The Washington DC Examiner has the shocking story of an Arlington County court permanently dissolving the parental rights of a special-needs child’s parents, despite the parents having been exonerated of neglect nine months earlier.
Arlington Judge Esther Wiggins Lyles signed the removal order with neither Hey nor Slitor even aware of the proceedings, much less being present to contest the decision. Sabrina went to a politically influential local professional couple with no training as foster parents, despite CPS requirements that foster couples be trained before being entrusted with children. Judge Almand later used the baby’s inappropriate removal to justify making the separation permanent, saying it would be too “traumatic” to return Sabrina to her natural parents.
No happy ending here either. This outrage has yet to be corrected.
