Because of the many problems Traina exhibited from childhood, his life included a number of psychiatric hospitalizations for drug abuse and for treatment of bipolar disorder. While his mother wrote that she tried everything at her disposal to get him the proper medical help, Traina at 19 died of a self-administered morphine overdose at the home of Julie Campbell; a family friend.[2]
Traina was interred in Cypress Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Colma, California. His mother told his life story and of the struggles with his illness in her 1998 book titled "His Bright Light: The Story of Nick Traina."

So you and your girlfriend have this problem.
You might want to keep in mind That Bi-Polar is Heritable. You would not want your children to go thru this would you?
Your problem is likely stress and diet related. Too much MSG and Aspartame??
So the subject child had other problems....
And the mother locked herself in her house....
Regardless...law enforcement had no business getting involved. It is not their job to make you take your meds nor to make you give them to your children.
I would Have locked myself and child up also if I knew that I was going to be forced to give MY child meds that had such a strong negative affect on them! Were other options and medicines discussed or tried? Maybe there isn't enough info here to form such strong opinions, or is it possible the MSM put a particular spin on this story? I believe most of us are in an uproar over the simple fact that the PTB stuck their noses where they DON'T belong.

I have not seen another source posted for this "incident". Can someone please show me some kind of written document about this? So, you know, I can find out who was in the wrong.
Yep, confirmation bias will do that, leading to selective reading and just like sleeping in a cave all day long only to come out and point at the nighttime sky and declare you see no evidence of a sun you have ignored the links that were provided in this thread so you can now place quotation marks around the word "incident".
Of course, you could have easily Googled Maryanne Godboldo and found plenty of corroboration for this story, but no, you instead pretend like there were not links provided by you in this thread and so it must only be an "incident".
Maryanne Godboldo’s attorney says when a CPS caseworker came to take her 13-year-old daughter in March – Godboldo demanded to see the court order authorizing the child’s removal from her home. Allison Folmar says her client never got a good look at the order before the situation spiraled out of control, with allegations that Godboldo fired a shot, followed by a lengthy police standoff.

“The order was never verified; it was never confirmed as to whether or not this is actually an order. The police met the CPS worker on the street, she hands them a piece of paper that is not officially filed with the county, it has a rubber stamp, and it’s not completely filled out,” said Folmar.
Right, so me asking for some kind of proof that is not spliced footage and scary background music is "confirmation bias"? I asked for some kind of sources, you claim there is one already posted. I didn't see it and yet instead of re-posting it to enlighten my ignorance you chastise me for not instantly taking a youtube video at face value

I'm sorry. But once they show up with guns and tanks, it is a war.
The day they show up with guns and tanks is the day that I die.
I don't think I would be able to be calm and level headed like that mom is. Dammit, I am free and will not have to prove it in court. It is a shame that this lady had to ask for her rights rather than just live them.

The situation first caught headlines when 58-year-old Maryanne Godboldo entered a standoff with Detroit Police in late March that lasted nearly 12 hours. It began when Maryanne fired a shot at a CPS worker and police escort who arrived at her home in an attempt to take her 13-year-old daughter. CPS workers were there to take the girl after reports surfaced that the mother refused to give the child needed medication. Maryanne Godboldo has said the state wanted her daughter to take a drug for psychosis, but she favors a holistic treatment. detroit.cbslocal.com...
From a non-emotional viewpoint. This was probably a dangerous area of Detroit. #1 protect law enforcement.
Personally - - I'd say the tank and SWAT - - - reveals more about the area they went into then anything else.
For me - - the dramatization should not be about the precautions required to protect law enforcement.

That coupled with the barricading the daughter in the house might be able to justify their presence.
I have seen similar situations such as this in which the children end up dead(Powell).

Law enforcement does not make decisions - - they only enforce them.

The focus here is backwards to me. Kind of reminds me of that kid recently - - who was brought to the US because of a large tumor. He is from the most dangerous area in Mexico and was driven out in an armored car.
For me - - the dramatization should not be about the precautions required to protect law enforcement.
