Detective: Drugs Found Near 8-Month-Old Miya Rudd's Bassinet

Audio sucks

[@yiayiapreeper595]

The baby before going home her umbilical cord tested positive for meth. Why in the world was she sent home with her parents

[@lynnegackstetter2779]

Yup. Obviously they still think babies and small children are just like disposable lighters. When they are done with them they just toss them away.

[@ook428]

Maybe overworked doctors or staff that go over that data. But also there is a huge problem on finding people to take care of a baby. Give them love and parts of themselves, knowing the biological parents will probably get that child back. Also the people willing to do that. Some of them end up being evil shits. It's all a mess. And all the USA politics care about it weather to abolish abortion or give abortion to his money people as possible. No one cares to think about how to care for the children that are being born today!

[@HaywoodJablomi_420]

That's crazy. When I had my son I was on Medicaid and they had to send a nurse to my house a week after I brought him home to do a check up. It's wild to me that every state doesn't do that, it would probably help so man babies. Side note: I was not on drugs or anything like that, they told us it was just a mandatory check up that they do here in Utah. I was glad they did because she helped me with breastfeeding feeding because my son was having trouble latching.

In Colorado, there were a few instances I knew of personally where the hospital refused to release the baby to the parents, thank goodness. The babies were adopted locally, and one of the bio-moms, with whom I was friendly, visited her daughter regularly. Why do hospitals release babies to obviously dangerous parents?

WTF is right. Some heads need to roll. It seems like more than the druggie parents are responsible for the baby's death. The hospital should never have released her and CPS really dropped the ball. Like someone else said, what were they thinking? After taking away the other children what would make anyone think that baby would be safe with those parents?? Especially after the baby tested positive for meth at birth. This is criminal. Everyone involved is responsible.

Also, so many of them say "my kids are my life" or "I don't know what I'd do without my kids" when they're talking about them. It's like they're are trying to convince people that they care. So if they gave them up, they wouldn't be able to say those things all the time. Unfortunately, I know from experience of what I speak. I know several addicts and have a few relatives that are as well. And if u watch an arrest or any footage on documentary that covers interrogations with an addict, it's like their go-to comments, right off the bat. 🙄

[@Aliciaw867]

Wow, my son’s father yelled at me at the hospital and I couldn’t leave until I met with CPS due to his outburst ;they were concerned with our baby and I safety . Yet she was sent home with meth in her and the baby’s system! You can’t make this up!

Don’t they drug test newborns in KY, if the parents have a history of drug use? 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@PeaJayCee]

Yes but there should've been visits by CPS, after discharge, to check on Miya and drug test parents. 😢

[@autumnishotterthansummer]

I live in a neighboring state and as far as I know everyone gets drug tested through the umbilical cord blood. After my son was born the nurse told me he had the same blood type as me and when I asked how she knew and she said it was from the cord blood tests.

[@PeaJayCee]

Heartbreaking 💔 I wonder why CPS wasn't making visits after Miya was discharged? Parents should've been drug tested after mom&baby were discharged. She should've been placed in foster care imo. RIP Miya 💖

Did the mother get drug tested before take miya home???

[@gunselshaly537]

Apparently Miya's umbilical cord was tested, and came back positive for meth. That should have been enough to remove her from the bio parents.

Omg,can we at least let kids live? Apparently we can't even do that as humans....

[@angeez82]

Hospital should be SUED money put in trust for other 3 children. Miya should’ve Never been allowed to leave hospital w them. In FL testing of placenta, mom, and baby are done immediately if drugs found in system they call police and cps. Your not discharged until those test come back and are negative. The hospital failed therefore are liable in her passing. Should be sued n funds put in trust for siblings they should all be locked up in gen pop for life I said what I said!

[@teet-zi8ks]

It's sickening that majority of these comments are blaming CPS, no it's 100 percent moms fault. CPS did not choose drugs over baby. Doing drugs is a choice, it starts with a choice. Stop with Addict victim mentality.

Right again !!!!

[@Pinkpumpkingardener]

🎯

[@JennieHD999]

That’s not the point. DCF/CPS is *notorious* for “dropping the ball” & children “falling through the cracks”. It isn’t “victim mentality” with the baby tested positive for m3th and they allowed the baby to go home with the parents. They could’ve PREVENTED this, as they could’ve prevented many many similar outcomes like this.

[@carolhensley3857]

I agree although cos usually don't help at all

[@tinam761]

The point is others in the system knew and did NOT protect this baby. First responsibility is BOTH parents, not just the mother, so mom failed, dad failed, the hospital and the system failed… soooo many failed this baby. Addiction… it 💯 turns people into something else … and meth is completely over takes a person at some point. I’ve watched it happen to a close family member (in my home). That baby had two parents and as born in a hospital and … and … and… they ALL failed her. I can only hope 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼that her death now has saved her from a horrific life… that would have been highly traumatic.

@@DEEP3X402it means the mom ingested meth and just like food , the meth was traveling from the mom to the infant in the womb via the umbilical cord.

[@measheamedina1875]

@DEEP3X402 it means that while the mother was pregnant she was actively doing meth. When a pregnant mother does meth, or any illegal drugs, those drugs then pass through the placenta to the baby, which go into the embelical cord. When children are born the doctors take a piece of the cord and test it for any illegal drug use.

[@danaallen8465]

I’m totally confused about the baby not being taken away when they were still in the hospital. That’s ridiculous, it’s insane. I don’t know what the laws are in Kentucky so I can only speak for the state I live in and I can use my experience with these type of situations because I use to be a nurse. First of all, the fact that children were already taken from this family tells me that Kentucky CPS is not doing their job. There are reasons why children are taken away from their parents, they didn’t just take them away for no reasons. Therefore, if the parents want the other children back, they have to work towards it. Like getting off of drugs, cleaning the house, taking parenting classes, get a steady job, have food in the house, beds for all of the children to sleep in and, most importantly they have to detox from the drugs they use. These parents did not do the work to get the children back, obviously. All of this would’ve been in their CPS files, so why was it okay for them to take this precious baby home? The most defenseless child they had was the one they got to keep? Again, that’s insane. I have a cousin that was literally high on meth when she went into labor. They tested her urine and her baby was not allowed to go home with her when they received the proof that she had meth in her system. Which automatically means the baby will have it in her system as well. Yes, they would have to get definitive proof through an actual blood test, but in the meantime, a preliminary urine test is enough to get the baby taken into a safe home while they wait on the labs to come in. I tested plenty of people for drugs using their urine. Also, the blood test for the adult (the mother) is not going to take as long for results. Again, if the mother has it in her system when she’s about to give birth, the baby has been exposed in more ways than one. After they checked that very quickly, saw the blood test results and then looked into the fact that 3 other children were removed, they should’ve never let them walk out of that hospital with Miya. CPS needs to be overhauled in every single state in the US. This sort of thing happens way too much and it’s at least some of CPS’s fault that Miya died. CPS is culpable for all the cases that they’ve dropped. If they can’t handle the workload, CPS will need to bring in more workers. If they’re getting burned out…simply pay them more. People don’t realize how hard it is working at CPS3
