Medical kidnapping canceled; Child blinded and brain damaged by forced hospital treatment returned to parents after Frontline News inquiry

Ten-year-old Evelyn Young is home with her parents after nearly two months of forced treatments at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. 

No second opinions in Missouri

The treatments, which left the girl temporarily blinded and brain damaged, were continued by the force of the State of Missouri, which took custody of Evelyn when her parents attempted to take her out of the hospital for an evaluation by an independent kidney expert. The Youngs thought a second opinion would be helpful as their daughter, who freely walked into the hospital with only one symptom, edema, quickly deteriorated under the use of powerful, DNA suppressing medications. 

Better at home

The forced medicines brought Evelyn from 75 pounds to just 43 under the “care” of the hospital. She also lost most of her reading and math cognitive abilities and went temporarily blind before recovering partial sight. Her mother reports that after just one day at home one of her symptoms is already improving:

That former indentation is where the "rash" was on the Oct 15 picture and still is (healing better, rapidly now, without their toxic ointment and with our herbal salve).

To publicize or not?

CPS agents generally push parents to allow them into their homes during an unexpected first visit without a search warrant. Parents often assume that being cooperative is the best way to proceed so that the agents will see that they have nothing to hide. 

Many who have gone through CPS investigations advise otherwise, imploring even completely innocent parents to lock the door on CPS agents. Evelyn’s mother credits Evelyn’s return to her decision to hire an attorney, and to use social media to publicize the way her family was treated by both the hospital and CPS.

CPS in the spotlight

Thanks to the Youngs’ public campaign against CPS, Frontline News was able to get involved in the case and to send a detailed questionnaire to Missouri CPS inquiring about the extent to which agents were aware of the political views of Evelyn’s homeschooling, religious parents who research natural alternatives to medicinal therapy and avoid vaccines. 

The Frontline News inquiry also requested details about the monetary incentives and conflicts of interest facing CPS agents, since the billions of dollars that fund their salaries are tracked to how many child removals are carried out, with more money provided for longer or permanent removals.

State Departments of Human Resources (DHR) and affiliates are given a baseline number of expected adoptions based on population. For every child DHR and CPS can get adopted, there is the bonus of $4,000 or maybe $6,000. But that is only the beginning figure in the formula in which each bonus is multiplied by the percentage that the State has managed to exceed its baseline adoption number.

Our inquiry also asked:

What safeguards do you have in place to monitor whether Evelyn is safer in state or foster care than with her parents, in light of the fact that children are much more likely to die or be abused in foster care than in parental care?

While CPS did not respond to our inquiries, the child was released and her parents are asking the public to pray that the CPS case against them is dismissed at the upcoming November 9th hearing. 


Other inquiries to CPS

The turnaround in the case of Evelyn mirrors that of Baby Cyrus. The Idaho CPS returned custody of Baby Cyrus, to his religious and conservative parents who also shunned the mRNA injections, after a Frontline News inquiry asked about CPS’s familiarity with their political views and why the mere fact that the baby lost weight from vomiting bouts, when being weaned, justified removal.

Likewise, CPS of Massachusetts has toned down its aggressive investigation of a rabbi who wrote thousands of mRNA injection exemptions, for following a second medical opinion about the need for an operation on one of his twelve children, after Frontline News sent inquiries to that department’s commissioner.
