childrens national hospital in DC come to find out my daughter was allergic to cows milk/dairy !
Gloria is my neice and she always seemed like a good mom. I've mostly talked to her over the phone, though, since I've lived out of state most of her life, but she was always a sweet kid. The health care system has failed so many times, and it's just sad. Including my sister, who had a disability. The hospital failed time after time and blamed my mom so they got social services involved and then when my mom went after them they said she could have my sister back if she agreed to not press charges and sue... Of course, she agreed because my sister is what really mattered. The system is soo messed up.
My sister Morgan only knows vaguely about My kids as to right before our mom passed away and she knows for a fact I would NEVER sell them to men EVER that’s sick I was hurt as a child so I know how it destroys you emotionally as a person so NO I would never hurt my kids ever the lying needs to stop !!! Those who see only what she says he says need to get a life cause I as a mom was not perfect I grew and learned my mom was a great mom she did everything to guide me to do better as days went by with each passing day that being said there’s parents who pretend they’ve never made a mistake and those who can own it I know mine I don’t hide behind it but I won’t admit to lies told and Gloria knows how much she’s a liar she won’t change cause nobody holds her accountable for her actions so she continues to lie and hurt the ones who were there and who loved her through good or bad times my point is ppl can say anything about me they want to they weren’t here or there before or now so nobody knows the truth but Gloria and Myself !!!
And that is exactly what CPS is known for harassing innocent parents and taking their children for no reason, while letting other kids that are knowingly being abused stay in homes until their found dead it's sick!!!!!
This is very common that hospitals blame parents for their minor children illness and say it’s neglect then press charges on the parents . I remember seeing a documentary on Netflix about it . John Hopkins hospital specifically is known for this also but it’s tons that do it. Charges are never pressed against the doctors or the hospital and it’s sick that you can’t even trust those people when it comes to a medical emergency.
Unfortunately we don’t …. Time ran out. Nobody would donate to the gofundme so those drs got away with attempting to murder my son and cps got away with medical kidnapping… I prayed for years and still nothing happened 😭 now I see them in public all happy and it kills me that nobody knows the evils they do.
They definitely have a malpractice lawsuit on their hands. Most definitely. The hospital records and all that testimony will get them financial justice.
It didn’t though :( we ran out of time thanks to the constant pushing out court dates. Our attorneys didn’t even fight for us. We were left to fend for ourselves pretty much WHILE having attorneys. Katherine Gulmert is the best attorney I’ve ever worked with aside from Sharonda Amamilo . Both Lewis and thurston county based. This took place in Lewis County and transferred to thurston :(
I agree with Steve about her struggling and still making kids. But the WAY he had that conversation with her (and the crowd applauding his remark) was sad....knowing fully well they went there to talk about their almost starving baby and trying to prove themselves innocent
When I had my last baby, he couldn't keep down, and he kept losing weight. The doctor and clinic nurse didn't appear to have any concerns. I was worried senseless, but they wouldn't investigate what was happening with him. After telling my Nana what was happening, she told me what to do, the doctor and nurse were horrified with her advice. But I chose to listen to Nana, and my baby started to thrive. Thank all the gods for my Nana, if I'd listened to the doctor and nurse, my baby would probably be dead😢❤
@Outnumberedbykidsandcats you mean Nana. First she put my baby on a formula consistent of carnation milk, sugar and water. After that she told me to give him a bottle of warm water so as not to constipate him.Then she told me to give him a dose of a concoction that her mother made for her babies, and then she told mr to bath him after each feed to sooth his tummy. Finally she told me to cuddle my baby in bed with me, skin to skin. The mixture of carnation milk freaked them out, as did the rest of her advice. But she was right, and thank all the gods that I listened to her.....sometimes the old remedies are the best
@@Unicornslive lol yeah I typed nanas so not sure why it changed it. I know that it might not be recommended but my mum was fed carnation milk as a baby too. She was adopted and was unwell with normal formula so she had carnation milk and thrived. As a midwife I can tell you that we recommend skin to skin for almost everything as it’s very beneficial and not just for bonding. Studies have shown that if a baby is cold then the mother’s core temperature will actually increase to warm the baby and if the baby is too hot, then mums temperature will actually reduce to cool the baby. I had a very colicky baby with my second and I used to have to massage his tummy and bath him a lot to help him. Even though co sleeping isn’t supposed to be advised, it actually can be beneficial as long as neither parent drink, smoke or take any medication that may make them sleepy and as long as neither are over tired. Obviously shouldn’t use loose covers or have a very hot room. There are some studies to show that co sleeping mums are more in tune with their babies breathing etc and are more responsive to them in the night - especially for breastfed babies. Apart from the carnation milk then all the advice actually sounds pretty good.
I hate to text this but I'm a 61 year old black woman and I just learned 5 years a go that women of color are more likely to Die from childbirth, Let along having a special need child !!!! My heart goes out to Any family that something like this Happing too !!
As a Hispanic woman with special needs kids... I agree. They treated me like a rabid dog... while giving birth and throughout the years. If only I recorded them.....
You're right. All mothers, especially those of color, should always have a doula or someone to advocate on their behalf while in labor. Look into having a midwife if possible and give birth at home!! Where you're comfortable and in control. Thank you for touching on this topic. Everybody should know these facts!
My son have level 3 autism and CDLS, and he would never eat solids and finally he’s doctor told us to stop supplementing so much liquid nutrition, only give him 1 bottle of pediasure a day spanned out across the day, because “he will eat when he is hungry”. They told us to come back in 30 days (keep in mind that he was receiving feeding therapy we had been trying to get this addressed for a WHILE by then), and then when he came back to the follow up, he was underweight, and she immediately changed her mind and told us to immediately begin supplementing again. He was 2 at that point, he is 6 now and is JUST beginning to eat solid foods, despite seeing 14 specialists and multiple therapists including feeding therapy, nutritionist, GI, and developmental pediatrics. Unfortunately pediatricians can be great at something’s, but not at speciality things, and sometimes you get doctors who don’t like to acknowledge that problems are out of their area of expertise, so they minimize the problem.
They seem like a very sweet couple and the only child they took was the baby and at the time she had 3 other kids. They must have had 2 more after that because she now has 6. Anyway, if they really thought they did this, they would have taken their other kids but they didn't which shows that they aren't abusive parents.
Thank you. I’m the momma here , and that’s my boy… they only managed to get one because even the judge was baffled as to why only one of my kids looked starved. I never had issues getting a Dr to listen in Oregon is why. Each of my kids suffer GI issues. I tried to get the clinic and the hospitals to listen… they didn’t. This all happened because Lewis county is racist. Chehalis children’s clinic (their top Dr) was trying to kill my son and pin it on my family…. Dcyf can say what they want. I took the plea bargain because my pride wasn’t worth losing my kids. They would have rigged trial and stole them all…. I did what I did to protect my children.
Was so irritated with Steve questioning her about her kids. Every time she tried to explain herself he cut her off and dismissed her. What a woman decides to do with her womb is only the business of her and her husband. She didnt complain about her six kids so why is he. Children need the basics, as long as they have that and the love of a family they will strive just as well if not more than a child in a mansion. I would've respectfully shut him down instantly. My children are a blessing let's get back to the case on hand
He shut down her excuses. It's all of our business when she's receiving govt benefits, living in low income housing, and subjecting these children to being one of 6 siblings with little to know money. She made her decisions in life, people are allowed to disagree. She had no good answers because there are none. Why on earth you felt the need to justify such irresponsible behavior is beyond me. Having a child is one of the most important decisions a person can make. It's much deeper than "it's her womb and nobody's business." You don't get to make terrible decisions, then tell people their not allowed to say call you out on them, esp when they involve helpless babies
@@NeeNee_B. The entitlement of this country is beyond me. NO, it's not YOUR business and it's no His. U would still be paying those same taxes even if she had no kids. The only business u have is in the voting booth. To think her personal life choices need to be explained to someone as irrelevant as you is comically outrageous. Take that energy and fix the issues in ur own life. For the way those doctors neglected that poor baby to the point he almost lost his life and the crucial bonding time she will never get back because they wrongfully accused her due to the doctors neglect she is owed far more money than some food stamps so please have a tall glass of S+fu and go clean the dirt in ur own house.
@@NeeNee_B. to all of our knowledge we do not know if she uses govt benefits, thats ignorant to say. She owns her home and she is married and as far as we are concerned she took good care of all of her children and the only reason the last child was malnourished was because of the doctors fault. not hers. It is most definitely none of our business what she chooses to do with her womb. You call her standing up and fighting for her children "terrible decisions" ? thats sad.
@@nanzzwhatever9610your right. We didn’t have state assistance. Barely even qualified for state insurance and it is crap. We had to pay out of pocket for everything we owned and needed to eat. This had nothing to do with that however, I can’t drive due to my eyes. I can’t see the signs too well and don’t feel comfortable risking my life or anyone else’s. The drs where I lived were not doing crap. Any others are hours away. Only way I could actually get my son to a proper dr was for my husband to drive us and that’s if his dumb boss would have let him off without constant threats to fire him. At one point my husband didn’t care and we had his boss blowing us up the entire time we were at the hospital and freaking out the whole time. My sons condition is Pharyngeal Dysphasia. Very deadly to anyone really but for a infant who can’t say why they are choking every time I fed him… it’s difficult to get diagnosed… however that’s not even why they didn’t diagnose him. The dr at that clinic and the providence hospital in centralia were all racist. I had 1 nice nurse and she straight up told me I’d get nowhere with the drs there and said sorry. My sons condition requires a specialist, which means I need a referral. Nobody was willing to give me that ….. so no. None of this had to do with me being on state assistance or anything like that. My husband worked construction and was hardly home. So the drs took advantage of me as a young mom of 4 at the time.
@@gloriapirtle9671 I am so sorry to hear that from you, I hope you've changed doctors and your baby boy is healthy now. Shame on the doctors for not helping you with your child when it's their job. From what I've seen and heard, you are a great momma ! Do what you know is best, and I'll pray for you and your beautiful family.
You know when parents are really beating and starving their children dcs keeps their children with them in a terrible situation. Then you have good parents who love and care for their children and social services take the child away. They need to get it together.
Why couldn't CPS or the other hospital who called CPS, request the previous medical records showing all their visits to the doctor and that they kept sending them home?
I'm a nurse and can't always trust healthcare providers at times. First baby I told them please just get a bottle formula for my baby, the nurse said no if I'm going to attempt breastfeeding. I was crying snd trying to feed my baby. My 3rd baby, being a nurse at that time, I told them, nope just get me a bottle asap and I will decide when I want to start breastfeeding.
They should sue every single one of those people for neglect since they have proof that they were pushed away and didn't do any harm to their son. I'm so sorry they had to go through that and also she should get that off her record.
That’s because they don’t care if we die. We are colored , beneath them in their eyes …. I’m the mom in this episode, and there’s so many things I wanted to say but they said I’m not allowed to say on air. Like the clinic name, name drop the social workers and that abuse specialist and her link to the hospital, there’s SO MUCH
>> My husband’s and my firstborn was neglected like this. Full-term, wouldn’t latch, couldn’t keep food down. For three months, our pediatrician (my childhood pediatrician) thought we were lying or exaggerating and wrote us off as just young parents. Once he saw our son was losing weight, at three months old, he deemed him “failure to thrive” and sent us directly to emergency surgery. Our boy was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis, which the doctor shrugged off bc typically it’s found in white, blue-eyed babies, and our son is Black. The surgeon said it was the worst case she’d ever seen. While I’m glad our case was resolved quicker and with zero police/CPS presence, I hate that good parents and innocent babies have to go through this, have to be ignored until the worst comes.
I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this :( my boy has pharyngeal dysphasia. I have a daughter who also has it and it sucks. Having my 3 year old checked out too because he’s had issues since birth with drinks AND foods. Our babies should not get to near death before anyone decides they should listen. I’m the mom in the episode here and I’m still battling all these issues with my child and other children … nobody helped with gofundme or anything so all those drs and cps workers got off without even a wrist slap…. My children have no justice. My husband and I are made to look and feel like criminals….. we feel defeated. Steve didn’t know the results before we went on the show, poor guy was tossed to the wolves. He came off very sexist however and that pissed me off but he thought we were guilty. Everyone did and some still do since they couldn’t ever begin to understand the concept of what prematurity can do to a baby

I knew she was telling the truth....if she was truly a monster, it would show with the other five kids...plus i know how damn piss poor hospitals can be...
I’m the mom in the video here. Video is cut short and doesn’t seem to say his condition, he was not diagnosed until 2 years old when returned to us because the judge FORCED cps to give him back. Pharyngeal dysphasia. Very deadly to babies … :( nobody would listen and STILL nobody listens…
Wow. Truly awful. The system will always be broken, but it can’t ever be perfect. It’s really unfortunate. Love you guys. Have a great and amazing life!
How horrible that the first most important years of attatchment building were ripped away from him. He will certainly have issues from this in the future, no doubt, and unfortunately I doubt they nor he will be compensated by CPS,
@@AmusedBabyOctopus-bq8kn It matters if she's having kids that she and her husband can't afford. The woman's drained of all energy and will be for the most informative years of their childhoods. Anyone can have a kid, it's so easy that half of people do it by accident. Not everyone can be responsible enough to prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to childcare.
@@AmusedBabyOctopus-bq8kn I'm glad to hear that. 6 kids at 25 still crazy, though. If you didn't know her you'd be thinking the same. But I'm glad she's a good mom. Nothing against her personally.
I would have sued every single one of them. from the social workers to the lawyers to every nurse and doctor. I cannot believe that doctors that are sung praise of being the best did this.
Its hard to believe it, but i had to fight and argue with the doctors that my daughter also wasn't eating and did not want to eat the things that I, myself, cooked... My son would eat and is healthy, but the doctors did nothing. My husband and I fought hard to get them to understand that we need a feeding tube so we arent seeing our daughter starving... There are good doctors and Bad doctors.
The doctors accused me of starving my child too once. I was begging them to figure out what was happening because she would lose weight and not gain, profusely vomit after feedings. A year later? THEY FOUND SHE HAD GERD AND REFLUX, AND FAILURE TO THRIVE WITH SILENT ASPIRATION. They assume shit for people instead of HELPING. 😣 ugh. These poor people.
I’m the mom of this little boy… I’m so sorry you too went through what I did :( that aspiration is what my son had dealt with. Silently dying… abuse specialist assumed it was us, but we used bottles and breast and he just couldn’t gain… :( drs are the worst.
May God always shine his many blessings onto Steve Wilkos. He’s doing a great thing with his teammates and television show. Steve Wilkos is God sent. May God always protect him and his family. Hare Krishna ❤
For those of you making negative comments, unless you know these people personally, grow up. I've known Gloria for years. We went to school together, and became friends. I know for a FACT that she loves all her kids and does what she can to support them!! Who cares if she has 6 kids, or 16 kids. Those kids are taken care of, and they are loved!!
They aren't, clearly the mother said herself in the video they didn't have the proper funds to take their dying child to another doctor. Literally if you cannot prepare financially for the possibility of your child suffering, stop having sex. They have toys available. And other options and methods.
You don’t know her or the situation I lived together through it with her as her mom and saw first hand the situation and loved her and tried to change the outcome only for her to become vindictive and lie so know the facts honey nobody can speak on that if they weren’t physically there watching her I was
Sue the hospital and don’t settle. My son lost 7% for not eating so they put him on a feeding tube in the nicu until he could eat enough on his own. That was January of ‘24, this year. They have the technology. There’s no excuse. Sue period!
My daughter refused my breast after 1 week. We were told by our family doctor that it was simply colic. We got a second opinion and found out it was a milk protein intolerance and were switched to soy formula. Thank God the second doctor listened to us! My daughter started to thrive and gain weight as a result. What happened to this family shouldn't have happened. I would seriously think about suing the hospital for negligence.
He has an amazing woman, very intelligent and courageous. I hope he knows how lucky he is as such women are rare. Please take legal action against that medical institution. You are both good people.
Now if STEVE HADNT KNOWN THE RESULTS, do u really believe he would let this type of case and person sit on the stage. Come on now. You guys believe when he says he doesnt know, you guys need to relook at how you judge people very quickly.
Nah that mom failed her baby. How stupid can you be to sit there and watch your baby starve to death and not do anything. Poor baby. He deserved a better mother.
I'm telling you I believe the story before it even finished. When I lived in Washington state I had my son. And I knew something was wrong he went from 6 lb 1 oz to 4 lb before we even left the hospital. His lips and eyes were turning blue I told the nurses listen there's something wrong with my son. Can you please help us cuz I don't know what's going on. They told me I was overreacting there was nothing wrong with my son. I had gotten a c-section had to stay in the hospital for 3 days. 20 minutes before we left the hospital after voicing my concerns yet again my son started seizing he had a 26-minute long seizure they created brain damage. We were medivact to children's hospital from the birthing hospital. Now my son is special needs all due to the fact that these nurses and these doctors would not listen to me they would not check turns out, that they never checked his sugar levels the whole time we were in the hospital but the time he started seizing right before we went to children's hospital his sugar levels were six.. just six . There's more to the story and it was all a horrible experience. But now my son is left damage and I am left feeling guilty.. and ashamed, that I could not get the doctors to listen to what I said. I will forever feel like I failed my son even though I tried. He is a wonderful boy and he is here with us today but he has seizures for the rest of his life Due To medical neglect.. of the doctors and nurses. If any body lives in Olympia Washington.. please for the love of god, do not give birth at the hospital's there.
In this case you need to raise hell!! My son would turn purple after feeding after 10 minutes every single time. Nurses kept saying oh its normal its normal. After 8 hours an older nurse came and saw how stressed I was about it and watched with me, she jumped into action immediately and said its NOT normal. They took him for almost 12 hours, I was on the verge of a mental breakdown because no one would tell anything, my MIL almost went into a rampage, they FINALLY came in with paperwork to send him to a bigger hospital an hour and a half away. He was already loaded up and we couldnt even see him. I couldn't go with him and since I lost alot of blood during delivery they didnt want me to leave, I left because F that. The other hospital wouldnt admit me so we had to travel back and forth daily, finally admitted me when I collapsed in the original hospital because I was so weak. He was in the NICU for 7 days, he didn't get all the fluids out of his lungs after delivery so got pneumonia. I wanted to breastfeed but since it was so far away and they refised to give him my milk, they accused me of being on drugs becauae his health would improve after having milk and shocker there was no drugs in his system, so thanks to all the stress I couldn't produce enough milk and my son preferred a bottle. Raise hell
I tried …. :( I honestly thought it was because of color purely but I also think it’s because I’m a young mom…. They really were willing to let our child die. Most of our children went with undiagnosed conditions thanks to Lewis county wa. I found out in the last month that 3 of my children and myself have a heart condition on top of everything else and it’s deadly … so we are constantly battling drs :( it’s never ending 😭
Steve tried to deflect and started mentioning how many children she have. He was ready to throw her under the bus for having six children. So what! She can have as many children as she wants as long as they are not neglected. That's non of his business and not the topic of discussion. Steve just want to have a fiery show and for his audience to cater to him. Glad he brought it back to the subject at hand. He tried it though. 🤨
He is definitely not what I expected. I wouldn’t have gone on that show if I were guilty…. I just wanted to prove we’d never hurt our child / children :( this was hurtful. How he treated us was identical to the legal teams against us …
@@gloriapirtle9671 Glad you proved your truth. Steve is still an A-Hole. He could never have somebody like me on his show. It would never air because once he tried to make me his laughingstock, I would simply bring up a few years ago when he flipped his vehicle because he was drunk driving and got arrested.

@@gloriapirtle9671 I wish I would have responded better sooner. How is your son doing now? You, your husband, your baby boy and the rest of your children were all dealt a bad hand. It wasn't you and your husband that neglected that precious baby boy, it was the doctors, nurses, hospital staff and the so-called specialists. You, your husband and your other children paid the cost by having your baby boy and their little brother taken away because of THEIR failure and THEIR neglect. I hope you two get a good lawyer who's willing to work for/with you pro bono and sue that hospital and other medical personal for THEIR neglect and your lost of time not spent with your baby son. I hope all is well with your family now and thanks for your response. ❤️🙏🏾❤️ Know that You guys did EVERYTHING right.
My friend was in a similar situation.. her baby had a twisted bowel .. the docs said she was an over protective mother .. she took her baby 2 hospital and was told if she had waited any longer .. her baby would have been died by the morning .. I hope this couple can clear there names in the eyes of the law xx
That's exactly what I was thinking!! This isn't about how many kids they have but how badly they were wronged by everyone who was supposed to help them
I almost lost my son. He was 8 weeks old when he started throwing up. Coming to find out his stomach muscle gruw in a knot after he was born and he wasnt getting enough food through his stomach. He started throwing up like a coffeeground stuff.i took him to the dr and cause he told me he has diarrea i threw the bag at his head. And thats when everything went fast. He was operated the next day He had something 1 every so million boys get.
I would not let Steve tell me how many kids I can have or make me feel bad about it.... I HATE when ppl ask that dumb question.. God said to be fruitful and MULTIPLY! HE WILL PROVIDE! As he did, they are now homeowners and taking care of their babies! If she would have wanted to abort or something she'd be getting drug for that too! What did he want her to do? Have her tubes tied when she knew she'd want more kids!?! NO! Have as many kids as you want! In the bible days they had 50 to 80 kids and that was in old age even! Ppl do too much! He was literally laughing at them and rolling his eyes smh that's disgusting, he discredited them just like those Doctors! I'm glad they were able to prove their innocence, I'll be praying for them in hopes they find and keep wonderful peace within themselves and their family! They deserve it.. it's not the ppl money that I applaud for doing awesome with their babies, it's the ones with nothing who still make that shit shake REGARDLESS! THEY are the real MVPS!
God bless these two!! God bless this mother abd give her strength because i know it hards dealing with all that she is especially after a system that's supposed to help you blames you because they don't want to or care about doing their job!!
Omg! The injustice! I can't imagine how horrific this has been for you both. I agree with Steve. Both of you need to get that knocked off your records then sue those who were incompetent and dismissive towards you and .ost of all your poor baby boy who's battle still isnt over! Good luck. You're beautiful pare ts and i dont judge you for having 6 kids on low income. Love wnd good parenting is richer than money ❤
You are so very kind ! Thank you ! Unfortunately stuck on my record but I will be helping my husband fight his battle. They are wrong , and need to be held accountable… however with the time frame, we can’t sue and that means no justice either thanks to legal bs…
Why berate her because she has so many kids… smfh I clearly knew she was innocent from the start of this show. I do foster care and yes it does take a long time to get your kids back Steve you owe her an apology for sure

When I gave birth, my baby refused to nurse the entire time we were at the hospital, but the nurses kept saying she didn't need to eat because her blood sugar was fine. This lasted for 3 days! Hospitals need to be held more accountable for their mistakes/neglect.
You on here talkin about you starved your baby for 3 fuckin days y'all bitches are weird af fr
Did you ask for a second or third opinion?
Yes some of these doctors and nurse shouldn’t be in their field because they don’t care because the child isn’t theirs
I got second, third, and fourth opinions before finally being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Not all doctors are good at their jobs. Some are great.
I breast fed my baby, and the nurses said colostrum is all they need for the first few days, because it takes a few days for a woman's milk to srop...this is horrific!
Time to lawyer up and sue these people!
Hell yea
You can't when you don't have money
There are probono (free) lawyers they will glady sue the doctors hospital etc. @@MeizenRedLeo they exist. I am one im just in a different state and cant travel to anyone.
I looked into this the lawyer told me unless another doctor would say specifically that the other doctor neglected the patient then chances were slim to none of winning, the lawyer actually advised me to go out of state because doctors in my area were all on the same payroll basically (when a doctor gives you a referral for another doctor the entire hospital is basically unreliable and won't testify). Doctors have it made basically untouchable because they all have each others backs... Even if they are at fault...
This is so despicable but unfortunately absolutely true I'm so many cases. I wouldn't necessarily go out of state but I know from personal experience I had to go outside my county in order to find a second opinion from a doctor and a lawyer that would take my case. I'm sorry you had to go through that and I hope and pray things are better for you now. I hate it that these doctors wanna play God with peoples.lives but when they are wrong they play innocent if something goes good they want all the praises and all the glory and worship but when they make a mistake or lose a patient because they messed up misdiagnosed or were negligent they take no responsibility or what little they do take is eaten up by other attorneys fees..
I went to school with her, she's still local to me. She's a great mother. I feel so bad for her. Aberdeen hospital and seamar are a joke. She needs to sue I had so many medical issues caused by them when I went there to give birth. Gotta be the worst hospital in the state. They assume every one is a drug addict and treat people like shit. Beyond unprofessional
Are you talking about aberdeen maryland?
If the father had the same condition, why didnt that goofball take the child to the hospital himself and tell them to check his offspring for it???? Are people not Intune with their children after giving them their genetics????
@@Jules1990xxAberdeen Maryland hospital is terrible BUT you have Maryland university and Johns Hopkins right down 95. I’m sorry but not buying their story.

U sound like a terrible person. @@danieldaniel-bb3sg
@@danieldaniel-bb3sgThey took the child up there multiple times. The doctors just didn’t do shit. Don’t blame the parents for the failings of the healthcare system
My youngest son wasn't gaining weight the way I felt he should. Come to find out, he was severely tongue-tied. He had to go to a pediatric plastic surgeon to have it remedied. As soon as the procedure was complete, he started to gain weight and thrive. He's now in his 30's. Love all my children.
What exactly is tongue tied?
When you raise your tongue, that piece of skin that holds it to the bottom of your mouth grew the whole length of his tongue and a little over the tip. He couldn't get suction on me or a bottle to get the milk out. Plus, he had the same problem as me. He was allergic to milk,lactades, and soy milk. Once they cut and coterized the skin under his tongue, he had the ability to suckle correctly. I ended up putting him on diluted goats milk.
I'm just curious, does that mean he was also allergic to your milk? If you breastfed, that is. As someone lactose intolerant but who was bottle-fed (my mother is not intolerant but calcium deficiency made her unable to produce enough), I'm very curious.
@Iamzakusgirl I actually was able to breastfeed but dried up since he couldn't nurse correctly. I'm allergic to milk, ice cream, and chocolate but can eat yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese. These are what helped me to produce milk for all my children. My youngest son was the only child who was the same as me. The goat's milk helped him to be able to drink whole milk after 2&1/2 years. Unfortunately, he, in his 30s, is becoming sensitive to it again. I'm still allergic and always will be.
Susan
As a baby I was not able to eat lactose ended up having to have goat milk
Couldn't gain weight
Later in life I ended up with a colonostomy I had diverticulitis and got really sick enough to be hospitalized for weight loss
I'm.on new meds and have finally gotten some weight back but there are a lot of gastric disorders and illnesses babies get
I don't know if she starved this baby but in all fairness..there's other reasons for babies not to thrive besides not feeding
This story was both heartbreaking and infuriating. We’ve been fooled before, thinking someone was innocent and it turns out they were guilty. But with this story, I had a feeling they were telling the truth. We’ve also seen em pass, but still be negligent. However in this case, the fact that the HOSPITALS & DOCTORS didn’t listen/take her seriously.. everything that happened (and lack thereof) prior to finally getting a diagnosis & getting someone to truly listen.. was so devastating. It’s one thing for the justice system to be f’d up, but when it’s hospitals and doctors, that’s equally as (if not more) f’d up. I understand protecting children & taking action, but the fact that they didn’t even TRY to help this woman & her child.. that they immediately were so quick/ready to take the child away and deem her unfit. Doctors & hospitals like that need their license revoked. I’m so glad they passed. I’m not going to judge them on how many children they have, because at the end of the day it’s not about that… yes they struggled, but the only thing that matters is they/their son were failed repeatedly by numerous people. The only ones responsible for almost costing this child his life, are the negligent docs & hospitals.
How about you shut your face so we can view the show without your freaking comments okay
Did u look at the case of Welch and fusari these guys didn’t kill there child but the case of Seth Welch and Mellissa Fusari the docs and hospital should do better
Imagine men going thru all this and later find out you weren't even the father 😂😂
Right i feel like steve was crossing a bit of a line… weird. Focus on the baby, not how many kids she has. Its irrelivent to the story
They should've took him to a diff doctor I'm sorry it is what it is 2 hours from death!
As someone that doesn't live in America I just feel that their health system let's people down and way to often pointing the finger at innocent people. The specialist and hospital involves should be prosecuted
Our healthcare system is trash to begin with, even with good insurance that cost and arm and a leg. But things become so much worse when race is factored in. It's not touched on in this show but for non white people the chances of having a negative experience with our healthcare system skyrocket. And if you factor in both race and gender, the chances of a woman not being believed go up even more. It's a deeply systemic and historical issue that most people barely know about because no one talks about it.
It absolutely does. There are huge percentages of us that don't have insurance and grew up without medical assistance and have a plethora of illnesses and injuries that have never been addressed. Even a lot of the children in our country with insurance get minimal Health Care at best and are forced to live life with chronic illnesses and injuries with little to no help whatsoever
I totally agree
@@TrevorIsCommentingI think your beef is with the insurances, and not the healthy care system, going by your statement
I wouldn't say it's often. Out of how many people the treat, and how many stories there are, it's not common. Don't get me wrong, doctors and nurses can be wrong and also negligent, but I would still trust a doctor more than a Karen who doesn't believe in Science/Medicine. You also have to push enough and even going to a different doctor
If I were these parents I’d be suing the hospital for negligence with all the nurses and doctors that saw over this infant.
Wondering if they bought their home from a settlement as they went from low income to home owners quite quickly.
@@Ad-Infinitumit’s called hard work. Plus a FHA loan. Low income sure , but with good credit and a low costing home, anyone can be a home owner.
I’m glad they were able to prove their innocence!! They don’t deserve this, nobody does.
My heart breaks for this family. I pray they clear all the legalities and sues the original doctors, hospital.
I pray this child heals
I'm not a suing person but I think this couple would have every right to initiate and pursue a lawsuit for emotional and monetary compensation.
My child can’t heal due to the late diagnosis. They should have listened when I begged for help…. But no. It was all about a paycheck to them… the sicker he got, the more often I showed up. They did not care that he was dying. We are going to see if removing his tonsils and adenoids helps at all with his eating difficulties…. But they said already it was a very slim chance.
Update ! Surgery worked!! He’s all healed up and excited to start eating and drinking like others now :)
Damn man , this segment was very sad to watch . I felt tears coming out of my eyes . And I hope the people at that hospital got fired for ignoring the concerns of the parents about what’s going on with their son . It’s clear they don’t know how to do their jobs . Hopefully the young boy will overcome the challenges he’s facing . If I were them, I’d sue the entire hospital .
They were not fired. As a matter a fact, nothing was done. Because we ran out of time… they will keep killing babies and getting them to point my son was and go on without a scratch. Why? Because medical professionals are damn near untouchable. This was Lewis county, clinic name was chehalis children’s clinic, 2 hospitals involved with criminalizing me and my husband plus taking our youngest child is Joyce Gilbert who works at St. Peter’s hospital in thurston county and then the other hospital is centralia providence hospital and he seen a few different drs there. Mary bridge children’s hospital even said since his PKU came back that they thought he was fine. So anger is a understatement. :(
@@gloriapirtle9671 how has your son been doing ?
He’s much better. Still randomly gets sick and it’s hard…. His diet is hard to manage because almost everything poses a threat. He can’t eat regular fruits like you and I , he has to eat completely dried fruits, veggies ect. No soups even if he’s sick , it’s just really hard….. and now he will never out grow it thanks to the late diagnosis:( my heart hurts for my baby boy… he’s 5 now. I have 6 special needs children, and his diagnosis is by far the hardest to manage. And I have 3 that are epileptic so that says a lot.

Oh it’ll be alright ! I’m staying positive. He’s ALIVE and that’s all we care about. We love him no matter what.
there need to be a state investigation into the doctors and hospital to see if there was medical misconduct committed by them or not
They said it’s out of their jurisdiction because we are past the statute to limitations …. Our souls are crushed…. Our lives, ruined. Only good thing is we have our kids…

Hi Zim
I live here in FL north west panhandle
I have colonostomy. This is not a fun place for anyone with disabilities.. jmo
When my oldest son was a baby , I literally went through 6 pediatricians before I found one I loved in his first year!
My daughter was 2months early but because of her size, they just assumed she was full term. She weighed 7lb 2oz when she was born. I had a C-section so we were in the hospital for a few days. The night after I got home with her, I took her to the ER and my doctor checked her out and she was in the hospital for 4 months. My doctor called the doctor that was supposed to be taking care of her and told him that he was a shitty doctor and she almost died. She's 20 yrs old now and has a gorgeous baby boy.
God bless you and your daughter
U can tell Steve did not believe her either so happy she passed her test
This is how we’ve been treated for every second of every day. Even after getting his diagnosis, thanks to those drs …. I have X-rays that proves the condition and everything:( they all got away with trying to kill my son. Not helping is the same as signing his death sentence…. And my baby was at deaths door step so I’d say they definitely tried to kill him.
@@gloriapirtle9671can’t believe you and your family had to go through this. Hope y’all heal from this 🫶🏻
I guarantee because she was a young Mum they brushed her concerns aside like in many cases not taking into account that she was already a Mum to 3 before him! It's disgusting that in this day and age this is still happening! Shame on all those Drs and nurses!
That’s exactly how I was treated. I’m the mom by the way! Yes the drs think if your not older than 30 than your a over anxious and paranoid child. Even when something is legitimately wrong…
The update for the second story (full episode) had me in tears.. I wish the best for Richard and his daughter. I understand times are hard for them now, but I hope in the future Royal is able to get some therapy for the trauma she’s been through. For Steve to not only send her birthday gifts, but to help them out financially, even if it’s only a little.. was very sweet.

She's a wonderful mama Steve you were harsh on her regardless of how many children she has she got fixed so sad that no one listed to them an two years 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 omg
I don't think it was that harsh. Why have kids you can't afford? Having kids is often a choice for a lot of people and there are many ways now you can prevent them outside birth control. Deciding to have kids when your low income is selfish
She got fixed like 4 kids too late though...
@@helpkelp3595 She's married, married couples have sex and know the consequence of getting pregnant. Maybe she didnt wanna terminate her children and instead decided to take care of them, I see nothing wrong with a strong woman taking accountability. It was harsh of him basically to judge her because she has 6 kids.
I have 6 kids yes. Every one of them is special needs yes. But nobody but me has a right to my body. My son was born with pharyngeal dysphasia. I did not want to terminate because I was blessed. I was told I was sterile. God gave me a gift of life and I sure kept up my end and let them be born. It is not my fault they were born special, god just knew I was strong enough to fight for them and their health. Does it get hard? Being a parent is HARD. And if it’s not, your doing it wrong. But to be charged and accused of attempted murder just because your child was born differently than others….. well that’s not okay. I’ll out them all by name if I have to. They tried to kill my son. They made me wish I wasn’t African American BECAUSE BEING THIS RACE IS WHY THEY REFUSED TO HELP US. I know now after finding god that he blessed me. Sure it was hard, I’m still battling the ptsd. But this made me strong. We own our home now, we are in a amazing community that helps us. Lewis county wa and thurston county wa dcyf has some questions to answer, but they won’t. Because they think they are innocent. My son was court ordered to return home and they still withheld him from us. We missed 2 years of mile stones INCLUDING his second birthday… until you’ve dealt with racist dcyf workers, please don’t assume.
@@nanzzwhatever96106 kids when she's low income and barely more than a child herself; it's irresponsible no matter how much she loves her kids. She can love them to the moon and back; it's still irresponsible.
This story really touched me because I went through the same situation with my son, he was 29 weeks preemie. He would not gain weight, I took him to specialist and his skin would peel. The doctors did nothing, they're quick to blame the parents instead of running test and finding out what's wrong. This is all too familiar.
Was it really necessary for Steve to go on his moral high ground about the amount of children she has, she doesn’t need to explain her life choices to you on national tv when she’s here to clear her name after being accused of one of the worst things a parent can be accused of.
Yes because her excuse to not taking the baby to a different hospital was because they were low income yet at the time have 4 kids and now 6 which is irresponsible and selfish because how can you afford them all
He completely ignored when she told him birth control fails her
@@helpkelp3595 you and Steve must have alot of wax in yalls ears. She said the birth control fails

Sue those doctors, at the very least for any upcoming surgery that may be warranted because of their negligence in not giving this boy a chance to outgrow his condition. Please!
We did the surgery… 10% or less rate for this to cure and we actually managed to have god on our side… he beat all the odds once again. However … those drs and dcyf got away with everything. They made sure we ran out of time with the statute to limitations. :( no justice for my children …
I had a doctor that wouldnt listen to me when i told him my son which was a new born at the time was pooping way too much. He checked his diaper and said no thats what it was suppose to look like. My babys butt was bleeding from pooping so much. Me and my mom just changed his formula on own own and he got better. Hes lactose intolerant like his older sister and still is to this day and hes going to be 3 this year. His sister grew out of it but he didnt. Sometimes doctor's wont listen and think they know more about your child than you do. My son is my 5th child so i knew it wasnt normal.
A mother knows her child more than anyone else.
Then you take him to a different doctor immediately duh

The Doctors and whom ever was the child abuse case worker, should be held accountable for what this family has gone through in regards to the child's health!😡
Can they be sued for that???
Unfortunately they made sure we ran out of time… nothing can be done now and they got away with everything.
This same situation (without foster care part) happened to me ! After complaining to my child’s original doctor, time and time again about my child not eating or in pain after eating along with excessive vomiting etc My daughter almost died !!! And they were trying to accuse me of neglect…after flying my child to childrens national hospital in DC come to find out my daughter was allergic to cows milk/dairy !
Gloria is my neice and she always seemed like a good mom. I've mostly talked to her over the phone, though, since I've lived out of state most of her life, but she was always a sweet kid. The health care system has failed so many times, and it's just sad. Including my sister, who had a disability. The hospital failed time after time and blamed my mom so they got social services involved and then when my mom went after them they said she could have my sister back if she agreed to not press charges and sue... Of course, she agreed because my sister is what really mattered. The system is soo messed up.
My sister Morgan only knows vaguely about My kids as to right before our mom passed away and she knows for a fact I would NEVER sell them to men EVER that’s sick I was hurt as a child so I know how it destroys you emotionally as a person so NO I would never hurt my kids ever the lying needs to stop !!! Those who see only what she says he says need to get a life cause I as a mom was not perfect I grew and learned my mom was a great mom she did everything to guide me to do better as days went by with each passing day that being said there’s parents who pretend they’ve never made a mistake and those who can own it I know mine I don’t hide behind it but I won’t admit to lies told and Gloria knows how much she’s a liar she won’t change cause nobody holds her accountable for her actions so she continues to lie and hurt the ones who were there and who loved her through good or bad times my point is ppl can say anything about me they want to they weren’t here or there before or now so nobody knows the truth but Gloria and Myself !!!
Ugh, it’s just don’t end with cases like this…😢
Those pictures were a punch to my stomach and its not even my baby!!! My heart is broken for this baby boy!!
I literally turned my head from the screen.. That’s so heartbreaking
Sue them , get u a good attorney and sue both doctor and hospital
love and healing sent to your son and the same for mum and dad
And that is exactly what CPS is known for harassing innocent parents and taking their children for no reason, while letting other kids that are knowingly being abused stay in homes until their found dead it's sick!!!!!
That’s so crazy! Some of these drs really don’t listen when you’re asking for help. It’s so heartbreaking too see others go through this smh.
This is very common that hospitals blame parents for their minor children illness and say it’s neglect then press charges on the parents . I remember seeing a documentary on Netflix about it . John Hopkins hospital specifically is known for this also but it’s tons that do it. Charges are never pressed against the doctors or the hospital and it’s sick that you can’t even trust those people when it comes to a medical emergency.
They ignored her because she was young , black , and didn’t not know how to defend herself . She has a lawsuit in her hands for sure.
Unfortunately we don’t …. Time ran out. Nobody would donate to the gofundme so those drs got away with attempting to murder my son and cps got away with medical kidnapping… I prayed for years and still nothing happened 😭 now I see them in public all happy and it kills me that nobody knows the evils they do.
They definitely have a malpractice lawsuit on their hands. Most definitely. The hospital records and all that testimony will get them financial justice.
It didn’t though :( we ran out of time thanks to the constant pushing out court dates. Our attorneys didn’t even fight for us. We were left to fend for ourselves pretty much WHILE having attorneys. Katherine Gulmert is the best attorney I’ve ever worked with aside from Sharonda Amamilo . Both Lewis and thurston county based. This took place in Lewis County and transferred to thurston :(
I agree with Steve about her struggling and still making kids. But the WAY he had that conversation with her (and the crowd applauding his remark) was sad....knowing fully well they went there to talk about their almost starving baby and trying to prove themselves innocent
Stuff like this is why I have a love/hate relationship with child services. I’ve witnessed too many lives get destroyed by them.
When I had my last baby, he couldn't keep down, and he kept losing weight. The doctor and clinic nurse didn't appear to have any concerns. I was worried senseless, but they wouldn't investigate what was happening with him.
After telling my Nana what was happening, she told me what to do, the doctor and nurse were horrified with her advice. But I chose to listen to Nana, and my baby started to thrive. Thank all the gods for my Nana, if I'd listened to the doctor and nurse, my baby would probably be dead😢❤
What was Nanak advice that the drs were horrified by?
@Outnumberedbykidsandcats you mean Nana. First she put my baby on a formula consistent of carnation milk, sugar and water. After that she told me to give him a bottle of warm water so as not to constipate him.Then she told me to give him a dose of a concoction that her mother made for her babies, and then she told mr to bath him after each feed to sooth his tummy. Finally she told me to cuddle my baby in bed with me, skin to skin.
The mixture of carnation milk freaked them out, as did the rest of her advice. But she was right, and thank all the gods that I listened to her.....sometimes the old remedies are the best
@@Unicornslive lol yeah I typed nanas so not sure why it changed it. I know that it might not be recommended but my mum was fed carnation milk as a baby too. She was adopted and was unwell with normal formula so she had carnation milk and thrived. As a midwife I can tell you that we recommend skin to skin for almost everything as it’s very beneficial and not just for bonding. Studies have shown that if a baby is cold then the mother’s core temperature will actually increase to warm the baby and if the baby is too hot, then mums temperature will actually reduce to cool the baby. I had a very colicky baby with my second and I used to have to massage his tummy and bath him a lot to help him. Even though co sleeping isn’t supposed to be advised, it actually can be beneficial as long as neither parent drink, smoke or take any medication that may make them sleepy and as long as neither are over tired. Obviously shouldn’t use loose covers or have a very hot room. There are some studies to show that co sleeping mums are more in tune with their babies breathing etc and are more responsive to them in the night - especially for breastfed babies. Apart from the carnation milk then all the advice actually sounds pretty good.
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats bear in mind this was more than 40 years ago, when obstetrics wasn't what as enlightened as it is now
You can tell they will they are good people they wouldn't hurt nobody... Beautiful Souls ❤❤
Thank you ❤️ you are so kind !
I hate to text this but I'm a 61 year old black woman and I just learned 5 years a go that women of color are more likely to Die from childbirth, Let along having a special need child !!!! My heart goes out to Any family that something like this Happing too !!
yep!!! i say this all the time. it’s one of the biggest reasons i say i won’t have kids
As a Hispanic woman with special needs kids... I agree. They treated me like a rabid dog... while giving birth and throughout the years. If only I recorded them.....
You're right. All mothers, especially those of color, should always have a doula or someone to advocate on their behalf while in labor. Look into having a midwife if possible and give birth at home!! Where you're comfortable and in control. Thank you for touching on this topic. Everybody should know these facts!
@@kimnamjoonsbike261 or maybe nobody wants you 😊
@@kwakuemma4357 i said the reason the first time. no need to make assumptions i’m also 17. 🩷
My son have level 3 autism and CDLS, and he would never eat solids and finally he’s doctor told us to stop supplementing so much liquid nutrition, only give him 1 bottle of pediasure a day spanned out across the day, because “he will eat when he is hungry”. They told us to come back in 30 days (keep in mind that he was receiving feeding therapy we had been trying to get this addressed for a WHILE by then), and then when he came back to the follow up, he was underweight, and she immediately changed her mind and told us to immediately begin supplementing again.
He was 2 at that point, he is 6 now and is JUST beginning to eat solid foods, despite seeing 14 specialists and multiple therapists including feeding therapy, nutritionist, GI, and developmental pediatrics. Unfortunately pediatricians can be great at something’s, but not at speciality things, and sometimes you get doctors who don’t like to acknowledge that problems are out of their area of expertise, so they minimize the problem.
This is maybe the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever watched…
They seem like a very sweet couple and the only child they took was the baby and at the time she had 3 other kids. They must have had 2 more after that because she now has 6. Anyway, if they really thought they did this, they would have taken their other kids but they didn't which shows that they aren't abusive parents.
Thank you. I’m the momma here , and that’s my boy… they only managed to get one because even the judge was baffled as to why only one of my kids looked starved. I never had issues getting a Dr to listen in Oregon is why. Each of my kids suffer GI issues. I tried to get the clinic and the hospitals to listen… they didn’t. This all happened because Lewis county is racist. Chehalis children’s clinic (their top Dr) was trying to kill my son and pin it on my family…. Dcyf can say what they want. I took the plea bargain because my pride wasn’t worth losing my kids. They would have rigged trial and stole them all…. I did what I did to protect my children.
Was so irritated with Steve questioning her about her kids. Every time she tried to explain herself he cut her off and dismissed her. What a woman decides to do with her womb is only the business of her and her husband. She didnt complain about her six kids so why is he. Children need the basics, as long as they have that and the love of a family they will strive just as well if not more than a child in a mansion. I would've respectfully shut him down instantly. My children are a blessing let's get back to the case on hand
He shut down her excuses. It's all of our business when she's receiving govt benefits, living in low income housing, and subjecting these children to being one of 6 siblings with little to know money. She made her decisions in life, people are allowed to disagree. She had no good answers because there are none. Why on earth you felt the need to justify such irresponsible behavior is beyond me. Having a child is one of the most important decisions a person can make. It's much deeper than "it's her womb and nobody's business." You don't get to make terrible decisions, then tell people their not allowed to say call you out on them, esp when they involve helpless babies
@@NeeNee_B. The entitlement of this country is beyond me. NO, it's not YOUR business and it's no His. U would still be paying those same taxes even if she had no kids. The only business u have is in the voting booth. To think her personal life choices need to be explained to someone as irrelevant as you is comically outrageous. Take that energy and fix the issues in ur own life. For the way those doctors neglected that poor baby to the point he almost lost his life and the crucial bonding time she will never get back because they wrongfully accused her due to the doctors neglect she is owed far more money than some food stamps so please have a tall glass of S+fu and go clean the dirt in ur own house.
@@NeeNee_B. to all of our knowledge we do not know if she uses govt benefits, thats ignorant to say. She owns her home and she is married and as far as we are concerned she took good care of all of her children and the only reason the last child was malnourished was because of the doctors fault. not hers. It is most definitely none of our business what she chooses to do with her womb. You call her standing up and fighting for her children "terrible decisions" ? thats sad.
@@nanzzwhatever9610your right. We didn’t have state assistance. Barely even qualified for state insurance and it is crap. We had to pay out of pocket for everything we owned and needed to eat. This had nothing to do with that however, I can’t drive due to my eyes. I can’t see the signs too well and don’t feel comfortable risking my life or anyone else’s. The drs where I lived were not doing crap. Any others are hours away. Only way I could actually get my son to a proper dr was for my husband to drive us and that’s if his dumb boss would have let him off without constant threats to fire him. At one point my husband didn’t care and we had his boss blowing us up the entire time we were at the hospital and freaking out the whole time. My sons condition is Pharyngeal Dysphasia. Very deadly to anyone really but for a infant who can’t say why they are choking every time I fed him… it’s difficult to get diagnosed… however that’s not even why they didn’t diagnose him. The dr at that clinic and the providence hospital in centralia were all racist. I had 1 nice nurse and she straight up told me I’d get nowhere with the drs there and said sorry. My sons condition requires a specialist, which means I need a referral. Nobody was willing to give me that ….. so no. None of this had to do with me being on state assistance or anything like that. My husband worked construction and was hardly home. So the drs took advantage of me as a young mom of 4 at the time.
@@gloriapirtle9671 I am so sorry to hear that from you, I hope you've changed doctors and your baby boy is healthy now. Shame on the doctors for not helping you with your child when it's their job. From what I've seen and heard, you are a great momma ! Do what you know is best, and I'll pray for you and your beautiful family.
You know when parents are really beating and starving their children dcs keeps their children with them in a terrible situation. Then you have good parents who love and care for their children and social services take the child away. They need to get it together.
Why couldn't CPS or the other hospital who called CPS, request the previous medical records showing all their visits to the doctor and that they kept sending them home?
I gave them all those records, they didn’t care.
I'm a nurse and can't always trust healthcare providers at times. First baby I told them please just get a bottle formula for my baby, the nurse said no if I'm going to attempt breastfeeding. I was crying snd trying to feed my baby. My 3rd baby, being a nurse at that time, I told them, nope just get me a bottle asap and I will decide when I want to start breastfeeding.
Them doctors need to be sued im glad the results turned out the way they did. Prayers to them and the baby
They should sue every single one of those people for neglect since they have proof that they were pushed away and didn't do any harm to their son. I'm so sorry they had to go through that and also she should get that off her record.
The way we have to advocate for our health smh. They don’t care to hear us.
That’s because they don’t care if we die. We are colored , beneath them in their eyes …. I’m the mom in this episode, and there’s so many things I wanted to say but they said I’m not allowed to say on air. Like the clinic name, name drop the social workers and that abuse specialist and her link to the hospital, there’s SO MUCH
>> My husband’s and my firstborn was neglected like this. Full-term, wouldn’t latch, couldn’t keep food down. For three months, our pediatrician (my childhood pediatrician) thought we were lying or exaggerating and wrote us off as just young parents. Once he saw our son was losing weight, at three months old, he deemed him “failure to thrive” and sent us directly to emergency surgery. Our boy was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis, which the doctor shrugged off bc typically it’s found in white, blue-eyed babies, and our son is Black. The surgeon said it was the worst case she’d ever seen.
While I’m glad our case was resolved quicker and with zero police/CPS presence, I hate that good parents and innocent babies have to go through this, have to be ignored until the worst comes.
I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this :( my boy has pharyngeal dysphasia. I have a daughter who also has it and it sucks. Having my 3 year old checked out too because he’s had issues since birth with drinks AND foods. Our babies should not get to near death before anyone decides they should listen. I’m the mom in the episode here and I’m still battling all these issues with my child and other children … nobody helped with gofundme or anything so all those drs and cps workers got off without even a wrist slap…. My children have no justice. My husband and I are made to look and feel like criminals….. we feel defeated. Steve didn’t know the results before we went on the show, poor guy was tossed to the wolves. He came off very sexist however and that pissed me off but he thought we were guilty. Everyone did and some still do since they couldn’t ever begin to understand the concept of what prematurity can do to a baby
For god so love the world that he gave his only begotten son who ever believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life
Not relevant to this but ok

I’m the mom in the video here. Video is cut short and doesn’t seem to say his condition, he was not diagnosed until 2 years old when returned to us because the judge FORCED cps to give him back. Pharyngeal dysphasia. Very deadly to babies … :( nobody would listen and STILL nobody listens…

My heart and prayers goes out to this amazing couple.😢😢😢😢❤
Its hard to believe it, but i had to fight and argue with the doctors that my daughter also wasn't eating and did not want to eat the things that I, myself, cooked... My son would eat and is healthy, but the doctors did nothing. My husband and I fought hard to get them to understand that we need a feeding tube so we arent seeing our daughter starving... There are good doctors and Bad doctors.
The doctors accused me of starving my child too once. I was begging them to figure out what was happening because she would lose weight and not gain, profusely vomit after feedings. A year later? THEY FOUND SHE HAD GERD AND REFLUX, AND FAILURE TO THRIVE WITH SILENT ASPIRATION. They assume shit for people instead of HELPING. 😣 ugh. These poor people.
I’m the mom of this little boy… I’m so sorry you too went through what I did :( that aspiration is what my son had dealt with. Silently dying… abuse specialist assumed it was us, but we used bottles and breast and he just couldn’t gain… :( drs are the worst.

They aren't, clearly the mother said herself in the video they didn't have the proper funds to take their dying child to another doctor. Literally if you cannot prepare financially for the possibility of your child suffering, stop having sex. They have toys available. And other options and methods.

I tried 😭 the more I see these comments , the more it hurts… having no justice is killing me…
The fact that the doctors kept telling them its normal frustrates me .
My daughter refused my breast after 1 week. We were told by our family doctor that it was simply colic. We got a second opinion and found out it was a milk protein intolerance and were switched to soy formula. Thank God the second doctor listened to us! My daughter started to thrive and gain weight as a result. What happened to this family shouldn't have happened. I would seriously think about suing the hospital for negligence.
An attorney or lawyer should pick up their case and sue.

@@texasmadehoney1523 pharyngeal dysphasia look it up
Pediatric pharyngeal dysphasia
I'm telling you I believe the story before it even finished. When I lived in Washington state I had my son. And I knew something was wrong he went from 6 lb 1 oz to 4 lb before we even left the hospital. His lips and eyes were turning blue I told the nurses listen there's something wrong with my son. Can you please help us cuz I don't know what's going on.
They told me I was overreacting there was nothing wrong with my son. I had gotten a c-section had to stay in the hospital for 3 days. 20 minutes before we left the hospital after voicing my concerns yet again my son started seizing he had a 26-minute long seizure they created brain damage.
We were medivact to children's hospital from the birthing hospital. Now my son is special needs all due to the fact that these nurses and these doctors would not listen to me they would not check turns out, that they never checked his sugar levels the whole time we were in the hospital but the time he started seizing right before we went to children's hospital his sugar levels were six.. just six . There's more to the story and it was all a horrible experience. But now my son is left damage and I am left feeling guilty.. and ashamed, that I could not get the doctors to listen to what I said. I will forever feel like I failed my son even though I tried. He is a wonderful boy and he is here with us today but he has seizures for the rest of his life Due To medical neglect.. of the doctors and nurses. If any body lives in Olympia Washington.. please for the love of god, do not give birth at the hospital's there.
I hope she sues them.
In this case you need to raise hell!! My son would turn purple after feeding after 10 minutes every single time. Nurses kept saying oh its normal its normal. After 8 hours an older nurse came and saw how stressed I was about it and watched with me, she jumped into action immediately and said its NOT normal. They took him for almost 12 hours, I was on the verge of a mental breakdown because no one would tell anything, my MIL almost went into a rampage, they FINALLY came in with paperwork to send him to a bigger hospital an hour and a half away. He was already loaded up and we couldnt even see him. I couldn't go with him and since I lost alot of blood during delivery they didnt want me to leave, I left because F that. The other hospital wouldnt admit me so we had to travel back and forth daily, finally admitted me when I collapsed in the original hospital because I was so weak. He was in the NICU for 7 days, he didn't get all the fluids out of his lungs after delivery so got pneumonia. I wanted to breastfeed but since it was so far away and they refised to give him my milk, they accused me of being on drugs becauae his health would improve after having milk and shocker there was no drugs in his system, so thanks to all the stress I couldn't produce enough milk and my son preferred a bottle.
Raise hell
I tried …. :( I honestly thought it was because of color purely but I also think it’s because I’m a young mom…. They really were willing to let our child die. Most of our children went with undiagnosed conditions thanks to Lewis county wa. I found out in the last month that 3 of my children and myself have a heart condition on top of everything else and it’s deadly … so we are constantly battling drs :( it’s never ending 😭
Steve tried to deflect and started mentioning how many children she have. He was ready to throw her under the bus for having six children. So what! She can have as many children as she wants as long as they are not neglected. That's non of his business and not the topic of discussion. Steve just want to have a fiery show and for his audience to cater to him. Glad he brought it back to the subject at hand. He tried it though. 🤨
He is definitely not what I expected. I wouldn’t have gone on that show if I were guilty…. I just wanted to prove we’d never hurt our child / children :( this was hurtful. How he treated us was identical to the legal teams against us …

I almost lost my son. He was 8 weeks old when he started throwing up. Coming to find out his stomach muscle gruw in a knot after he was born and he wasnt getting enough food through his stomach. He started throwing up like a coffeeground stuff.i took him to the dr and cause he told me he has diarrea i threw the bag at his head. And thats when everything went fast. He was operated the next day He had something 1 every so million boys get.
Doctors failed this family 😢
doctors don't care. i have the same problems where im either told idk how to help you or "you'll be fine". ive stopped going
Drs are evil. Take our money and they don’t help us. Worse when Low income or of color.
Damn 25 with six kids is crazy
Hes rude for telling her she should have less children thats none of his business
I would not let Steve tell me how many kids I can have or make me feel bad about it.... I HATE when ppl ask that dumb question.. God said to be fruitful and MULTIPLY! HE WILL PROVIDE! As he did, they are now homeowners and taking care of their babies! If she would have wanted to abort or something she'd be getting drug for that too! What did he want her to do? Have her tubes tied when she knew she'd want more kids!?! NO! Have as many kids as you want! In the bible days they had 50 to 80 kids and that was in old age even! Ppl do too much! He was literally laughing at them and rolling his eyes smh that's disgusting, he discredited them just like those Doctors! I'm glad they were able to prove their innocence, I'll be praying for them in hopes they find and keep wonderful peace within themselves and their family! They deserve it.. it's not the ppl money that I applaud for doing awesome with their babies, it's the ones with nothing who still make that shit shake REGARDLESS! THEY are the real MVPS!
Thank you from the family themselves. Steve did apologize. This isn’t the entire episode sadly..
God bless these two!! God bless this mother abd give her strength because i know it hards dealing with all that she is especially after a system that's supposed to help you blames you because they don't want to or care about doing their job!!
That dude looks like her dad.
Omg! The injustice! I can't imagine how horrific this has been for you both. I agree with Steve. Both of you need to get that knocked off your records then sue those who were incompetent and dismissive towards you and .ost of all your poor baby boy who's battle still isnt over! Good luck. You're beautiful pare ts and i dont judge you for having 6 kids on low income. Love wnd good parenting is richer than money ❤
You are so very kind ! Thank you ! Unfortunately stuck on my record but I will be helping my husband fight his battle. They are wrong , and need to be held accountable… however with the time frame, we can’t sue and that means no justice either thanks to legal bs…
Why berate her because she has so many kids… smfh I clearly knew she was innocent from the start of this show. I do foster care and yes it does take a long time to get your kids back Steve you owe her an apology for sure
Because she was/is low income and continued to have kids which are expensive and unnecessary
