I'm going to take your baby, don't resist.

In my book this is kidnapping and would be met with appropriate levels of force.

The next day police showed up at the Nikolayev’s home with representatives from Child Protective Services (CPS). Alex went outside to meet them, where he says he was “pushed against the building.” When he asked if he was being placed under arrest, he said they “smacked me down onto the ground [and] yelled out, ‘I think I got the keys to the house.’”

Seeing the scene outside, Anna set up a camera in front of her door.


Video shows police letting themselves in without a warrant, and taking the baby.


“I’m going to grab your baby, and don’t resist, and don’t fight me okay?” one officer can be heard telling the mother in the video.

I know, I saw this earlier. This is getting really out of hand with LE just doing what they want regardless of the law.

Thank you, the honest LE out there for what you do. We greatly appreciate the work and sacrifice that you and your families do on our behalf. Please do not fall into the political trap and always remember your oath that you gave to us.

Fortunately for this child, his parents were a little more level-headed. While I understand the sentiment it would've ended far worse than it did for everyone involved.

The police probably had nothing to do with this other than to escort CPS to the home after being told there's a child in danger. You can resist all you want and your "appropriate levels of force" would've been met with even more force over which you wouldn't be able to prevail. And how would that turn out for your child or your wife? Or you?

No, these parents were smarter than that. Yes, it's a severe injustice and it's a disgrace. No question. But in the end, I bet the courts side with the parents and I bet someone will be made to pay big $$.

[Chad4000]

what if the courts dont?

this is scary stuff.... you have to pick your battles obviously, but damn....

I thoguth before I reaad the story there was more to it ... in that the parents were bad....


but holy crap more to the story in that all involved ( on the governments side.. cops and CPS) need to be brought up on charges.

Sounds a bit like the Doctor " god complex" reared it's ugly head. And doctor didn't like his diagnosis being challenged.

I may or may not have a heart murmur.... I've had 2 docs say I do .. 3 say I don't... of the 2 that say I do .. one say its bad.. the other say its very minor...

He acknowledges that the couple erred in taking their baby from Sutter Memorial without a proper discharge,

Fuck that. I was once at an Urgent care and I did not like the staff that was working at all. They were literally, IMHO, trying to scare my wife into un-necessary tests for my son, and I told the male nurse that he had better go get someone who could explain wtf he was talking about better, or we were leaving right then. He got an actual doctor who agreed that the tests were not 100% nec. and we could simply keep an eye on the little guys symptoms and come back in the AM. The first guy was a dick, and I was a thin line from an assault charge.
I get that in our litigious society medical professionals are scared as cats in the dog pound, and of course they are out for every single dollar they can bring in, but that crap is getting old fast. And obviously, if you dont agree to it they get pissy and crap like the article happens. Its for your own good citizen, relax. Enhance your calm citizen.
