THIS IS ALL IN MY OPINION!!!
NONE OF THE POSSIBLE SCENARIOS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH JF OR KB- only POSSIBLE situations that would warrant a call to Social Services.
I commented a day or so ago. It is my opinion that they saw signs of abuse on Kelsey's body during various stages of her labor and delivery. IMO the staff removed baby immediately after delivery and point blank asked for an explanation for what they may have seen.
Could have been older yellow (days old bruising) fresh bruises or even signs on PF like scratches on or near his face.
They would have been asked to explain why either of them had any marks that were "red flags".
In my experience ,the answers do not explain the visual evidence.
For example. "Oh I fell down the stairs." And there is bruising on both the front and back of the legs or the bruising is obviously a hand print, fingers or even in the shape of knuckles, say around the rib area.
Someone could have heard him threaten her outright that he would remove the child from her room or harm the baby if she didnt comply with his wishes.
For example, "if you dont let me sign the birth certificate, you'll never see your baby again." Or "you will split custody with me or I'll kill that baby".
Whatever it was it had to be pretty serious.
It could have even been something someone overheard him saying to someone else outside of the room, say on his cell phone.
He could have told the staff that she was an alcoholic and on drugs, just like he did to other people, and it was necessary to draw labs and do a drug screen to ensure that his accusations were untrue.
IMO he was confronted very matter of factly, why they were doing what they did and the fact that they were questioning him and doing a follow up investigation and not taking him at his word, would have been enough for him to go off on them.
I'm sure they didn't mince words with him and he wasn't in a position to be able to convince them otherwise.
It may have simply been that when asked questions he didn't allow her to answer them. That was ALWAYS a big red flag with us. That usually means that the woman is in some type of abusive situation.
People are usually on their best behavior even during labor and delivery. They want to present themselves as competent parents.
The simple fact that he was unable to control his emotions in their presence is also a red flag. If they will speak to the mother of their child like that in their presence, it is very likely that behind closed doors, the behavior is much worse.
Personally I'm of the belief that they saw signs of physical abuse and it was reported and documented and a decision was made to remove the child and call in SS, until a decision was made that she would be safe in the room with both if them.
Many rooms have hidden video cameras and the ability to listen to conversations in the room without their knowledge.
I know every pediatric hospital where I have ever worked did.
That's how many women with muenchausen by proxy are caught.
You have probably seen the videos yourself on tv.
I am in NO WAY suggesting that this was done due to anything that Kelsey said or did.
Then again it could have been. She probably arrived by herself before PF and most women at some point during the admission process are asked do you have a reason to fear your significant other.
Maybe she told them yes, I do.
This will be interesting to find out, although it may be years before we know.
It also could just be hospital policy. Where my grandson was born, the parents got 1 hour to bond and then 2 hours for baby to be removed from the room, where they will examine the child, perform a hearing test etc... and mom is given a chance to shower and clean up, perhaps have a snack and rest a few minutes before baby returns.
Most of the hospitals around here have gotten rid of the newborn nursery and opted for a mother baby unit, so really it is the only break a new mom gets until leaving the hospital.
All MOO
