LANSING, Mich. (WJBK) – Chanting “free Bree” a group of about a hundred protesters gathered outside state welfare offices in Lansing, Tuesday. They’re upset over the state’s decision to remove a 6-month-old baby from her parents’ home because they grow and use medical marijuana. The parents claim they have a state sanctioned license to do so.

Maria and Gordon Steven Green use medical marijuana to treat Gordon’s multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. A referee made the decision to have Michigan Child Protective Services remove baby Bree, saying the Green’s home is unsafe. “They were worried about the possibility of a break in or armed robbery, that kind of thing,” said Maria Green.

The baby is now in the care of Maria’s mother. Mrs. Green says The Department of Human Services is “stealing” her baby. The Greens insist their home is a safe and loving environment.

Tim Skubick reports that the state of Michigan will not comment about details on cases like this because of privacy issues but the Director of Human Services said this: “The safety and the well being of the child is paramount for any of our investigators when they are doing their job,” said DHS spokesman David Ackerly.

Now the family is fighting back with the help of a coalition of attorney, parents, students and legislators. They’re calling on the state to recognize and adhere to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, and stop removing children from the homes of licensed medical marijuana caregivers and patients. “We’re not going to take it anymore. This is our red line, you take away our kids and we’ll revolt,” said Detroit attorney Thomas Lavigne.

PRESS RELEASE FROM MICHIGAN MOMS UNITED

CPS: Stop Taking Children from Michigan — Medical Marijuana Patients and Caregivers

LANSING, MI—On Tuesday, September 17th, a coalition of attorneys, parents, students and legislators will call on the State of Michigan to immediately recognize and adhere to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (The Act), and stop removing children from the homes of licensed medical marijuana caregivers and patients. At least three families who have been targeted by CPS will be speaking to media.

WHAT: Press conference and protest to address the removal of children from licensed medical marijuana caregivers and patients
WHERE: Department of Human Services, 235 S Grand Ave, Lansing, MI 48933
WHEN: Tuesday, September 17th, 12 Noon
WHO: State Rep. Jeff Irwin, Attorneys Thomas Lavigne and Joshua Covert, Steve and Maria Green and other families from across Michigan who have their children removed by CPS due to their status as a medical marijuana patient or caregiver.

The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act was passed with overwhelming support in 2008. Specific protections were written into that voter-initiated law to protect families from removing children from the homes of caregivers and patients who register with the State.

Five years after the enactment of our law, Michigan Child Protective Services (CPS) continues to unjustly remove children from the homes of state sanctioned medical marijuana patients and caregivers.

Michigan Moms United Founder Charmie Gholson said, “Last Friday an Ingham county judge removed 6 month-old Bree Green from her loving parents, despite their status as state-sanctioned medical marijuana patients and caregivers. This is just one of many, widespread incidents throughout Michigan involving CPS agencies that disregard the clearly written protections provided in the Act. Michigan Moms United calls on the State to immediately return this infant to her parents, and adhere to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act.”

  1. The medical marijuana registry is a set up that we will see on down the line with users losing their gun rights and child custody rights

  2. These social worker motherf*^kers will be on the short list once the Zionist bankers and their bought off politicians get that hemp rope broke in.

      1. And they will rightfully deserve their turn on the rope too! It seems that the government on every level is becoming totally out of control and growing bolder the more they get away with!

        1. That’s because America is turning into the Final Babylon

          What if the Antichrist were an American leader? What if he were alive today and living in the U.S.A? What if he were only a few years away from revealing himself to the world? Instead of being omitted from Bible prophecy as many of the major eschatology scholars have taught for decades, what if America were at the very center of Bible prophecy? What if the U.S.A., rather than Europe, Rome, or Babylon, were the power base of Satan’s conspiracy against the Kingdom of God? These three authors, Douglas W. Krieger, Dene McGriff, and S. Douglas Woodward, argue just that. Together, they have written what may be seen as a landmark book rethinking the traditional prophetic scenario in light of developments in America and the Middle East. Combined, these authors bring over 100 years of study, teaching, and writing to the subject of Bible prophecy. The amazing blend of their respective backgrounds in the foreign services, evangelical ministries, and corporate America, lends unsurpassed credibility to their stunning and remarkably fresh presentation. In some respects, The Final Babylon is a classic prophecy book, rich in exegesis of key scriptures most often overlooked or misinterpreted. The implications are life changing. Reading The Final Babylon, America and the Coming of Antichrist will awaken you to what has been happening right in front of our eyes that we simply couldn’t see due to our love of country and our faulty assumptions concerning the antagonists in the traditional prophetic scenario. This book may change your politics, your view of the Bible, and what you do day-to-day.
