Ep 914 | Holistic Parents vs. the State of Iowa | Guest: Emily Donlin
Today we're joined by Emily Donlin, an Iowa mother who is under investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services after her newborn baby's umbilical cord tested positive for cocaine even though she has never consumed the drug. What ensued over the following few months was a nightmare for the family, including endless drug tests that all came back negative, the threat of removing the kids from the parents' care, and the installation of a state legal guardian over the baby. Emily shares the story from the beginning to where the family is at now and why, despite some wins in court, there's still a big battle ahead to clear her name.
