April 7, 2023, 4:57 PM UTCA Black couple living in Dallas say their 2-week-old daughter was taken from them because they decided to have a home birth with a midwife.
Temecia Jackson says the officers arrested her husband, took his keys, used them to enter their residence and took Mila from her mother's arms. “Instantly, I felt like they had stolen my baby as I had a home birth and they are trying to say that my baby belonged to this other woman,” the mom continued, holding back tears. “I did not know where to turn. They had taken my husband from me and then took my daughter from me and I was left by myself.”
Mila remains in Dallas CPS custody and under the care of a foster family. The couple's hearing with the Dallas County's juvenile board was originally scheduled for April 6. That morning, the couple says the hearing was abruptly postponed until April 20. During the press conference, the couple said they"feel like criminals" during their visits, and claim their attempts to deliver breast milk to their newborn daughter have been denied.“For me, as a father — this is my only daughter. I can’t be a girl dad right now," Rodney Jackson said."I feel like I have ... my protection role has been stripped away from me.”
