Susan Horton was already a mother of four and about to become a mother of five. The night that she went into early labor with her daughter, she had a final meal and probably a well-deserved rest before heading to a Kaiser Permanente hospital in Santa Rosa, California, to deliver her child.
But because that meal Susan ate contained poppy seeds, her baby was immediately taken away from her.
That’s right — the hospital drug tested her without asking, which yielded a false positive for opioids because of the poppy seeds. Susan Horton was separated from her newborn baby for weeks and multiple court hearings before a judge dismissed the case.
Susan’s story is, heartbreakingly, all too common. We must demand that Kaiser Permanente set a precedent and make this right.
Please sign this petition to hold Kaiser Permanente Accountable for separating this mother from her child!
