Authorities take second child from 'American Idol' star Syesha Mercado, prompting outcry

The reason her child was malnourished was because he was transitioning from breast feeding to solids and he refused to wean. Which is a very common problem that many mothers face when transitioning their child. I had a similar experience, and many women are sharing their experiences with this. Syesha took her baby to the hospital 3 times to get help with him, saw a lactation specialist, etc. On her third visit to get some further help, the staff was informed that she is a holistic mother and vegan. When she refused a vitamin shot (b12) until she heard from her husband, someone got CPS involved and everything spiraled. There are so many stories of medical kidnapping by CPS, including a recent podcast, Do No Harm, highlighting the corruption of CPS. This is not an isolated incident.
