The oppression and stigma people with mental illness have to live with is the most disgusting and unfair thing in the world. Because we have these disorders we didn't choose, it's okay for us to have our rights stolen?!! What happened SHOULD be considered DISCRIMINATION and ILLEGAL. Would they remove a child only because of your race or religion? No, so why should they be able to do it based on a DISABILITY??

Many parents who do neglect or abuse their children do NOT have a history of mental illness. I don't understand AT ALL how those two are even related. One day, I can only hope this type of injustice will be outlawed and those scumbags will have to pay for KIDNAPPING your son and taking him to another state to be raised by a family who has no business in his life. Children's services doesn't seem to care about children one bit, all that matters to them is the money they can make from stealing them.

I'm sorry I don't have actual advice for you, but this just hurts me so much that it can happen. You did nothing wrong and you deserve to have your child. I hope very much that you will have him back soon and this system can pay for what it has done!

PS-Actually, I do have advice for you. Go to the news and tell your story. Expose them for what they've done and maybe you can get more support from others that way since they'll see what's going on.
