Do you think CPS would do anything about this?

Question

Yesterday my ex friend breastfed my 2 month old son without my consent. He has been throwing up all day this morning and half of last night. My ex friend could possibly be Hep C positive, but the doctor has informed me that vomiting is more of a reaction to something that he may have been exposed to through her milk, and if it persists until noon, to bring him back in (he's already been in for preliminary bloodwork for hep c this morning). I gave my son colostrum for a month and a half, but stopped after that and he was put on Nutramigen for allergies. My ex friend knows he needs that special formula, NOT her possibly contaminated milk. to make matters worse, she breastfed him alongside her 14 month old who just got over bronchitis. My son has never been sick. Now he's throwing up. She informed me she did eat garlic pasta yesterday. My first instinct was to destroy her and throw her into fire, but that would land me in jail. My hubby is in Iraq, but will be able to return if it's bad.

Answer 1

WOW

i breast feed my child and would never think about putting another child ro my breast. The is just stupid. What was she thinking.

If it were me I would call CPS and The local police and report her. What a witch.

But i can say if she did it to my child she would have my fist in her face and possibly eating my elbow.

Answer 2

Wow- That's sounds like it has Jerry Springer written all over it. First, Why the heck did your Ex-friend have your baby? Or is she an ex-friend as of yesterday?
CPS probably won't do anything about it unless she actually passed Hep C to the child which would put the child in danger (how can her son breastfeed without getting it?) Your baby probably wasn't used to her milk & his tummy's upset.
Don't do anything stupid to hurt her. If you love your son & want to continue being his hands on mom, otherwise, you'll be doing it from prison. Concentrate on your son getting better, stay the heck away from her. Go talk to CPS when you have some time. You need to be strong for your little guy. They can sense your stress & that could make him sicker. You must calm down.

Answer 3

Vomiting--especially when you know your baby is allergic--probably indicates that your friend has eaten *dairy* products in the last 2 weeks. It is almost certainly what you baby is reacting to. Depending on how bad the allergy is, you need to get treatment for your child. Garlic is unlikely to be related; she may have had parmesan cheese on top.

It's too bad that you aren't nursing anymore. Breastfeeding protects a baby from allergies, and giving anything else *causes* them. But you have the right to choose how your child is raised.

I doubt CPS is the right place to turn. They protect children from their parents. You would probably have to talk to a lawyer and sue the friend or have your friend charged with assault or another crime. Honestly, I would *not* suggest you take that route.

Rather than that, either break off the friendship entirely, or just don't ever leave your child in that friend's care. If she won't respect you, then you need to find another arrangement.

Answer 4

I am SO sorry this happened to you and your baby! What an idiot your ex-friend is! What is wrong with her? However, CPS wont do anything. She did this to YOUR baby...she did nothing wrong to HER child and if she did what she did to HER child, it would be fine. Therefore, there is no valid reason to remove her child from the home. They wont do anything, hon. However, you can probably press criminal charges. What she did to your son is battery. I would go to your local police station and ask about it. But, dont go the CPS route, they wont do a thing. I work with CPS, I know.

Answer 5

I think it is your responsibility to report her to ACPS for this. She has taken a liberty with another child that could have put the childs health at risk. Please report her, and when you do, give them your pediatricians name and sign a release for them at the doctors office as well as at the CPS offices so they can check into it as well. Keep this girl away from your baby!!!! Don't overburden your Husband with details about it at this moment, because he has enough to worry about being in Iraq. If things are bad, then tell him, but for now, play it off a little to help him keep his mind in his important role he is acting in while there. Thank you to your Husband from a Marine (20 yrs ago), and thank you for being a supportive wife to your husband. God be with you all and I hope that all is well with the health and well being of your baby in this matter.

Answer 6

Sounds like that movie "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle"..anyway, CPS has to do more with THEIR own kids...I would go one step further and call the police

Answer 7

That is horrible! I would stay away from this so called friend. I can understand your anger. Ask your babies Dr what you may be able to do about this. What she did was so disgustingly wrong. I would definately seek legal advice too.

Answer 8

you dont need her as a friend. you never breast feed someone elses child. thats just plain nasty. your baby is sick because of the breaast milk. i would call cps and i would ask her why she did it. she also needs to stop breatfeedong her baby. shes getting to big for it

Answer 9

You should contact your local police department and tell them what happened, and that you think it might be negligant and that you want to press charges, my goddess, if someone did that to my child I would punch in their teeth and if they wanted to tell I would threaten their children or something....I would CRUSH anyone who possibly harmed my children...I can't even believe what I read...My goodness...Honey I would press charges totally...to the fullest extent of the law...

Answer 10

WOW. I can't even believe that. You could call and ask if you feel that strongly about it, otherwise I would just avoid that person like the plague.
