FROM NECRO BUTCHER's BLOG:
I'm tired of explaining this over and
over again to my friends, so here it is, out here, for all to read. On
June 11, my beautiful wife, Virginia gave birth to a healthy beautiful
, and as I've learned, very hungry baby girl. Which we named Amy
Virginia. Amy is my mother's name. She went into the hospital on the
10th. On the morning of the 11th, our doctor informed us that he wanted
to speed things along and he wanted to break her water. We agreed to
this and it was done, then with the next breath out of his mouth, he
told us that my wife had marijuana in her urine and the state was
taking the baby from us. They had nothing on me, nothing on my family,
no history of drug offenses on any of us, just one failed urinalysis.
So my 22 year old wife then laid in labor for 10 hours knowing full
well her bay would be taken when it came. And taken it was. Taken from
her arms on the 12th, when I wasnt even there, my wife was alone went
she had to go through this. We were told to be patient and keep our
heads up, it would just take time, no one knew would tell us how long
though. We were told our "hearing" would be the following monday
morning. Now keep in mind, this was thursday night, with the next day
being Flag Day, with all government offices and most businesses closed.
So we could call no one for help, nothing, we had no money for a
private attorney. We had no idea what to do and no one was there to
help. Our only hope to keep our newborn daughter out of foster care was
to have my mother petition for custody while my wife completed whatever
programs they told her to. The monsters at Lawrence County Child Youth
Services told us the only was we could do that was if my wife moved out
of the house .Yeah, thats right, to keep my daughter I had to watch my
wife move out. We met our court appointed attorney 5 minutes before the
"hearing". At this "hearing" we were not allowed to speak, not allowed
to enter any plea, not allowed to explain our situation or our
feelings, nothing, we just had to sit there while they they passed
judgment on my entire family. So now me and my mom are raising this
little girl, while my wife sits alone in a near empty house on the
other side of town. My mom is the head nurse of a critical care unit,
so when she misses work, the unit is understaffed and sick people dont
get the care they need. Since the 12th, my wife has been "allowed" to
see her baby daughter twice, for 1 hour each time. And the bills are
piling up, Im now paying rent on a house for my outlaw wife to live in
and cant help my mom out as much and shes missing work to care for my
baby, so her bills are piling up. And oh yeah, the nazis at CYS
cancelled BOTH my daughter and my wife from Medicaid, since, when my
mom actually does work, she makes too much to qualify. So now no
insurance for either of them. So we wait, and through all of this, we
still have no case worker, no timeline, nothing, just a family thats
falling apart and nobody cares. I spend every minute of everyday torn
between visiting my wife or my daughter, and choosing my wife or
actually wrestling means leaving my mom with the baby. At least I get a
choice, my wife doesnt. She would violate a "court" order and lose her
parental rights for unapproved visits. And were both subject to random
drug tests now. Somehow Im sucked into this nightmare too, so I can
drink all the fucking beer I can, be a fat, lazy, drunk and thats cool,
but God fucking forbid I smoke a joint or I will be in the same boat as
my wife. The ACLU has hooked us up with a lawyer and we meet with her
on tuesday, so stay tuned. In the meantime, to all our friends, there
plenty of smoking behind us, and plenty ahead, but in the meantime,
were on the shelf.
