I mean, if your kid is constantly breaking bones and getting skull fractures, your first thought probably isn't going to be a genetic condition. I can't blame the mother for assuming it was abuse.

Yo! There was just a news story on this where CPS took both a mothers children because the medical examiner thought it was abuse. She asked for a second opinion and was denied, had her children withheld from her for about nine months and when she finally got in front of a judge, the judge was appalled at how this was handled. He ordered a second look and it was found that the child had a genetic disorder that caused his injuries to look like abuse.

This would be a terrible situation; you put yourself in legal trouble believing you're saving your daughter from abuse only to learn it was a medical condition, you separated her from her father, and you're at risk of going to jail for kidnapping and missing months, possibly years, with your daughter. I feel so bad for the mom, that "what have I done" really hits hard.

As a mother myself I honestly would have probably done the same thing if I thought my baby was being abused. The first thing that comes to mind is that the father is abusing her, I would have never thought about it being a genetic condition. I feel absolutely terrible for the mother because all she wanted was to make sure her child was safe and things took a turn on her.

"what have I done?" You tried to protect your daughter. Period.

I can’t blame the mother for thinking & doing what she did. What else was she suppose to think when her daughter constantly had broken bones? It’s just a sad situation.

“What have I done?” What any mother would do under the supposed circumstances, and tried to protect your baby.

as soon as i saw it was manning i already knew what was going to happen. child involved = quick to think it's abuse

This happened to my friend and her daughter. She had her two kids taken from her because it looked like abuse, and it took her seven years to get them back.

If the father is so rich, why couldn't he do a full workup on the child to assure his wife that he's not abusing her? Did he think it was just a-OK for the child to be deaf and keep breaking her body? And if they really trusted each other when they married, why didn't she suggest a full medical workup before being so sure he was abusing her child?

I don't blame the mum, in the same way I don't blame the hospital for calling child protective services on my parents. I have a similar genetic connective tissue disorder also caused by a defect on the gene that tells the body to produce collagen. I was a very clumsy kid (which is a characteristic of the disorder) and was always covered in bruises, scratches and had frequent joint dislocations. A doctor at the hospital called CPS as I wasn't diagnosed yet and he was shocked at the state of my body. Child abuse was an important differential to rule out, as genetic connective tissue disorders are often rare. Got diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome shortly after :-)

I believe the mother was actually a victim of abuse when she was a girl, that would explain the way she acted desperately, because of the trauma

"What have I done?" What any mother would have done if she believed her child was in serious danger. And both sadly and frankly we're not taught about disorders like this. We got no other choice but to think the worst. That's just the way our world is set up.

There is no way that child was not being abused. If the injuries ONLY happened while she was at her father’s, that still points to abuse. The condition causes weak bones, not “bones that only break at her father’s house”

Her mother thought she was protecting her from abuse but the disease is what made her this way.

Awesome how Nat handled the kid 💛

I was diagnosed with dyspraxia when I was 20. It's all about problems with balance and memory - I cannot BEGIN to quantify how many injuries I've had over the years, and I'm bloody glad there's always been multiple witnesses and that I don't bruise easily. I can only imagine the consequences otherwise 😅

First part of the video that may be double take, kid can't hear so the doctors first instant is to ask can you hear that and the kid answers right away? Wait what????

This show deserves more respect omg!

If the kid was only getting hurt with dad, I can see why she suspected him. Hearing that the kid is just extra fragile doesn't change the fact that in dad's care she was getting seriously hurt. Dad is still too rough and/or let's the daughter play too rough. Mom did take her out of a situation where she was getting injured even if it wasn't an abusive one where the injuries were intentional.

This is where disease turns into the most fucking confusing thing ever. My head was spinning.

The disease is very rare, so her believing it’s abuse isn’t unexpected

To people suggesting she could've trusted her partner because that's what a marriage is, ignoring the fact that parental love can supercede love for a partner, it seems clear to me that they were divorced and had a shared custody agreement (she mentioned his lawyers and it sounds like they weren't living together). So if the relationship wasn't rosy and the girl was developing injuries everytime she's with her dad, of course the mom would do what she did.

I had heard of a case and the way it was presented in what I read was "Nurse fired for calling CPS" . I read the article and it talks about a elementary school boy being taken to hospital with bleeding, it mentions that his older and younger brothers are recently diagnosed with clotting disorder and the patient needs to be tested for the condition. The nurse calls CPS instead of making sure the patient is treated for clotting disorder.

Parents: 👏 Tell 👏 doctors 👏 and 👏 nurses👏 everything 👏 Healthcare workers: 👏Ask👏or👏watch👏 the👏child👏for👏👏 signs👏 of👏abuse👏

I don’t blame momma it’s not her fault so much she didn’t know happened 😭

literally no jury would convict her for this

The way the girl wanted to see her father weird me out but then it made sense at the end

I think the worse a judge would do would be house arrest. She did not kidnap the child out of malice, there was evidence of abuse amd she had lost in court before to her ex husband on a related matter.

i have a genetic condition that causes my bones to break easily and thats why i only go to one doctor bc they diagnosed me with it and finally understood my problems.

“What have I done?” You found out through the route you took why your daughter is sick and can delay disease progression. Any jail time is worth it though I agree she should maybe be put on probation or get counseling instead of prison.

"The proper authorities sort it out" evidently the proper authorities have developed a policy since hospitals developed specialized roles for these interviews that decide whether to report it: Believe Doctors. Often, no further investigation is performed at all, suspicion is sufficient.

Love this show 💓

On a unrelated note, There is no way this child would have gotten a bone marrow transplant. Not anytime soon. There is a wait list for that. And it’s difficult to find a match. Unless the family members all tested to see if they match. But, mostly likely they won’t.

I feel so sorry about that 😔😔😔😢🩹▪️

Why do I get the feeling that this condition's diagnoses skyrocketed after this episode aired?

Love natalie as working as nurse doctoring knowing whos boss with excellent points

Perfect Rinne and Weber tests

Get better Phoebe ❤

Dr. Manning and Dr. Reece would make a great duo.

I know someone who was questioned as abusing their child because of injuries - child protective services involved and turned out that the child had cancer. I can't even imagine though thinking that your child is being abused and having to have them go back to that home.

Dr manning is my favorite character in Chicago med

“What have I done?” 💔

That's called jumping to conclusions. I have genuinely given myself a black eye from walking into a door. A friend of mine was covered in bruises. His parents were accused of abuse when he went to hospital for something unrelated. He got the bruises from fencing hits. Thankfully it was sorted.

Shes a Mother trying to protect her daughter it's understand to think it's abuse if she's breaking bones especially if she hasn't heard of the condition before and she's making sure her daughter won't continue to be abused

This is so good on 2x 💀

"Can you hear that Phoebe?" "Not really" Hmmmm

Its her daughter tho why is it “kidnapping” did she not have custody or something?

I like how this hospital just orders CT and MRI scans willy nilly…as if insurance companies will never give any push back

Hopefully, the judicial system would look kindly upon this, and the parents would work it out and find a way to get back together IF the suspected abuse was the reason they split up.

I have not seen dr manning in months!

This is bad writing on the shows part, if she has that condition why where her bones only broken at the father’s house? She should have continued to get injuries with her mother . Then they would have figured out it wasn’t abuse

Am I the only one that found it odd, when she didn’t seem to care that they were suggesting child abuse - until they pointed the blame at her?

How did she hear the doctor at all💀

I like the video you posted

Rip Al😢😢😢😢

The mom was on vh1 scream queens ❤I loved her on it should have won

Before and during my time with Aplastic Anemia, I was very pale, fatigued and bruised easily (and the bruises were pretty dark). Thankfully, no one considered that I was being abused, as putting in the factors of my family being German (this was while my parents, brothers and I lived in the States) which gave me light skin and I was blonde (which made the bruises look pretty dark), I did Martial Arts and Horse-back riding, had a younger brother (the second brother came later) who I often went outside with to play and explore (same with my friends) and was generally a happy and energetic child (before the Aplastic Anemia). It was only when I developed petechiae that concern rose and went from Doctor’s office to the ER during the entire day (for those who don’t know, Aplastic Anemia is an autoimmune blood disorder where the T-cells from the immune system attack the bone marrow, which then fails to produce enough blood. My diagnosis was labeled as “Severe” because the doctor said that if we hadn’t taken action, I could have passed within a few weeks). The only thing people were really concerned about was that I was a fairly thin child (finding pants to fit my tiny child waist wasn’t easy 😂) I am no longer as thin, due to hyperthyroidism (a family issue) but I’m fine with my weight, because I am soft and cuddly and have had kids and pets fall asleep on me 😊

The reversed happened to my cousin. My cousin is an OKU, he is mentally impaired. He only became like this because his parents would beat him and thrashed him everytime they lose their money to gambling. They were always having money problems and they had no patience for raising children. They beat him so much that he became mentally impaired. His dad would make excuses, make up lies and justify that my cousin was born mentally impaired in order to take away accountability and evade responsibility for his transgressions he committed against his son, he would pretend he was not the one at fault for causing his son to be this way. But all of us knew the truth, we knew he and his wife turned my cousin this way. No matter how many lies he tells, we all know the truth. Unfortunately, beating your child is not illegal where i am from. We were not allowed to take my cousin away from his parents. So he is stuck with them forever.

Please put full episodes where can I watch for free lol

Will be good if the father know that eventhough it's misunderstanding and distrust, but he know the mother is doing it to protect the child, and thus decided to not press charges.

Excruciating on too many levels

That's Tai from VH1's Scream Queens. 😂 She still has the same forced face expressions 😂

Can you do a part 2 so we can see phoebe getting told please

I hate how short

I wanna know what happened next!

Mother or father, a parent would think the other was doing something in this situation. Either one should of alerted the authorities and speak to their significant other on what their thoughts were.

Good day just smoked my blunt took my H325 pain meds and getting to see my favorite character Dr Charles

again, no jury would ever endict her

sooooo what happend next?

WHY WOULD U STOP RIGHT THERE

The best characters they had o their but they took All the good characters off!!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I mean better safe than sorry

Extream measures

I'm glad CPS was decent in my case. I was a WILD child who got hurt so much in 6 months the hospital called them. Thankfully they listened to me and that my parents were only around for a third of my numbness. XD

Wow.. CPS is always showing up there!

I feel like the actress for the little girl is too old for how they’re treating her. Like if she was like 5ish some of it would make sense but this girl has to be like 8 or 9

"I could never hurt my daughter" *Literally kidnaps her for no reason Sure jan, sure😂

Seems like everyone from the chi is hitting the Chicago shows

Wait.Did she kill her husband because she thought he was abusing her daughter ?

I don’t understand what happen why did the mother say what have I done when dr manning told her it was not abuse then what was it and did the mother do something to her

Summer episode

As a mother your dammed of you do ( if you take the child away for a abusive situation but he's manipulative people could think you just don't want him around but your trying to protect your child but if you don't you'll be dammed cuz you'll be blamed for not take rhe baby out of the situation....I feel her...they should have waited to call and maybe call the husband /father

how was she able to answer that she couldn't hear!?! if she can't hear anything.

i’ve just come across this not watched the whole thing but my name is phoebe !

Good

I knew a person who had a similar condition. The thing is if mom paid attention to the kid and figuring out how she kept getting hurt before thinking abuse shows the trust she has with her husband. I mean a child will most likely be left alone with either or both parents. You can't jump to abuse before figuring stuff out or before the child says something. I don't think it's possible that the kid never got hurt in front of her mom.

Season 2

I can't blame her, but she will pay consecuences for what she did, sad episode

This is a show in real life us parents would be arrested

So what was the outcome?

Where can I find full episodes of this show?

For some reason I would feel like the mom has short term memory loss is the mom just needs to be checked up on too

Get better Pheobe

You can’t kidnap your own daughter tf .

How can she hear the doctor but not the ring

Dr. Reese looks a lot like Draghixa Laurent. I wonder if they're related

I’m half deaf and it hard to hear sometimes

Where can I watch this show

"Can you hear that?" "No, not really" Well this tells me one thing: the girl can hear Dr. Manning.
