Vermont’s child welfare agency has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging the state routinely targets and tracks pregnant women deemed unsuitable for motherhood
Vermont's child welfare agency seeks dismissal of a lawsuit alleging it illegally tracks pregnant women deemed unfit mothers. The lawsuit, filed by the ACLU and Pregnancy Justice, claims the state investigated a woman before her child's birth and seeks to end the alleged surveillance program. The state argues it has the authority to investigate potential abuse to unborn children and that family court has jurisdiction over custody decisions.
