Case Study:
A young mother faced allegations of neglecting her infant child from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. The allegations were filed against Mom after she spoke to a medical professional. Mom was in the hospital dealing with an illness and had been prescribed a certain kind of medication. She stated that she had experienced a bad reaction to the medicine. The reporter believed that this negatively impacted her ability to care for the child.
Due to her condition she was not the caretaker of the child. However the reporter believed this bad reaction led to the neglect of the child. The Mom found out at the hospital that she was facing allegations of neglecting her child. This was highly unsettling to the mother because she loves her child very much. The hospital staff basically made up a narrative regarding what had happened and painted the mother as a neglector. It was something that she never could have imagined. Mom felt like she was living in a nightmare, and she had been cornered in the hospital due to these false allegations.
Mom needed to find someone to disprove the allegations, so she reached out to Attorney Seaver to represent and defend her. She had a lot of confidence that Attorney Seaver would fix the problem and that he could be a rock for her. Attorney Seaver lined out a whole plan when she met with DCF to ease her stress. Once she knew she had a shield, she felt much more confident. With Attorney Seaver’s help, Mom was very prepared with all of the Department’s demands.
