What would you do if your babies were taken from you by the very ones put in place to protect you?
That is a question that former American Idol Syesha Mercado is answering right now as Florida authorities took her second child earlier last week, Black Enterprise reported.
The third-place finalist from the reality singing competition faced her youngest child being taken away from her — her first child was also taken by authorities.
Mercado posted a video clip on Instagram Live as the hour-long situation took place in Florida, according to the article.
According to The Herald-Tribune, last Wednesday morning, Manatee County sheriff’s deputies swarmed a car where Mercado sat with her 10-day-old baby girl, along with the father of the child, Tyron Deener. According to the story, police officers had the couple pull over and two of the deputies gave them a court order to turn over the newborn infant for a checkup at the hospital.
A GoFundMe account, “The Legalized Kidnapping of Black Babies Through CPS,” was set up previously to help in the fight to bring the son, Amen’Ra back to them.
