Bring Zephaniah Home
Ms. Sellers is a 31 year old female who arrived at a hospital in Kentucky on May 16, 2021 to give birth to her baby boy, Zephaniah Without just cause, Ms. Sellers newborn was ripped from her hands by Child Protective Services(CPS) on May 19, 2021. 2 days after Zephaniah’s birth. Ms. Sellers has been denied her right to be heard on the deprivation of her parental rights.
What happened?
On May 19, 2021 at only 2 days old, Zephaniah was taken from his mother unnecessarily by the Kentucky Child Protection System (CPS). Zephaniah's mother was misjudged by Baptist Hospital Lexington and assaulted by law enforcement and hospital security. Ms. Sellers attempted to leave the hospital after being discharged home by a medical doctor. Ms. Sellers rights were violated and she was held against her will at the hospital. Ms. Sellers has not neglected her newborn but yet she is forced to face another day without her child in her custody. This is NOT right. This is NOT justice. We must STOP CPS from hurting this family.
