00:01:50.000 Hey, I've got to go.
00:01:52.000 Hold on.
00:01:54.000 Just a minute.
00:01:56.000 Sure.
00:02:01.000 Hello.
00:02:02.000 Can I help you?
00:02:03.000 Yeah.
00:02:04.000 Just here to watch a child kidnap and government sanctioned.
00:02:08.000 You're violating our policy right now.
00:02:10.000 Policy?
00:02:10.000 It's called the First Amendment?
00:02:11.000 No, sir.
00:02:12.000 No, sir.
00:02:12.000 We have a policy here at Brackenridge, and you are required to sign them.
00:02:16.000 Violate my civil rights. 0.54
00:02:17.000 Let's do it.
00:02:18.000 See, because I got $300,000.
00:02:19.000 These poor people don't. 0.97
00:02:21.000 I want you all in court.
00:02:22.000 I've seen you.
00:02:23.000 I've been to these courts where you kidnap these kids a hundred times.
00:02:26.000 This isn't America.
00:02:27.000 We have nothing to do with any of that.
00:02:29.000 You're following orders.
00:02:30.000 Sir, all I'm telling you is I have a policy that I have to follow.
00:02:33.000 And in order to follow that policy.
00:02:35.000 And we've already gotten eight tapes out of here, just so you know.
00:02:38.000 It's fine.
00:02:39.000 That's okay.
00:02:39.000 It's good.
00:02:40.000 For right now, that's what you need.
00:02:41.000 What are you doing, sir?
00:02:43.000 Listening to you.
00:02:44.000 You sure seem aggressive kidnapping children.
00:02:46.000 Excuse me, sir.
00:02:48.000 We would ask that you cooperate with us.
00:02:51.000 We know you're racketeering and getting children for the federal government.
00:02:55.000 It's funny when you do all this, isn't it?
00:02:57.000 You can cooperate, you can leave, and I will have you escorted.
00:03:00.000 You'll have me escorted?
00:03:01.000 I will have you escorted.
00:03:01.000 For what?
00:03:02.000 I've been called here by this family.
00:03:03.000 You're causing a disruption to this facility and our patients.
00:03:07.000 You're causing a disruption.
00:03:08.000 You're causing a disruption right now to this facility and our patients.
00:03:12.000 I'm asking you politely to follow my policy.
00:03:15.000 I'm going to talk now.
00:03:16.000 No, sir.
00:03:16.000 I will have you know.
00:03:17.000 I will have you know that...
00:03:19.000 We understand this family has to leave before police were here with no warrants, no nothing, and that you're now engaging in false arrest.
00:03:25.000 Sir, nobody is under arrest.
00:03:27.000 That family has to leave and has been kidnapped in your hospital.
00:03:30.000 Sir.
00:03:31.000 On the record.
00:03:31.000 We've got witnesses.
00:03:32.000 This is a great case.
00:03:33.000 I have nothing to do with it.
00:03:35.000 Hear about Massachusetts, the big cases they just lost?
00:03:38.000 Excuse me.
00:03:39.000 One more time.
00:03:41.000 One more time.
00:03:44.000 Well, you can go ahead.
00:03:46.000 I was called here by a family.
00:03:49.000 Come in here.
00:03:51.000 He's alright.
00:03:52.000 This family called me here.
00:03:54.000 There you go.
00:03:54.000 There's the family calling me.
00:03:55.000 Okay.
00:03:57.000 Oh, call me the mother, but that's okay.
00:03:59.000 You notice.
00:04:00.000 No one's been arrested, but it's color of law.
00:04:02.000 Civil rights violation.
00:04:04.000 Color of law.
00:04:05.000 Let me understand something.
00:04:06.000 RICO statute.
00:04:07.000 Visitor or no visitor, if you cause a disruption, you will be asked to leave, and I will have you escorted.
00:04:13.000 You're the one raising your voice.
00:04:13.000 You're the one raising your voice.
00:04:14.000 I'm telling you firmly right now.
00:04:16.000 Right now.
00:04:17.000 Okay?
00:04:18.000 Go ahead.
00:04:18.000 If you're...
00:04:19.000 An invited guest, you can see that person as long as you do not create a ruckus or disrupt any of the other persons in this facility.
00:04:27.000 Sir, do you understand?
00:04:29.000 You're racketeering.
00:04:30.000 Sir, do you understand?
00:04:31.000 I understand there's a racketeering move going here.
00:04:33.000 We're going to stop your racketeering.
00:04:34.000 You understand.
00:04:35.000 Absolutely.
00:04:36.000 Alex Jones is on the case.
00:04:37.000 I've ignored this CPS. You're running to me.
00:04:40.000 You're going to jail, buddy.
00:04:41.000 Officer just assaulted me to get a...
00:04:43.000 Good tactic.
00:04:44.000 Good tactic.
00:04:46.000 Good move, sir.
00:04:47.000 I know it's Russian.
00:04:48.000 Yeah.
00:04:49.000 Let's just calm down.
00:04:50.000 Good job on that camera shot on that.
00:04:51.000 Good.
00:04:52.000 Calm down.
00:04:52.000 Officer, you just assaulted me for the process.
00:04:56.000 Good move.
00:04:57.000 Classical cop tactic.
00:04:58.000 Do we need to get APD out?
00:04:59.000 I think you may need to.
00:05:00.000 We all want him to leave.
00:05:01.000 This man is your security.
00:05:02.000 Let's put him off property.
00:05:03.000 I would like more police here.
00:05:05.000 I was just assaulted by the false charges.
00:05:07.000 Take him off property.
00:05:08.000 I was just assaulted.
00:05:09.000 Take him off property.
00:05:11.000 I was just assaulted by a sheriff's deputy.
00:05:14.000 Good.
00:05:14.000 Mike, come get footage of this, please.
00:05:16.000 You'll need to follow this.
00:05:17.000 Good.
00:05:17.000 For the record, come down to it.
00:05:19.000 They're going to try to block you off while they get this tape.
00:05:21.000 Good.
00:05:22.000 We've got the other tapes.
00:05:27.000 You guys, man, I am leaving this country.
00:05:30.000 God, this country's gone.
00:05:31.000 All right.
00:05:34.000 Anything else that you want to do, that's okay.
00:05:37.000 God, I am.
00:05:38.000 boy I can't wait.
00:05:47.000 You can do it in here.
00:05:49.000 We have it all on tape.
00:05:50.000 And that old cop trying to assault us.
00:05:54.000 Oh, this is...
00:06:00.000 I'll watch out.
00:06:01.000 We'll get your kids in this hospital. 0.91
00:06:06.000 Robert, to the left and then to the right again.
00:06:12.000 Yeah, go cover it, Mike.
00:06:14.000 Kidnappers.
00:06:15.000 To the right, sir.
00:06:16.000 Sanctioned government, sanctioned kidnapping in this building.
00:06:22.000 Boy.
00:06:24.000 You're going to be a star, buddy.
00:06:25.000 Thank you.
00:06:28.000 Thank you.
00:06:29.000 You like taking people's kids?
00:06:35.000 You're sick.
00:06:36.000 God, you people are sick.
00:06:38.000 I was in the court on that case.
00:06:40.000 That little woman did nothing. 1.00
00:06:41.000 Just as she was ignorant and poor, they took her kid, the adoption racket, and you people sit here and smile about it.
00:06:47.000 God, this country's sick.
00:06:49.000 Mike, can we get all this?
00:06:51.000 What's Robert with me?
00:06:52.000 Good.
00:06:53.000 There it is.
00:06:54.000 It's fixed.
00:06:54.000 Yeah.
00:06:54.000 Is that what it was?
00:06:55.000 I guarantee they won't let me back.
00:06:57.000 What you're talking about was the New World Order that I got in my mind more about talking about.
00:07:03.000 I mean, the police day was amazing.
00:07:05.000 It drove me crazy.
00:07:05.000 I had to cut everything.
00:07:07.000 No good deed goes unpunished.
00:07:21.000 That's funny.
00:07:25.000 I go out here to try to save this kid from getting grabbed by the CPS. I run in, I think about the child, and there's the meter maid, handing out tickets.
00:07:37.000 I mean, only in America, folks.
00:07:40.000 Only in America.
00:07:44.000 Rotten cesspool of the universe, America.
00:07:48.000 How's it going?
00:07:50.000 Man, I ran in there for 10 minutes.
00:07:52.000 I bet you just gave me one of them babies. 1.00
00:07:56.000 Hey, but just doing your job, huh?
00:08:00.000 All part of the free country!
00:08:02.000 Meter Maid's already been there. 1.00
00:08:12.000 Then he's gonna hit the next one.
00:08:16.000 Hey, I thought he just got a ticket.
00:08:19.000 But no, he gets another one.
00:08:21.000 Yeah, well, escape.
00:08:28.000 You only got a few seconds here.
00:08:29.000 Run while you can, man.
00:08:31.000 Inside the hospital, they're grabbing kids.
00:08:33.000 Outside, they're getting tickets.
00:08:37.000 It's all part of being fed upon.
00:08:41.000 There's my truck way down there.
00:08:42.000 No doubt it's got a meter made all over it.
00:08:45.000 Well, that's just America.
00:08:47.000 Boy, you get a suntan on a day like this.
00:08:57.000 The hospital is the prison camp, just like with eugenics or Nazi Germany. 0.85
00:09:02.000 They find that people have a lot more tyranny if it's with the witch doctors. 0.58
00:09:07.000 And there you have it.
00:09:10.000 Oh! 0.60
00:09:12.000 You got your one, huh?
00:09:13.000 Ran in to fight for the country. 0.77
00:09:15.000 This is what I get.
00:09:16.000 So grabbing a child, other arm of government hits me and hits me hard.
00:09:21.000 ...away from you, right?
00:09:22.000 Right.
00:09:23.000 There's no reason at all.
00:09:24.000 And let's make it clear to the audience that the CPS is outside the door right now.
00:09:28.000 Yes.
00:09:29.000 The CPS worker, and I've already talked to her, told her that I was involved with this situation.
00:09:34.000 She's going to call the supervisor back and...
00:09:36.000 And we should know in about 10 minutes whether they're going to take the baby or not.
00:09:40.000 You want your baby, your husband wants your baby, and you do not want them to take it, right? 1.00
00:09:45.000 Right.
00:09:46.000 It's your God-given right to have your baby with you.
00:09:49.000 Yes, it is.
00:09:50.000 And I fear for her life if they take the baby.
00:09:55.000 This CPS case, Ruben that's here today, said that she didn't see that that was any problem as long as there was a roof over our kid's head.
00:10:04.000 And they took our kid last time because they said we didn't have proper housing.
00:10:11.000 And that's not right.
00:10:14.000 In this case, Rivers said that she thought that was proper housing.
00:10:17.000 But the last case, Rivers took our kid because they said it wasn't proper.
00:10:22.000 Yeah, but being poor is not a reason to take children. 0.99
00:10:25.000 This case worker here said that they shouldn't have took Holly because they were them.
00:10:29.000 They're not letting me out of my room now.
00:10:35.000 All right.
00:10:39.000 At risk, hold on.
00:10:40.000 You tell him, Robby.
00:10:41.000 Tell him, hold on, Alex.
00:10:42.000 Go ahead, tell him.
00:10:45.000 We were living in a motel and they said it wasn't proper housing.
00:10:49.000 But we've been in proper housing for almost two years now.
00:10:53.000 And now they're trying to say we're at risk of being homeless.
00:10:55.000 They want to take this baby away.
00:10:57.000 No, we're not at risk.
00:10:58.000 They went to get a guy named Dylan and I think that's the police.
00:11:01.000 I think it's probably the head of the police.
00:11:04.000 Oh, I didn't take my baby off.
00:11:06.000 Robin, keep, I mean, Robert, whatever you do, keep that going.
00:11:11.000 Yeah.
00:11:13.000 Come get me if they arrest me.
00:11:16.000 Yeah.
00:11:17.000 Well, I didn't do anything.
00:11:20.000 If they tell us to leave, we're going to have to leave.
00:11:21.000 To be mine.
00:11:21.000 Okay.
00:11:22.000 No, I'm not, but I'm...
00:11:23.000 But I'm asking security to come, because that's our program.
00:11:26.000 Okay.
00:11:26.000 All right.
00:11:27.000 It's making fun for her to be here.
00:11:29.000 Oh, we're okay.
00:11:30.000 Yeah, we're okay.
00:11:31.000 10-12.
00:11:32.000 10-12.
00:11:33.000 Oh, yeah.
00:11:34.000 Yeah, we're always coming on.
00:11:36.000 10-12 last night.
00:11:37.000 Okay.
00:11:37.000 Thank you.
00:11:39.000 And CPS removed.
00:11:42.000 We'll cut our physical today.
00:11:45.000 They've got paperwork they've taken.
00:11:46.000 She's been lying a long time.
00:11:48.000 She's not taking her.
00:11:50.000 I have to, and I need you to sign her.
00:11:52.000 I'm not signing her.
00:11:54.000 There is no physical neglect.
00:11:56.000 You guys ain't got proof.
00:11:58.000 You guys don't have some paperwork.
00:12:00.000 We're not taking her.
00:12:03.000 This is an emergency removal.
00:12:04.000 Okay, signed by who?
00:12:06.000 It's an emergency removal that is good for 24 hours until I see the judge tomorrow.
00:12:12.000 Okay, who is it signed by?
00:12:14.000 It's just information to the family that we are removing the child.
00:12:18.000 Okay, but it's public information.
00:12:19.000 Who is it signed by?
00:12:20.000 It's not signed by anybody.
00:12:22.000 It's not signed by anybody.
00:12:24.000 Okay, we still have a right.
00:12:26.000 We legally have a right.
00:12:29.000 And I legally have the right to keep my baby in my chair.
00:12:33.000 They said that she could leave, and they were on their way out the door.
00:12:36.000 Who said she could leave? 0.64
00:12:37.000 The hospital.
00:12:38.000 Okay.
00:12:39.000 Not with the baby.
00:12:40.000 Yes, with the baby.
00:12:42.000 Without the baby.
00:12:42.000 She can leave.
00:12:44.000 Anybody else who's in here wants to leave, she can leave, but not the baby.
00:12:47.000 The baby's staying here.
00:12:48.000 No, the baby's not.
00:12:49.000 The baby's not even supposed to be discharged until tomorrow.
00:12:52.000 Well, you all took my kid last time on the second day.
00:12:55.000 Now, what are you saying to that for?
00:12:57.000 Well, the child is going to stay here.
00:12:59.000 No, she's not.
00:13:01.000 Unless you get a court order.
00:13:02.000 Until you get a court order.
00:13:03.000 We have legal rights.
00:13:05.000 Go get a court order.
00:13:07.000 Hold on, hold on.
00:13:09.000 Let's be calm here.
00:13:10.000 Let's be calm.
00:13:11.000 She's a nice woman, you're a nice woman, and he's a nice man, I hope.
00:13:15.000 Is it...
00:13:16.000 Who is backing up the papers?
00:13:20.000 Judge Meir and Judge McGowan.
00:13:22.000 Okay, Judge Meir.
00:13:23.000 Will or has?
00:13:25.000 That's what I'm concerned about.
00:13:26.000 Will.
00:13:27.000 Will.
00:13:27.000 I mean, we have 24 hours from the date that we remove the child.
00:13:32.000 Okay, but she's not doing anything.
00:13:34.000 We have documented that this woman has taken care of her baby.
00:13:38.000 She's fed her baby on time.
00:13:39.000 And there's no neglect here.
00:13:42.000 Physical, doesn't it?
00:13:44.000 Oh, God.
00:13:44.000 Physical?
00:13:45.000 Oh, my God.
00:13:46.000 Just based on history.
00:13:48.000 I really am shocked to be American at this time.
00:13:55.000 I'm very shocked.
00:13:56.000 I was calling my family.
00:14:00.000 Come in here and be, you know, he's all right.
00:14:04.000 Law.
00:14:04.000 Civil rights violation.
00:14:06.000 Color of law.
00:14:06.000 Let me understand something.
00:14:08.000 Whether it's a visitor or no visitor, if you cause a disruption, you will be asked to leave, and I will have you escort.
00:14:14.000 You're the one raising your voice.
00:14:15.000 I'm telling you firmly right now.
00:14:17.000 Right now.
00:14:19.000 Okay?
00:14:19.000 Go ahead.
00:14:20.000 If you're an invited guest, you can see that person as long as you do not create a ruckus or disrupt any of the other persons in this facility.
00:14:29.000 Sir, do you understand?
00:14:31.000 You're racketeering.
00:14:32.000 Sir, do you understand?
00:14:33.000 I understand there's a racketeering move going here.
00:14:35.000 We're going to stop your racketeering.
00:14:36.000 You understand?
00:14:37.000 Absolutely.
00:14:38.000 Alex Jones is on the case.
00:14:39.000 I've ignored this CPS. You're running to me.
00:14:41.000 You're going to jail.
00:14:42.000 Officer just assaulted me to get a...
00:14:44.000 Good tactic.
00:14:46.000 Good tactic.
00:14:48.000 Good move, sir.
00:14:49.000 I know it's rushing.
00:14:50.000 Let's just calm down.
00:14:52.000 Good job on that camera shot on that.
00:14:53.000 Good.
00:14:54.000 Officer, you just assaulted me for the...
00:14:57.000 Process.
00:14:57.000 Good move.
00:14:58.000 Classic old cop tactic.
00:15:00.000 Do we need to get APD out?
00:15:01.000 I think you may need to.
00:15:02.000 We all want him to leave.
00:15:03.000 This man is your security.
00:15:04.000 Let's put him off property.
00:15:05.000 I would like more police here.
00:15:06.000 I was just assaulted.
00:15:08.000 I'd like to fall charges.
00:15:09.000 Take him off property.
00:15:10.000 I was just assaulted.
00:15:11.000 Take him off property.
00:15:13.000 That's right.
00:15:14.000 There's no...
00:15:16.000 The senator said there's no court order.
00:15:17.000 There's no...
00:15:18.000 The senator said it.
00:15:20.000 I'm going to film on the way out of here because I'm not going to be assaulted like my friend was.
00:15:24.000 I'm not going to be assaulted.
00:15:26.000 That was the senator right there.
00:15:28.000 That was the senator's office?
00:15:29.000 Yeah.
00:15:30.000 Could you let me go out first?
00:15:33.000 Because I don't want anything ugly with that baby.
00:15:36.000 I don't either.
00:15:36.000 Believe me.
00:15:37.000 Why don't you let me go out first and just sort of...
00:15:39.000 If you walk into white, just five minutes or so and let me go out.
00:15:42.000 Well, that's what we've been doing all afternoon.
00:15:47.000 Look, if the police touch me, it's a civil rights lawsuit, Title 42. They know me at...
00:15:52.000 Travis County, and they know that it's wrong.
00:15:55.000 I haven't done anything.
00:15:56.000 I've been very nice to everybody.
00:15:57.000 I'm very well established in this community.
00:16:02.000 But see, you're not allowing me to help you with this.
00:16:06.000 I'm not doing anything.
00:16:08.000 just I'm not doing anything.
00:16:10.000 Senator just said I can go.
00:16:28.000 There's no nobody said the security guard has no authority.
00:16:33.000 I have custody of this child.
00:16:34.000 The senator just said I can go.
00:16:37.000 The senator said she could go.
00:16:39.000 I didn't.
00:16:41.000 What was the senator's name that Desi said?
00:16:44.000 Hello?
00:16:45.000 Yeah, oh my god.
00:16:48.000 Stay with me on the phone, Carrie, please.
00:16:50.000 They're trying to follow the CPS and now the police are coming.
00:16:58.000 No.
00:16:59.000 Sir, there's no warrant.
00:17:01.000 I just checked it out.
00:17:02.000 I just checked it out.
00:17:03.000 There's no warrant.
00:17:04.000 You can't stop a woman with her own baby. 1.00
00:17:10.000 Please.
00:17:11.000 Please, sir.
00:17:14.000 Please, let's stay calm.
00:17:15.000 Let's stay calm.
00:17:16.000 Because the senator said she could do it.
00:17:18.000 Don't, sir.
00:17:19.000 You can't stop.
00:17:22.000 No!
00:17:24.000 Please!
00:17:25.000 The senator said she could go.
00:17:26.000 There's no court.
00:17:27.000 There's no court order.
00:17:30.000 Please!
00:17:32.000 Please!
00:17:33.000 Y'all are going to make this a national story if you don't let her leave. 0.98
00:17:36.000 Just kidnap her if you're kidnapping! 1.00
00:17:39.000 Please!
00:17:41.000 Anybody that has any sympathy for children, they're not letting this lady leave. 1.00
00:17:46.000 Please!
00:17:47.000 I know, but please!
00:17:48.000 Excuse me, sir.
00:17:49.000 I know, but I got it.
00:17:51.000 Let her go outside. 1.00
00:17:53.000 - You don't have to talk to me.
00:17:55.000 - Senator said I can go.
00:17:56.000 I'm home.
00:17:57.000 - Unit 14, do we have a copy of, do we have a description of something? - Senator said I can go.
00:18:02.000 - Okay, no. - Senator said I can go.
00:18:05.000 I'm going home. - I have no idea the Senateary He doesn't have anything to do with this?
00:18:08.000 I could call the senator for you right now.
00:18:09.000 He doesn't have anything to do with this.
00:18:11.000 But I saw the order.
00:18:12.000 There's no order, sir.
00:18:13.000 There's no court order.
00:18:14.000 And it's kidnapped.
00:18:16.000 Can we go?
00:18:17.000 Excuse me.
00:18:18.000 Can we go to a private room?
00:18:20.000 Let's go to a private room.
00:18:22.000 Please, somebody call Alex Jones and tell him that this has nothing to do with a court order.
00:18:28.000 Let's go to a private room.
00:18:30.000 Can we please go to a private room?
00:18:31.000 Let's go.
00:18:34.000 The media's on their way over here.
00:18:36.000 I hope Channel 24 and everybody else is on their way over here.
00:18:42.000 There's a private room here, but we...
00:18:44.000 They're taking us into a private room.
00:18:51.000 Yes.
00:18:54.000 Well, now they're keeping me out.
00:18:55.000 They're keeping me out now.
00:18:57.000 Sir, we're going to remind you one more time you're causing a ruckus.
00:19:02.000 I'm not.
00:19:03.000 No, I'm not causing a ruckus.
00:19:06.000 I got proof right here on the phone.
00:19:08.000 Sir, you can either cooperate or you can be escorted from the premises.
00:19:12.000 I was called to come up here as a...
00:19:14.000 I am telling you as a facility representative, you can cooperate.
00:19:19.000 Okay, I'll cooperate.
00:19:20.000 And you can keep the ruckus down or you can be escorted off the premises.
00:19:24.000 I'm not doing anything.
00:19:25.000 I'm not doing anything.
00:19:27.000 Oh my God, my civil rights are being violated.
00:19:29.000 Excuse me, sir.
00:19:30.000 If you have another outburst, you will be escorted off the premises.
00:19:33.000 Outburst?
00:19:34.000 I'm not doing anything.
00:19:36.000 Who are you for the record?
00:19:38.000 I am the director of risk management for this facility.
00:19:40.000 Okay, the director of risk management.
00:19:42.000 And if you cause another ruckus and another outburst, you will be removed from the facility.
00:19:45.000 I think that we didn't cause a ruckus, that we saw a bunch of police officers coming here.
00:19:50.000 Oh, I am not loud.
00:19:53.000 What is your name for the media here?
00:19:54.000 My name is Pam Valls.
00:19:55.000 For the American statesman.
00:19:56.000 That's fine.
00:19:57.000 That is fine.
00:19:58.000 If you create a ruckus, you will be removed.
00:20:00.000 But I haven't, though.
00:20:01.000 You have been very loud.
00:20:03.000 Oh, was I loud, ma'am?
00:20:05.000 Who was loud here?
00:20:07.000 Carrie?
00:20:08.000 Who was loud here?
00:20:11.000 Yeah.
00:20:12.000 What is your name for the record, please?
00:20:14.000 Because I'm being told I have to have to follow the order.
00:20:16.000 Yeah, but it's for the record because it's being told.
00:20:19.000 Okay, now I'm being outnumbered here by the CPS and everything, so I'm sorry, Jay.
00:20:23.000 Well, Judy, the state says that Shirley Hauser and her husband don't deserve the chance to raise their two-day-old daughter.
00:20:31.000 The question tonight is, when the state steps in and takes a baby, is it kidnapping or protecting a child from danger?
00:20:38.000 That's the focus of our top story at 6. Shirley Hauser left the hospital with a birth certificate, but no baby. 0.54
00:20:55.000 This dramatic scene at Brackenridge Hospital unfolded Tuesday as Child Protective Services took custody of two-day-old Jocelyn Hauser.
00:21:06.000 It was recorded on home video by family friend and advocate Mike Hansen.
00:21:15.000 Much of the confrontation was over this notice of emergency removal from the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services.
00:21:21.000 It was not signed by a judge, but it declared baby Jocelyn would have a risk of physical neglect if she were released with her parents.
00:21:29.000 CPS maintains it has 24 hours to get a judge's signature.
00:21:33.000 A day later, still on pain medication from a cesarean section on Sunday, Hauser longs for her baby.
00:21:40.000 I'm on my desk.
00:21:42.000 I just stayed awake.
00:21:51.000 We felt it was in the best interest of the baby that we take temporary conservatorship.
00:21:56.000 CPS spokesman Jeff Wool was at the hospital for much of the confrontation.
00:22:00.000 All I want is a chance, a chance to prove what I can do.
00:22:08.000 But I know I can do this.
00:22:12.000 But all I want is a chance.
00:22:15.000 Now the law allows CPS to remove children without permission from a judge in certain emergency situations.
00:22:22.000 Today, a Travis County judge signed a court order giving the state temporary custody of Jocelyn.
00:22:27.000 There will be another hearing within 14 days.
00:22:30.000 And Judy, this is not that uncommon.
00:22:32.000 The state removes an average of 42 children a month here in Travis County.
00:22:35.000 Thank you, Clara.
00:22:37.000 In news this morning, a Central Texas mother claims Child Protective Services has gone too far.
00:22:42.000 The state agency removed a two-day-old girl from a mother's arms because they say she was considered an unfit parent.
00:22:48.000 As KV's Ryan Korsgaard reports, the agency says they believe the infant would be physically neglected if the parents had taken her home.
00:22:58.000 This is not the home video Shirley Hauser had hoped for.
00:23:05.000 A home video camera rolled as Child Protective Services took custody of Hauser's two-day-old daughter.
00:23:16.000 They took my son from the hospital and I feel her pain.
00:23:24.000 Ramona Harris does not have custody of four of her children.
00:23:28.000 She claims it's because the state believes the children are at risk in her care.
00:23:37.000 She keeps a video camera by the front door in case the state tries to take the one child she does have custody of.
00:23:43.000 She left Texas to give birth without fear of having her newborn taken away.
00:23:54.000 She's afraid they will take her five-week-old son.
