A recorded confrontation at Brackenridge Hospital shows police and Child Protective Services workers removing a newborn from Shirley Houser while she was breastfeeding. Family advocate Mike Hanson challenged the legality of the removal, noting the lack of a judge's signature on the initial paperwork. CPS workers maintained they have a 24-hour window to obtain judicial approval for emergency removals based on the parents' history rather than current evidence of neglect.
