The Ferris Case

HSLDA members Scott and Jody Ferris faced hostile medical staff during Jodi’s postpartum care and lost custody of their newborn daughter when they simply questioned whether certain medical procedures were necessary. Since HSLDA’s original filing of the suit against the hospital workers and a social services investigator in April 2012, we have filed an amended complaint, adding specific allegations concerning the conduct of the medical staff which led to the involvement of social services.
