Bangkok, Thailand I really hate to be negative... but this is positively revolting. Disgusting. Indescribably offensive. In the Land of the Free recently, a California couple had their child kidnapped by the state. At gunpoint. It all started in mid-April when Anna and Alex Nikolayev took their 5-month old son Sammy to the hospital in Sacramento to be treated for flu symptoms. The parents didn't particularly care for the treatment that their son was receiving. Doctors were pumping him full of antibiotics and soon began talking about performing surgery. Anna and Alex argued with the doctors and said that they were going to get a second opinion; they took the baby and went to another hospital where another physician deemed it perfectly safe for the child to return home with his parents without the need for surgery. The next day, with the family resting comfortably at home, the police showed up with Child Protective Services. Alex, the father, went outside to talk to them where he was thrown to the ground by police. Officers then relieved him of his house keys and proceeded to let themselves into the house with hands on their pistols. Then, still with their hands on their pistols, they told the mother "I'm going to grab your baby, and don't resist and don't fight me..."  The child was then ripped from his mother's arms and placed into state custody, where he remained for a week. Yesterday, a Sacramento County judge ordered that Sammy be transferred to a hospital in Palo Alto (120 miles away), and that his parents finally be given unfettered access to their son... under the condition that the State of California's Child Protective Services continue to monitor the 'situation'. Guns. Cops. Government bureaucrats. Courts. Kidnapping. A dysfunctional medical care system. This is what it means to be in the Land of the Free... where collecting rainwater, consuming raw milk, or seeking a second opinion on your child's medical care is now criminalized. When you don't even have the basic right to make decisions about your own child... and when your own child can be forced from you at gunpoint in your own home that was entered illegally... you know that freedom has officially hit the waste bin of history. Perhaps the greatest irony is that the parents are originally from Russia... but they had to come to the United States to find the Soviet Union. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now, when? |
